After a zeitgeisty Halloween costume? Look no further than the back of your wardrobe

Finding a last-minute party outfit doesn’t have to be a chore. Whether it’s a hi-vis vest or those boot-cut jeans you last wore in 2002, you probably already own something ripe for repurposing

When it comes to Halloween, there are two camps.

There are those who start a WhatsApp group in September, assigning people to various party-planning tasks alongside creating a Pinterest board of detailed DIY costume ideas. And then there are those who, on the night, reluctantly start rooting around for that cat-ear headband they bought several years ago.
