Spooky season is here and if you’re still looking for kid’s Halloween costume ideas, we have you covered. From classic witches, cats and ghosties to retro spacemen, cool skeleton sweats and baby pumpkins, scroll to shop the edit…

Chances are you have a defiant one on your hands who has already insisted on their own Halloween outfit idea, but if they are still happy for you to take the reins, we’ve got the sweetest edit of Hallow’s Eve looks to dress them up in.

On the high street, H&M and Zara are absolutely killing it with some of the most adorable October 31st-appropriate pieces we’ve seen. Highlights include the former’s velvety pink pumpkin baskets to take out trick or treating, and the latter’s brilliant green shiny alien costume and charming Frida Khalo-inspired frock and headdress.

For something really special, Meri Meri does some of the best dress-up clothes we’ve seen, from kooky octopus costumes to a fierce little lion outfit. They are definitely more expensive but the age ranges are wider so they last longer, and the themes tend to be less Halloween-focused so they are ideal for adding to the dressing up box, wearing over the festive period, to birthday parties and beyond.

We’re also big cheerleaders of making your own costumes or at least adding a few simple accessories to their existing wardrobes. Case in point, H&M’s cute cat accessories set can be added to a black polo neck and leggings, or Mimi & Lula’s tulle pumpkin cape can be added to their favourite frock.

Little ones will love this skelly sweat suit. Wear as a full-look on the 31st and as separates with jeans or a chunky knit for a cool kid approach.

Meri Meri’s charming pieces can be worn at Halloween, over the festive period, birthday parties and beyond.

The littlest member of the family can still get in on the spooky action with H&M’s adorable pumpkin hat.
