All Hallow’s Eve is very nearly upon us but if you’ve been invited to a bloodcurdling bash chances are it’s happening this weekend.

Alas, time is quickly running out to find the perfect costume and with so many all-out options picking the right one can seem like a bit of a gory minefield.

Fear not though because whether you’ve left it too late or you just don’t dig coating yourself in fake blood, we have the perfect stylish solution.

There are plenty of ways to securing a scarily glam look with very little fuss and what’s more they can be put together in a matter of minutes.

If you’re into macabre dressing but want to get the balance between ghoulish and girly just right why not tap into this season’s goth-glam look. Salvage an old party outfit or opt for something new but whatever you do make sure it’s black and vaulting in lace.

Decorative tights, leather accents and logo tops are also a great way to wear something festive without looking like you’ve tried too hard.

Similarly, sometimes all you need is to add a spooky accessory; think ghoulish themed jewellery, hair accessories, ornate face masks and the ubiquitous choker.

The final nail in the coffin is to get seriously morbid with your makeup. This doesn’t mean you have to go all-out and requires very little skill; simply opt for a dark foreboding lip, spiky lashes or devilishly long talons. Hell, why not do all three.
