Looking back on Halloween costumes you liked best
Halloween 2018 preparations were in full swing by early September this year. Google Trends shows that people were
searching for Halloween costume ideas well ahead of All Hallows Eve.
Each year media and social commentators forecast what they think will be hot in Halloween costumes.We made some predictions ourselves, but our sales data tells the real story. Here are the top 8 best selling Halloween costumes from 2018.
1. Glee Cheerleader
Halloween costume shoppers did not stop believing in 2018. Tons of ladies around the nation wanted to be a William McKinley High School Cheerio, making it our top selling Halloween costume this year.
Our Glee Cheerleader costumes come in a range of styles. We have a fantastic variety of other cheerleader costumes to suit ladies out there who want to take on
the role of pom-pommed team champions.
2. Sexy 1920s flapper
When it comes to the 1920s, there is no such thing as the end of an era! It seems many of you can’t get enough of
our stylish 1920s flapper dresses. Since this one comes in red, black, white and silver, there is a fringy fantasy to be fulfilled in your colour. The feather headpiece and boa are included, and we like to recommend
adding some fishnet tights to accomplish this perennial Halloween costume hitmaker.
3. Deluxe Mario Luigi Women’s costume
Nintendo for life! Just like 2017, the Super Mario Brothers Odyssey release is still going strong. Our
flirty deluxe Mario Luigi women’s costume dress, with top, gloves, hat and cheeky moustache stick was a hit at number three. Women and men (see # 4 top seller below) love to embody Mario or Luigi and chase down Bowser to stop him from kidnapping Princess Peach.
4. Super Mario Luigi men’s costume
Unmistakable in
blue overalls, red or green cap and dandy moustache, we’re not surprised this cheerful Halloween costume character is a back to back hit. Our Super Mario Luigi men’s costume was seen as parties galore in Halloween 2018. You were a double hit if you buddied up and went as Luigi and Mario.
5. Black Great Gatsby flapper dress
You can still hear the 1920s roaring in 2018.
There really is something about fringing, feathers and shimmying the night away Great Gatsby style. This tasselled number comes in three colours - black, red and purple - however, the sassy black dress proved to be the buyers choice. Coming complete with feathered headband, gloves and a boa,
all that’s needed are some pearl strands, fishnets and killer heels to become Daisy Buchanan.
6. Go-Go women’s knee-high boots
One pair of boots in a range of fantastic colours. Ladies were loving these in 2018, and why not. Versatile, retro cool and great value. Add a red pair to complete your
Wonder Woman costume. Choose a complementary colour to go with your retro 1960s costume,
70s disco fever or hippy costume. We suspect you are finding any excuse to coordinate these with your outfit on the weekend.
7. Classic Deluxe Red Riding Hood costume
Little Red Riding Hood was no fool to the Big Bad Wolf disguised as Grandma. It appears modern women were ready to
embrace this brave female folklore character as it was one one of our top Halloween costumes 2018. The lace-up bodice dress with detail along the skirt and matching red cape makes a stylish statement. Is it the bold red resemblance to the much-loved Handmaid’s Tale that brought this one back to popularity? Let us know in the comments below.
8. Jockey Horse Rider men’s costume
This Halloween costume was the dark horse in fashionable costume predictions. It appears there was a crossover between Halloween 2018 and Melbourne Cup this year with
our Jockey Horse Rider men’s costume making our top eight. The chequered satin-look top, pants, hat and boot covers make for perfect horseplay Halloween costume idea.
You just need a riding crop to accessorise. Giddy up!
