October 4, 2017

Halloween is right around the corner. Sure, it’s easy to put off getting a Halloween costume and throw something together last minute. But if you want the hottest, most popular Halloween costumes for kids this year, better grab them now before they’re all gone!

Popular Halloween Costume for Teens

Teens like to be involved without too much work usually. The inflatable T-Rex has been seen in viral photos, videos, and just about everywhere this last year. This will be a hit among teens and adults alike. ‘Suicide Squad’ was a big hit, and so was it’s “cutest couple” Harley Quinn and the Joker. As mentioned above, classics are making a huge comeback! There are a number of cute, but not too revealing, cat costumes out there these days! Or, if you want to play it a bit “mad” and hop on the popular gender bending train, try the female Mad Hatter getup. With ‘IT’ and the general infestation in towns across the country, Killer Clowns are a go to costume this year. Marvel’s surge in popularity is not waning anytime soon. Mix it up a bit celebrating Logan with an easy Wolverine costume.

Kids LOVE to dress up. And the hottest things this year are all about the movies. Emojis are going to be very popular following the movie (and general digital culture) with boys and girls both. Girls will want to portray their favorite strong female role models like Moana, Wonder Woman, and Belle. Boys will want to be their awesome but reckless heroes like Maui, Star Lord, and Kylo Ren.

Halloween Costumes for Kids at H&M Plus a Giveaway!

October 4, 2013

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.

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.
