Don't run out of costume! 23 options with which to succeed on Halloween

by Elisa García- Faya

Halfway between summer and Christmas we celebrate All Saints Day. The night that precedes it is, due to American influence and for some time in the entire world, the most terrifying of the year. And finding the best Halloween costumes is no easy task. Even less if you want to stand out for your originality and the quality of your outfit. The master of ceremonies in this regard is the great Heidi Klum. Their costumes are something out of the ordinary and, although we are aware that having a team of make-up artists and characterization professionals is not something within everyone's reach, we do believe that we can find a very good costume if we start looking carefully. time.

To make your task easier, we have made a selection of some options depending on how much or how little you want to dress up. Depending on the nature of the party you are going to or the activity that you are going to do that night, a simple accessory could be enough, others require something more elaborate and we have found both! Take note!

As a climax you can combine the accessory with a tulle tutu of the same tone.

Medieval gothic dress for witch costume

BUY from €17.83 ON AMAZON

If you are really going to a costume party and you don't have the need to wear an outfit that you can "transform" later, we recommend you bet on a gothic dress like the one you see on these lines.

BUY from €40.86 ON AMAZON

This set containing a jumpsuit, belt, gloves and a headband with glasses is perfect for embodying Halle Berry in Catwoman.

This may be one of them.

We return to the option of horror costumes with this one from Chuchy that you can find on Amazon. It includes a jumpsuit and mask and, in addition to being very successful, it is comfortable and unisex.

BUY for €18.99 ON AMAZON

A few lines above we showed you a Mexican catrina mask. It is a design that combines perfectly with this headband of butterflies and artificial flowers in bright colors. Also, if you want to get a complete look, although this headband could look great with a bardot top and a black high-waisted satin skirt, you can wear it with the dress that we show you below these lines.

Mexican Day of the Dead costume

BUY for €26.99 ON AMAZON

This is the dress with which you can complete your Mexican costume. Its lively 'calacas' (this is what they call their characteristic skulls there) will arouse sympathy among those with whom you share this fun evening.

Shrek Fiona Costume

BUY from €62.86 ON AMAZON

One of the most original costumes in our selection (except for the fact that Heidi Klum herself wore it in 2018) is this one of Fiona that we show you. Of course, to complete it you would need a long braided redhead wig and a green mask. If you are going to attend with your partner (or a friend who is willing), you can become Shrek and Fiona and you will be the kings of the party. Prize for the best costume.

Skeleton Costume

SHOP for €36.66 ON AMAZON

We end up with what is probably one of the sexiest costumes (save for Catwoman) on our list because it's a fully form-fitting jumpsuit that fastens with a zipper at the back. It is a very original skeleton costume with flowers with which you can show off your silhouette.

What is Halloween and when is it celebrated?

Halloween or Night of the Dead is celebrated every year on October 31st. The term Halloweeb is a contraction of All Hallow's Eve (All Saints' Eve). In Ireland it is known as Halloween Samhain. Samhain means "end of summer" in old Irish and is that on October 31 the harvests ended in this region and the new Celtic year began. That is why this pagan holiday is celebrated on this date.
