Trick or Treat? Hallowe'en Footwear: Part 2

Originally produced for Shoe Fanatic and published here.
 

With Hallowe’en just around the corner, we welcome you to part two of our fiendishly fabulous footwear special. 

Gaga Glamour

One of the more fashionable costume options, going as Gaga can take as much (or as little) effort as you’re willing to put in. With everything from meat dresses to police tape in her repertoire, the first Lady of fashion celebrates Hallowe’en all year round. If you don’t fancy smelling of steaks all night, slip into a metallic dress and pop on a pair of glittery wedges, kitten heels or platforms for a great copy of the disco ball look.   

       

Ahoy Sailor

Sailor-chic is all the rage during summer, but carry on the nautical trend with a horn-blowingly brilliant outfit this Hallowe’en. Team a pencil skirt or skinny black jeans with a stripy top and these blue and white canvas peep toes, or grab a pinstripe dress and pop on some sparkly heels and send those men overboard. 

 

Devilish Dorothy

Oh my! Judy Garlands’ most famous role is a favourite for fancy dress around the world. What could be cuter than pigtails, a blue gingham dress and some fabulously sparkly ruby slippers? Luckily, glittery red shoes are hot on the high street, you can pick up these beauties by Red or Dead, New Look and Hush Puppies without any house-related accidents, although I can’t promise that three clicks of these heels will get you home after a night out. If you’re not a fan of Oz, why not slip into a little red dress and add some horns, Voila! One devil outfit to go. 

 

Wickedly Wonderful

Witch outfits may be a staple of Hallowe’en but you can stand out from the coven crowd with these gorgeous boots from Irregular Choice. Available in ornate gold, eye-catching zigzag and metallic leather, pair with a jewel-toned pencil skirt and deep v-neck top for a sexy, burlesque take on the traditional. Finish off with lashings of eyeliner and don’t forget your pointed hat!     

 

   

Vamp Vixen

Vampires are back in vogue, with girls and guys of all ages lusting after the cast of Twilight, True Blood and Vampire Diaries. Bring a little bite to your Hallowe’en celebrations with these gorgeous ankle boots, twist heel courts and flirty ruffle sandals; team with a little black dress, plenty of lace and Queen of the night makeup. You can buy a good set of fangs online; try Scarecrow’s Vamp Fangs for realistic tooth caps that fit snugly.
