Stylish outfit ideas for Halloween

Pumpkins in the garden, trick-or-treat-playing children and many scary creatures in the shop windows of both fashion and party supply stores. Soon it will be October 31 again, time for Halloween! This tradition brought over from America is very popular in the Netherlands. It is the perfect moment to dress up well for a Halloween party. Which ghoul will you be? Of course, you can choose a classic like a scary clown, zombie, or the Joker, but this year you can also go for a frightening and stylish Halloween outfit. We at Gents give you 5 stylish outfit ideas for Halloween. Bet you will look terrifyingly good?

Outfit 1: Count Dracula or graveyard zombie in a suit

Is the role of graveyard zombie or Count Dracula made for you? Then choose a completely elegant tailcoat suit consisting of a black tailcoat, spotless white tailcoat shirt of piqué-cotton quality, a matching white bow tie, and black trousers. Finish off with black patent leather shoes and pointed teeth for a bloodthirsty Halloween outfit.

Outfit 2: Black magician or voodoo priest

Do you feel comfortable in black clothing but with a refined touch? Then this is your outfit! Dress up as a black magician or voodoo priest and choose a long plain black cloak or a black slim fit dinner jacket with a playful paisley pattern. Pair the dinner jacket with smoking trousers, a touch of face paint, and a tall hat and your black look is complete.

Outfit 3: Crazy Hatter or scary clown 3.0

Do you prefer to scare passersby as a scary clown or the Crazy Hatter, but in style? Transform in no time into the Crazy Hatter with a trendy waistcoat in a checkered pattern or a striking waistcoat entirely in gold look. Add a brightly colored shirt, black trousers, a velvet jacket and a striking bow tie . The tall hat is the finishing touch of your Crazy Hatter outfit. With grey pajama trousers and a grey shirt, clunky shoes, and a fake hatchet, you create the scary clown outfit and will stir up the Halloween party.

Outfit 4: Groom ghost or 10,000 volt ghost

Do you not want to appear too clownish during your Halloween night out? Then take to the streets as a groom ghost in a spooky white suit. For the groom ghost role, choose a white or light grey suit and a white shirt. With some white face and hand paint, you will give the other guests the necessary goosebumps. For the 10,000 volt ghost, besides a Scream mask or some white-black face paint, you don’t need much more. A white turtleneck, white chinos and a pair of white lace-up shoes form the base. Throw a string of lights around your white suit and you have the 10,000 volt ghost outfit ready.

Outfit 5: Murderous surgeon or zombie

This last outfit is ideal if you have little time and/or a limited budget for your Halloween outfit. Put on a mint blue shirt with matching blue trousers and throw some blood-red paint stains on them. With a hatchet, saw, or other fake weapon, you are that murderous surgeon or zombie on the dance floor. Happy Halloween!
