5 ALTERNATIVE FANCY DRESS IDEAS IDEAL FOR HALLOWEEN

Don’t rely on recycled ideas for this year’s Halloween party – after all, it’s the one day of the year when you can really go wild! Cheshire-based lingerie and outfit specialists Sparkling Strawberry want you to make your spooky bash a fright night to remember with these five fearsome themes.

Stranger Things

It’s the 80s throwback that has cemented its position as a cult phenomenon – there are even club nights themed around it! Featuring mum jeans and bouffant hair as far as the eye can see, there’s plenty of outfit inspiration. Shake the mothballs out of your most hideously patterned jumper, or grab a lab coat to fit in among the Department of Energy’s scientists.

Movie Inspiration

In another nod to pop culture, your guests can create their own terrifying versions of characters from the year’s big films. Whether it be a creepy Captain America or a horrifying Harley Quinn, the big screen is a treasure trove of ideas.

Pitch Black

Dancing in the dark is bound to include some screams! For a simple and cheap night, ask your guests to dress in dark clothes that they don’t mind getting messy. Next, place UV paint all around your pitch-black party location. Your guests can then decorate themselves as they please or stay paint-free for maximum scare effect.

If You Go Down To The Woods Tonight…

It’s no coincidence that forests are a popular horror movie setting. After all, who knows what’s hiding in the wood with you? For this fancy dress idea your guests can go wild, dressing either as animals of the forest or terrifying creatures. Think teddy bears’ picnic meets Blair Witch Project.

Your Worst Nightmare

Everyone is scared of something, whether they admit it or not. Encourage your guests to turn up dressed as their greatest fear, either from childhood or the present day. You’ll be greeted by a variety of intelligent and probably very funny disguises, from furry monsters from sexy vampire queens.

With such a great opportunity to unleash your fancy dress box, it would be a shame to stick to overused outfits. Take inspiration from our unique themes for a party to be proud of.

Now, it’s time to sling up those Halloween decorationsCan we expect our invite to your party in the post?
