3 Low-Lift Halloween Costumes Using Seasonal Accessories From H&M

by Judy Brumley

Halloween is just around the corner, which means it’s time for kids to start thinking up their best costumes yet — but, between baking delicious pumpkin-spice treats and brainstorming fun, at-home activities, you might be feeling like there isn’t enough time to look high and low for the perfect costume. This year, you can take the stress out of the search by letting your little one use their imagination to dream up their own look with seasonal styles and accessories from H&M.

The best part? These pieces are versatile enough to be re-styled into everyday outfits for months to come — and fun enough to be added to the dress-up box for imaginative play. Whether it’s a pair of cozy sweats for a werewolf costume now that can be worn for basketball practice later or a festive headband and wand that can double as accessories for playtime at home, these simple-yet-clever ideas assemble in a flash — and your kids will reach for them for again and again.

The Queen of Bats

You can put together a DIY bat costume using just a few pieces, like this whimsical black tulle dress and trendy pair of lace-up combat boots. Be sure to tie the look together with this fun headband and matching wand!

The Playful Pumpkin

Any outfit can be turned into a no-fuss, last-minute costume with help from this cute jack o’ lantern dress. These classic ballet flats are neutral enough to be paired with just about anything in your kid’s closet once the holiday has come and gone, and you can never have too many leggings on hand.

The Cozy Werewolf

This cozy ensemble, complete with festive socks from H&M, is perfect for staying warm on cooler fall days. It’s also great for a scary movie marathon and a bowl of popcorn at home this year. Plus, every parent knows it’s a good idea to have extra socks around the house — they always seem to disappear.
