Designer Vintage Clothing you can wear to give a nod to Halloween this October
October is the spookiest month of the year. With Halloween around the corner, the mornings becoming mistier and the evenings getting darker, it’s hard to not feel in the mood for all things ghosts, ghouls and supernatural.
Fancy dress is not something we offer here at Messina Hembry but October is one of our favourite months and Halloween is one of our favourite nights! This is why we want to show you how our clothes can be made into outfits that will give a nod to the festive theme of Halloween throughout October but that you can still wear any day of the week wherever you’re headed.
The Whaling Witch
There couldn’t be a more perfect witchy dress that this vintage Karen Millen one. The bell sleeves are not only super stylish this season, but also are typical of an 18th century witch. Combine fear with fashion this month with this vintage dress that is sure to make people look twice.
The Plump Pumpkin
Whack on this vintage orange bomber jacket with a pair of pitch black trousers to become Halloween’s best looking pumpkin. We love the simplistic nature of this North Sails Harrington Jacket and Dockers Men’s Trousers combo. Black and orange is the classic Halloween colour scheme so with this outfit you can’t go wrong.
The Girly Ghost
This perfect ghostly dress can be dressed up or down. For day-wear, whack a grey or black t-shirt underneath it and a pair of trainers. Heading out for an evening? Pair with heels and a bold lipstick. This vintage Grachvogel dress was made for the Halloween season and can’t wait to see it head to a new home to spook and delight.
Deviant Devil
For all the red-loving deviants out there, October is the perfect month to go all out with bold autumnal colours. Go all out in our red vintage Ralph Lauren jumper and trousers to turn heads wherever you go! As the official colour of Autumn 2017, red is in high demand this season so not only are suitably festive for the Halloween month, but you’re also bang on trend.
Whimsical Wednesday
Wednesday Addams was pretty much as cool and clever as they come – who doesn’t idolise the carefree and ruthless nature of this little pocket rocket? To give a nod to our Wednesday child of woe, we’ve picked out a black vintage Max & Co. dress complete with a Wednesday Addams collar and cut. Wear it for any occasion this October and channel your inner Addams.
The Zealous Zombie
We’re not suggesting you cover yourself in fake blood, rip your clothes and wear fake teeth… No. We’re only suggesting you take a little (very little) inspiration from The Walking Dead and whack that white shirt and grey cotton trousers on as so many zombies who manage to push up through the ground and come back to life seem to wear! We’ve picked a vintage Levi’s shirt and a pair of Madras cotton vintage Gant trousers to pair it.
Gruesome in Green
Green is the colour of envy, jealousy, reptiles and swamps; perfect for Halloween. Pair our vintage green Gant jumper with these black vintage Biba jeans to create a subtle look that won’t stir any suspicions…
The Joyful Joker
One of the best-known villains around with a very particular look that has been imitated on many a Halloween. This year, create an understated Joker look that you can wear wherever you are with our purple cotton vintage Dockers trousers and vintage J.CREW windbreaker jacket.
So there we have it! How you can give a nod to Halloween all through the month of October without being thought of as a fanatic!
