A ghost costume is a white or greyish costume with a loose-fitting robe, frayed points along the hem and a hood or mask with black eyes and mouth. Within the broader Halloween costume collection, this is the classic spooky theme for women, men and children. For women, dresses are available in white, grey and off-white, while men can find a robe with a hood and gloves or a black-and-white striped three-piece suit, and the majority of the collection consists of children's clothing, from toddler jumpsuits to long robes for older children.
From a white sheet to a ghost bride: this is what's available
- Complete robes with an attached or separate hood and a matching mask, usually in white with a black printed face.
- Dresses for women, from a grey version with an attached hood and loose chains to a ghost bride with a veil and black floral print.
- Ponchos and jumpsuits for children, including a white jumpsuit with a BOO hood and snap fasteners at the crotch and a patched poncho with yellow and purple patches.
- More gruesome versions such as a black robe with two hoods and two skull masks, or a robe with grey gloves with pointed ends.
- A short two-piece outfit with a white t-shirt and black-and-white tutu for those who prefer cheerful rather than scary.
Why is a Halloween ghost still the best-known spooky costume?
The image of a ghost owes its recognisability to its simplicity: everyone immediately recognises a white sheet with two eye holes as a ghost. In this collection, this style is reflected in the loose robe with bell sleeves and a pointed hem that sways like tattered strips with every movement. The grey, tattered style with tulle, mesh and cobweb sleeves also comes close to a weathered appearance. If you want a costume that stands out in the dark, the plain white range works best, while the grey versions come into their own under the lamplight on a ghost walk. For children, choose based on height rather than age: the collection ranges from 104 cm for toddlers to 164 cm for teenagers, and adult ghost clothing is available in standard sizes. If you are unsure between two heights, choose the larger one, as a robe can be worn loosely.
How to put together a complete ghost outfit
Most robes already come with a hood or mask, so you often need very little to complete the look. Gloves ensure that no skin is visible, and they are included in the packaging with some sets. A Spider costume or a Grim Reaper costume for the rest of your group adds a story to your ghost costume, while those who prefer the veil-and-mask style should look at the Ghost costume. Choose white or black shoes that disappear under the hem.
