Halloween Costumes for Rebels and Misfits

Halloween’s almost here, and it’s time to ditch the clichéd costumes.

If you're the kind of person who’d rather stage-dive than play it safe, we’ve got the perfect mashup of music, mayhem, and a dash of the supernatural for your pop culture inspired Halloween outfit.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire: Heartache with Bite

Olivia Rodrigo’s hit Vampire gives us all the feels and just the right amount of bloodthirsty energy. For this costume, channel Olivia’s teen angst with a gothic twist. Think dark, glamorous, and a little unhinged—because being heartbroken never looked this fierce.

How to nail it:
- The Look: Dramatic dark eyeliner, blood-red lips, and pale skin to mimic that undead vibe. Pair it with a lacey black dress or something glam, maybe a leather jacket to add a rebellious edge.
- Accessories: Fake fangs (obviously) and some glittery teardrops under your eye - because heartbreak glistens. Bonus points for carrying a microphone with a splash of “blood” on it - because who says you can’t cry AND bite back?
- Attitude: Channel Olivia’s raw emotion, throwing side-eye glances and brooding stares. After all, you’re the vampire that got played, but you’re not going down without a fight.

Ghost Town: 2-Tone Meets the Apocalypse

If there’s a 2-Tone tune that screams “perfect for Halloween,” it’s Ghost Town by The Specials. This one’s got the eerie vibe of an abandoned city with a touch of rebellious post-punk attitude. Mix ska’s two-tone design aesthetic with a dash of the haunted.

How to nail it:
- The Look: Go for a classic black-and-white checkerboard suit or mod-style getup—sharp but slightly dishevelled, like you’ve just emerged from a haunted 1980s dancefloor.
- Accessories: A creepy mask or ghostly face paint to really drive home that ghost town vibe. Chuck in some cobwebs on your lapels or make it look like your suit’s been through a riot (it probably has).
- Attitude: Walk like you own the ghost town. A slow, eerie swagger with the occasional 2-tone shuffle dance will keep people on edge. Haunting but cool.

Dracula: The OG Bloodsucker

This one’s a classic but it’s all in the details—and if you want to really stand out, give it a fresh twist. Dracula’s had many faces over the centuries, so you can go full Bela Lugosi, modern-day vampire lord, or even twist it with a rock-star Dracula hybrid. We prefer the Christopher Lee classic 60s Drac.

How to nail it:
- The Look: Slick-back hair or a messy mane if you’re going for rock Dracula. A velvet cape (always) and a Victorian waistcoat for that 19th-century aristocrat vibe. Or, replace that with a shredded band tee for a punky Drac look.
- Accessories: A cane, a goblet of “blood” (read: wine), and a necklace with a bat pendant. Bonus points for pairing your Dracula fangs with aviators—you’re a rock star who just happens to be undead.
- Attitude: You’re not just any vampire. You’re the most powerful creature in the room, and everyone knows it. Carry yourself with a sinister smirk and the occasional “I’ve been undead for centuries” cackle...MWAHAHAHA!

Ziggy Stardust Meets Werewolf

Why choose between space alien and lycanthrope when you can combine both? This Halloween, imagine if Bowie’s iconic alter-ego Ziggy Stardust was howling at the moon. It’s glam rock meets supernatural horror, and it's everything you didn’t know you needed.

How to nail it:
- The Look: Start with Ziggy’s lightning bolt face paint, but add werewolf elements like claws and fur creeping out from under your sleeves. Wear a jumpsuit, something glittery and over-the-top, paired with torn edges as though you’ve just transformed.
- Accessories: Wolf ears, claws, and a microphone (so you can howl into it, of course). Add a chain around your wrist like you’ve just broken free from captivity.
- Attitude: You’re a cosmic creature with a wild side. Dance through the party like you’re on stage at Wembley, but keep those werewolf instincts sharp—ready to unleash your inner beast at any moment.

Lady Gaga's Monster Ball: Freak Out in Full Force

Who better to embody Halloween chaos than Lady Gaga herself? Her Monster Ball era is an absolute goldmine for turning pop music into a freaky, fabulous costume. The beauty of this is that *anything* goes, as long as it's larger than life.

How to nail it:
- The Look: Go full avant-garde with sky-high heels, wild wigs, and anything metallic. Mix in horror elements, like fake blood and claws, but make it fashion.
- Accessories: A spiked crown, outlandish makeup, and claws instead of fingers. The more outlandish, the better.
- Attitude: You’re here to *own* the room. Strut like you’re on a never-ending runway. Throw in some cryptic, weird statements about the meaning of monsters. Be Gaga.

Add a Slogun Twist: Statement T-Shirts for Halloween

If you’re more into low-key vibes but still want to make a statement, grab one of Slogun’s defiant, rebellious t-shirts and give it a spooky twist. Pair our politically charged, rock-inspired designs with fake blood, fangs, or ghoulish face paint. Why wear a blank tee when you can rock a message that’s as fierce as your costume?

- The Look: Pick one of our slogan tees and distress it for that grunge-punk aesthetic. Add some spooky accessories to match the theme (a skeleton mask, chains, or bat wings).
- Attitude: You're not here to blend in. Walk in like the rebel you are, costume or not, you're making a statement.

Now It’s Your Turn…
