Halloween is just around the corner! What will your little ghosts and goblins dress up as this year?

This autumn, H&M has created a special collection of dress-up pieces and Halloween costumes for kids, with 25% of all sales going directly to All for Children. H&M supports this UNICEF project which helps improve some of the most disadvantaged children’s access to quality education, healthcare and social protection services in communities where they operate. The money raised by this collection will go specifically to UNICEF’s work in Bangladesh.

This year’s All For Children collection is inspired by 18th century masquerade balls with costumes such as mermaids, sailors, Marie Antoinette, and pirates.

Girls can dress up as ghosts, pirates or mermaids. Costumes are adorned with bows, webbing, gold embroidery and cool tattoo prints which bring the fantasy of the masquerade alive; flounces on a ghost dress for girls, or the bows on a girl’s pirate top or dress. The accessories have added touches, like the seashells and starfish on a mermaid crown, or a bag shaped like Marie Antoinette’s pug.

H&M All for Children Halloween

For boys, there is a sea captain’s coat complete with frog closures, or a tattoo top and pants if he prefers to be a pirate. There’s a batwing cape, a skeleton-printed jumpsuit, as well as black and white stripes in a horizontal-striped top and vertical-striped jacket and pants. Boys’ accessories include a bat eye mask, pirate boots and a captain’s hat complete with parrot.

All for Children started in 2009 with a five-year project in southern India, supported by a USD$4.5 million donation from H&M. H&M’s support to All for children has so far helped 758,000 children in Southern India.

The All for Children collection H&M is supporting the All for Children project in Bangladesh which is a partnership with UNICEF. The project will improve access to quality education, basic life skills and social protection services for 40,000 boys and girls living in slums around Dhaka.

  1. shes still a bit young so i get to pick what she is, thinking a bee or fairy, she already likes to dress up,

  2. I have four children – eldest most likely dressing up as if she was going to a masquerade, (triplets) – Sock Monkey, Secret Agent and Zombie!

  3. Love that these costumes are age appropriate. Not a single skanky costume to be seen– which is getting more difficult every year. Well done h&m

  4. DD7 wants to be Dorothy from Oz at school (so she can wear the sparkly red high heels she has) and DD4 is going as Snow White.

  5. My daughter wants to be Cinderella so bad! I really like these H &M costumes. They are age appropriate and look o be good quality!

    the more my kids learn about Halloween they are also appreciating the traditional costumes; last year they were a witch and a clown and this year they’ve chosen more scarier costumes

  7. My daughter keeps changing her mind, so far it’s a toss up between a “candy witch” (whatever that is) or Rapunzel.
