Halloween has grown so much in popularity that options for Halloween Costumes are now almost limitless. Although the standard scary costumes still top the list, there are plenty of options if you would like to try something a little different.
Ladies might like to try one of the new and very on trend Harley Quinn costumes, although there are plenty of other possibilities – some of the Day of the Dead costumes on offer now are stunning, and offer the opportunity to play around with as many (or as few) accessories as you would like. They can be teamed with intricate masks, face paints and wigs or left as they are if you feel like being more conservative. If you fancy something more subtly sexy, you could try one of the Arabian Genie costumes – they require very little in the way of accessories, all you need is a bit of smoky eye make-up and you’re good to go.
The great news is that guys are far better catered for than ever before when it comes to costumes now, too. Gone are the days when the only option was Dracula – there are some incredible Mortal Combat masks out there now if you fancy reliving your console playing days. Zombie Pirates will always get a good reaction, especially if you team them with a wig dusted with some talc or layers of dry shampoo. If you want to go all out, you could try some creepy contact lenses to complete the zombie effect. One of the annually most popular costumes for men has to be the ‘Leatherface’ (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) costume – it’s instantly recognisable and great, creepy fun for scaring the neighbours! If you and your partner want to go with a theme, there are also some great Day of the Dead men’s costumes out there too – they’re a fantastic option if you’re looking for something a little different in terms of Halloween Costumes this year.
