THE SECRET TO A LUXURIOUS HALLOWEEN COSTUME? LAYERS 🕷️

You don’t need to spend a fortune on a fancy dress costume to create a look that looks luxurious.

The trick is to layer, mix textures and play with materials. Think lace against leather, velvet with sheer fabrics, oversized knits, flowing skirts, belts, jewellery and all those little details that make an outfit feel intentional.

Raid your own wardrobe, borrow from your mates, rummage through the charity shops and get creative with what you already own. You might be surprised by what you can put together! 🖤

And here’s the really scary bit:
🎃 An estimated 7 MILLION Halloween costumes are thrown away in the UK every year.
🧵 Research found that 83% of the material in Halloween clothing and costumes surveyed was plastic.
🍼 That plastic waste was estimated to weigh around 2,000 tonnes, the equivalent of approximately 83 million plastic bottles.*

Fast, cheap fancy dress might only be worn once, but its environmental impact lasts far longer.

The best costume might already be hanging in your wardrobe 🦇
