What to Wear on Halloween?

Halloween is a time of family fun and spooky thrills. It is especially delightful to plan costumes for the little ones and witness their excitement for haunted houses and spider webs. Rather than buying the same old Halloween costume that may not fit by next year, design your own DIY Halloween outfits. Especially when created from everyday Lilaxshop basics, you will embrace the eerie charm of the holiday, challenge your creativity, and offer a more sustainable and long-lasting alternative.

Classic Halloween Costumes That Never Go Out of Style

The holiday season is an opportune time to stock up on quality everyday clothing for your babies, toddlers, and older kids. There are so many deals, sales, and promotions on offer that you can even stock up for next year by going one or two sizes up. Using everyday clothing staples to make Halloween dresses for your little angels is cost-effective as well, as the clothes can be incorporated into the regular wardrobe after the holidays. Here are some fun and classic Halloween ideas that never go out of style and are easy to DIY:

Vampire: A perfect Halloween outfit idea for babies and infants. Use the Lilaxshop tuxedo footie and child-safe face paint to draw vampire fangs. The outfit can easily be adapted for toddlers using Lilaxshop's baby boy suit and a DIY cape.
Witch Costume: Great for baby girls of all ages. The baby girl dress sets from Lilaxshop make an ideal base — pair with a black turtleneck or leggings for warmth. These lace and tulle outfits combine premium materials with lasting durability, making them wearable well after Halloween.
Casper the Friendly Ghost: Another timeless choice. Use Lilaxshop’s white footie or jumpsuit/romper, add non-toxic face paint and a white beanie, and your little one becomes an adorable ghost. You can DIY felt eyes or a tulle cape for extra effect.
Cat Burglar: For kids who prefer simple Halloween clothes, use Lilaxshop’s black Big Girls Cotton Basic Mock-Neck Shirt & Leggings Set. Add a DIY mask and a loot bag, and she’s ready for a comfy and creative night.

Pop-Culture Inspired Looks for 2025

Pop culture has always been a treasure trove for last-minute Halloween costume ideas, and 2025 is no exception. Here are a few fun, recognizable, and DIY-friendly ideas:

Wednesday Addams: Pair Lilaxshop’s Girls Ballet Skirt Chiffon Wrap in black with the Little Girls Cotton Long Sleeve Basic Mock-Neck T-Shirt and add a faux white collar. For chilly nights, complete the look with Lilaxshop tights underneath.
Inside Out 2 Emotions: Use Lilaxshop’s colorful basics to recreate Joy, Sadness, Anger, or Anxiety. Add simple felt details or face paint matching each emotion — perfect for little ones and families alike.
