Is Halloween, as Mean Girls has it, the one night of the year the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it? Is it a time to scare the living daylights out of yourself and everyone around you? Or is it a place to show off your individual genius by make some kind of Halloween-ish pop culture reference? Well, no matter what your view is (though probably if it’s the latter) you may be on the hunt for a British Halloween costume.
Of course, there are loads of standard British Halloween costumes you could try — scary Royal Family members past and present, Beefeaters, Geri Halliwell (or all of the Spice Girls). There’s plenty out there if you give “British Halloween costumes” on google. But if you want something a bit different, we’ve got some thoughts for you.
So without further ado (and because the likelihood is, you might be googling this about 38 hours before you’re supposed to go to a Halloween party and are looking for an easy idea), here are some of the best British Halloween costumes we could come up with.
