Looking for the best Halloween costume ideas for 2026? You’re in the right place! If you're heading out trick-or-treating, hosting a haunted house party or dressing up for a Halloween event, The Range has everything you need to create a scarily good look.
From classic Halloween costumes, looks inspired by this year’s biggest trends, and spooky accessories, to easy DIY Halloween costumes that anyone can make, you'll find plenty of inspiration on what to wear for Halloween below.
Every year, Halloween brings a fresh wave of costume inspiration from blockbuster films, TV shows, and viral social media trends, and 2026 is no different.
Superhero costumes are always popular choices for Halloween, and with Supergirl and Spider-Man: Brand New Day doing numbers at the box office in 2026, this year will be no different. So whether you’re throwing on your Superman cape or a full Spider-Man suit, our men's Halloween costumes and kids' Halloween costumes selection covers the classics in sizes for the whole crew.
Wicked’s witchy magic is still in people’s minds, especially with the show-stopping Wicked the Musical hitting the stage again this year at the Apollo. Shop for green-tinted makeup, a black dress, and a pointed hat for an Elphaba-style look, or keep it simple with a cape and broomstick. Our women's Halloween costumes collection has plenty to build a witch look from, and there's smaller kids’ sized versions available too, if it's the little ones casting the spells this year.
Nevermore fans have it pretty easy this year - a black pinafore, white collar, and two low plaits will get you most of the way to a Wednesday Addams look. Chuck in some deadpan energy, and you’re pretty much there!. Our women's and kids' Halloween costumes selection both have gothic-leaning pieces that work as a base, so it's easy to build the outfit up from there with accessories.
If you've spotted trending costumes on your social media feed featuring characters from KPop Demon Hunters or Labubus, why not create your own DIY version? You can also keep things classic with skeletons, vampires, zombies, clowns, and pirates. They’ll never go out of style and are super easy to make on your own with basic props and makeup.
Aside from being easy to make, DIY Halloween costumes are also just a fun way to get creative, and many of them can be made using clothes you already own, some Halloween arts & crafts bits, and a few basic Halloween accessories.
If you’re going for something timeless, get the zombie look with worn out jeans and a ripped shirt with some facepaint to match. Or, for a vampire, DIY yourself a cape with some slicked back hair and some fake blood and you’re ready to go. The beauty of DIY costumes is that you can make them unique to you - in our opinion, the best ones aren’t always the most polished!
There’s certain Halloween costumes that will simply never go out of style, and that’s what makes them classics. If you’re on the hunt for something timeless, check out these choices:
• Skeletons: Instantly recognisable and easy to create with black clothing, white bone details, and some creative skull face paint.
• Zombies: Tear up old clothes, add fake blood and messy makeup for a low-effort Halloween hit.
• Witches: A black outfit, pointed hat and broomstick create one of the holiday’s most iconic costumes.
• Vampires: Complete the look with a cape, fake blood, slicked back hair, and vampire teeth.
• Pirates: Add a striped top, eye patch, hat and toy sword for a classic fancy dress costume that's always popular.
Planning matching outfits? Family Halloween costumes are a great way to bring everyone in on the fun.
Popular group costume ideas include:
• A family of skeletons
• Vampire family
• Witches and wizards
• Superhero team
• Pirate crew
Don't forget your accessories. Matching face paint, props and wigs help tie your whole group's costumes together.
Need a last-minute Halloween costume? A spooky mask is a great choice if you’re after something that doesn’t take any time to put together.
From creepy clowns to terrifying creatures, a well-chosen mask can turn any outfit into a Halloween masterpiece. Pair it with dark clothes and spooky accessories for a full look, or just with your everyday clothes if you’re not crazy about getting dressed up.
For the creatives among us, face paint opens up endless possibilities. Create terrifying skeletons, vampires, zombies or colourful fantasy characters with makeup, glitter and special effects - the world is your oyster!
Your four-legged friend can join the Halloween fun too with our Halloween for pets collection.
Choose from adorable Halloween jumpers, pumpkin prints, spooky bandanas or miniature witch hats to include your pet in the celebrations. If your pet is comfortable wearing costumes, soft capes and themed accessories make for some unforgettable photos.
Always make sure any pet costume is comfortable, lightweight and doesn't restrict movement or breathing.
So no matter if you’re trend-obsessed, a DIY lover, or a fan of the classics, The Range has everything you need to make Halloween 2026 the best one yet.
Browse our Halloween Shop to discover Halloween costumes, decorations, accessories, party supplies and inspiration for the spookiest celebration of the year.
