Halloween 2024 is just around the corner! We’re about to enter the spooky season very soon. Are you ready?

It is everyone favourite time of the year when you can put on a costume and not get rude stares, the only time to receive candy from strangers (chocolate is love) without being creeped out and it is perfectly acceptable to hide under beds to scare your unsuspecting friends. Tricks and treats here I come! But before I do that, what kind of outfit should I prepare for Halloween?

Want to walk away with the best costume for halloween? Your entire ensemble should comprise of a solid theme, it has to be realistic and do pay attention to the little details that will bring your outfit to LIFE! Invest in some props to give your outfit some character. Ever seen a vampire without fangs? That is more commonly known as a very pale cannibal. Whether you are a witch (good or evil) a your prop could be stereotypical items that characterise them. A werewolf is not a werewolf without excessive facial hair and a mariachi band is nothing without their guitars! There’s so many funs in creating your halloween outfit!

Some themes you could explore would be PUNS, dress for a social cause, go as your quirky friend or idol and not forgetting the classic scary costume. Planning to go as a frightening creature from the Underworld? Judging from pop culture, the in-monster this year is going as yourself.

Jokes aside, selecting and curating your Halloween costume is serious business! Things to consider would be your budget, the amount of time you can spare and could you recycle old Halloween items? A good costume does not need to be expensive. As long as it is cohesive, unexpected and you play the part well. So for those planning on going as a sexy cat again this year, shame on you.
