For those this spooky season wanting to make their ex regret their choices and dress the sexiest they can, I would suggest Vinted. Here you can find deadstock 2000s, Y2K costume sets that range from a Burlesque Bunny to a Cosy Snowman. The majority of these costumes are priced from £5 to £20 (or even make a cheeky Vinted offer). Not only are they a great throwback, but there is a definite chance of somebody not having the same costume as you, therefore making you stand out even more. The majority of these costume sets derive from lingerie companies such as Leg Avenue and Fever, so no doubt the sexy factor is taken into account and will definitely drop jaws.

However, for my scary pumpkins this Halloween, I would suggest charity shops, as you can heighten the scary factor through makeup instead. If we are going for horror movie icons such as Freddy Krueger, Scream, Michael Myers, and Patrick Bateman, these all consist of simple male clothing, including dark neutral colours and stripes. Typically, these should cost no more than £5. SFX makeup and fake blood, if you don’t already have a versatile eyeshadow palette, can be picked up from Poundland or your closest grocery store.
Now for the cheapest, and by cheapest I mean free: the silly costumes. If your biggest concern for the night is how intoxicated you can get and you need a costume to get into that one house party, then here you go. A lobster, a pea, a prisoner, a cheerleader, are these ringing a bell yet? The Wednesday night sports social costumes! These will only collect dust if you don’t bring them out for a re-wear. Plus, being an outfit repeater in this economy is very cool girl energy. If you didn’t partake in these rituals, one of your flatmates definitely has.
Don’t be fooled by the consumerist fast fashion content this season, re-wear and share your wardrobe and have a Happy Halloween!
