Halloween costumes


Before we get to the jolliest time of the year, we need to get through the spookiest season first. Halloween in the Philippines is spent a bit differently than in other countries. The first and second of November are typically spent in cemeteries honoring our relatives in the afterlife; houses don’t usually prepare candy and kids don’t go trick-or-treating.

But just because we don’t spend the holiday the way they do in the USA doesn’t mean we can’t dress up for the occasion. After all, there isn’t a shortage of Halloween parties where you need to be at your most original, aesthetically. It’ll also be a chance to fulfill your deepest fantasies of becoming an ethereal princess or a sexy nurse or even a terrifying monster, anything other than the young professional with a 9 to 5 job. If you need help on just where to look for creative Halloween costumes, the following stores have you covered.
