Halloween: The Vampire, The Zombie or The Warlock

  
Our ancestors believed that on October 31 the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and wreck havoc in the living world, so masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them.

So with old Hallows eve almost upon us,  we thought it fitting to share some outfit ideas   if you are looking for a way to cradle this emerging custom then take a look at these inspiring outfit ideas:

Featured above to get you started with your Vampire inspired style is the  Sinister Hooded Cape, Restyle Satchel, Venetian Mask  and then for the make-up here are the basics which include Stargazer, Manic Panic and HexSoaps.

Or if you are a fan of the sallow walking dead complexion of zombies,  you are in for a real treat with shredded trousers, torn shirts and ripped skirts and skulls.
