Best Halloween Costumes for Kids 2023 (& Spooky T-Shirts for Women)

Hold my PSL. It’s spooky season!

It’s time for kids’ Halloween costumes, Halloween house decor, and Halloween clothes for women. Individually wrapped candies don’t count as calories for the next couple of months, and apples are inedible unless dipped in caramel. 

The inside of the house should carry a cinnamon scent at all times. Outdoors must maintain a brisk, around-the-fire-pit sensation and the Sanderson sisters are an acceptable icebreaker for every social engagement. Also acceptable: Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

You can now begin daydreaming about DIY Halloween costumes for kids. Then, I ask you to recall last year’s rush to buy a last-minute Paw Patrol costume for toddlers or a witch costume for girls and feel free to disregard that train of thought immediately. 

This Hallow’s Eve, you can either be prepared, realistic, or both by shopping the Great Pretenders costumes for kids and Meri Meri Halloween decorations for parties and home in advance. In this post, you’ll find responsibly sourced costumes for kids like Harry Potter wizard capes, ballerina tutus, princess costumes, unicorn costumes, and more. 

And great news: these costumes for girls and boys check all the boxes for aesthetically-inspired instagram moms (all of us?) and kids who are drawn to licensed characters like Snow White, Batman, Spiderman, and Cinderella. How do they do that? 

These kids’ Halloween costumes are:

• - Over-the-top gorgeous
• - Made from quality fabrics
• - Uniquely suited for longterm play
• - Creatively positioned to encourage pretend play and imagination
• - Different from the Amazon and Target costumes other kids on the block are wearing

You’ll be able to keep an easy eye on your girls and boys as they flutter around in their butterfly wings, dragon capes, or blue bird feathers. And you’ll pack your smartphone full of trick-or-treat memories that will last a lifetime.

Join the fun with your own Halloween costume or grab a few spooky graphic tees for women. 

Decorate the house with unique Halloween decor such as felt pumpkins and silly signs starting in early September to enjoy the magic for as long as you and your enchanting littles want to keep things creepy-crawly. 

This season can be as playful or as spooky as you want it to be. Just make sure to lean into the magic before it vanishes—we won’t be in October orbit for another full year. 

Best Kids’ Costumes for Halloween 2023

The most magical part of Halloween is seeing your children transported into a fairytale land by their Halloween costumes. Will they slay a dragon? Cast a spell to save the city? Join the circus? Attend a royal ball? To make kids’ costume shopping a bit easier—and more fun—we’ve split the costumes into categories below. Bear in mind each of our costumes is made from quality fabric, so you don’t have to worry about them ripping before you get to the trunk-or-treat situation.

Halloween Graphic Tees, Party Decorations & Pumpkin PJs

Halloween T-Shirts for Women

Halloween graphic tees are the easiest way to up the ante on fall fun. You can pair them with jeans, shorts, maxi skirts, or even toss them over a form-fitting dress to make any occasion festive. My favorite Halloween t-shirts are the ones that reveal a little bit about your personality so that the other space cowgirls or bad witches can see and appreciate your specific brand of spice. Here are a few of the best Halloween t-shirts for moms and friends.

Unique Halloween Decor for Home

There’s nothing cuter than seeing your little monster fast asleep on a festive Halloween pillow with a smiley vampire as Halloween decor. I’m confident our Halloween decor options get better and better every year, including spooky signs, felt pumpkins, sherpa pumpkins—in leopard print!—Halloween banners, and ghost pillow covers. When I was a kid, my mom used a spider web fabric tablecloth year after year, and the thought of it gets me nostalgic for hot dog roasts and sticky caramel candies. Imagine the memories your kids will enjoy as they see you hang an Imani Collective banner up every year or place a Harvest Moon sign on the mantle each September (spooky season opening, as we like to call it).

Take a moment now to envision holding your PUMPKIN clad little PUMPKIN on your hip while sipping a PUMPKIN spice latte. That, my friends, is self-actualization. Take a peek at a few of the pumpkin pajamas and jack-o-lantern matching sets below and then shop the full line.
