With only 1 week left until the big night, it’s time to get your Halloween costume sorted!
Being a London based blog I thought I’d start with some London themed inspiration for you (click on headers for links)…
Even Big Ben can be made sexy… 😉
Or try pairing this more comical clock face paint along with a Big Ben badge.
Fun Fact: Beefeaters, or Yeomen of the Guard, are the ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London, and historically, they would have been responsible for the safeguarding of the Crown Jewels and looking after prisoners kept at the Tower. The most popular speculation is that the name Beefeater originated from the fact these guards were allowed to eat as much beef as they liked from the King’s table.
Because admit it… you’ve always wanted to wear one of those hats!
The Queen
Dress like the main lady herself. There are no ready-made costumes for this one. Just pick and bright colour, grab a fancy hat, and make sure everything matches!
The London Tube Stops
A great group costume – dress to match each stop like these guys below.
But if you don’t fancy dressing as a London icon, here’s a few other funny ideas…
A One Night Stand
Appropriate costume for when you’re doing the walk of shame the morning after.
Word of advice… Do not wear this one to a party where there might be children present.
If you’re reading this blog post, the chances are you found it through Instagram or Twitter, and therefore I think you might like this one…
Gross but strangely amusing.
And finally a few of the worst ones I have found. You’ll notice that most of these are food items. I don’t really understand why people would want to dress as ‘sexy’ food, or food at all for that matter!
I mean, who feels the need to dress as a ‘cute carrot’ anyway?
A tastier option, but I’m not sure it even looks that much like a burger.
Just a way of saying I wanted to be funny but couldn’t be bothered to get a real outfit.
Just in case you feel stupid dressing up as a strip of bacon alone.
So you can go around prodding all your friends dressed as food.
Just why…?
A Domino Piece
You can even pick which numbers you want on it.
