ASOS' Halloween Collection Is Ideal For Anyone Who Can't Commit To A Full-On Costume

by Bella Gerard

Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween, but most of the time, I'm basing my costume around the makeup. I'm a beauty girl at heart, and I can't always be bothered to piece together a head to toe look — can't I just throw on my Euphoria glam, wear something ~festive~, and call it a day? Fortunately, the ASOS Halloween 2019 Collection features more Halloween-themed clothes than actual costumes, so if you're looking for something to get you in the spooky spirit that isn't a $69 costume you'll never wear again, you're in luck.

Like I said, I know I'm not the only one who sometimes ends up in a semi-costume with makeup as the focal point of my look. Haven't you ever donned one of those "This is my costume" black slogan tees? What about a simple LBD and cat ears? A red tank top and devil horns? Real talk, that's often as much effort as I can put into my fit from the neck down, so ASOS's super cute Halloween-themed lineup this year is a godsend. There are a few items that feature skeleton bones, not to mention a handful of pairs of bunny ears and devil horns, but for the most part, the collection features cute basics in Halloween-amplified textures, prints, and silhouettes, and I guarantee you can wear most of the items again after October 31.

Let's begin with my fave, the ASOS Design Off Shoulder Long Sleeve Vinyl Wrap Mini Dress ($103, asos.com):

Gimme an H! Gimme an O! Gimme a T, because this look is HOT! Throw on any kind of ears, a Batman superhero mask, a vampire-friendly dark lip, or carry a dominatrix whip. There are a million and one ways to style this vinyl dress to make it a ~costume~, and you can totally wear it with black heels or over-the-knee boots to parties and clubs the other 364 days of the year.

If you're more of a lady in red, the ASOS Design Halloween Red Lace Jumpsuit ($45, originally $56, asos.com) is the move:

I love this one! Throw on devil horns and a tail and you're done, or add some rhinestones around the eyes and give your best Maddy from Euphoria slay. Or, throw on a hood and serve up some Little Red Riding Hood realness. Love that idea.

If you just want to throw on a classic Halloween tee instead, the ASOS Design Curve Halloween Glitter Sleep Tee ($29, asos.com) will have you looking like a Halloween Queen:

The Noisy May Full Moon Logo Ribbed Neck T-Shirt ($26, asos.com) is another cute option, with the phrase "Full moon made me do it":

See? You can wear a tee and still look like you made effort! Especially if you're accessorizing properly.

I love the ASOS Design Halloween Trick Treat Hair Clips ($10, asos.com), and definitely plan to wear them to at least one Halloween party:

The ASOS Design Halloween Red Flower Garden Headband ($13, asos.com) is another beautiful, statement-making option:

All the above and more clothes and accessories are available on the ASOS website now as part of their Halloween collection. Feel free to head over and get your spooky on!
