8UHHead to the city centre to browse Sheffield’s vintage shops which are a great option for retro outfits. Our favourites are COW on West Street and Vulgar on Division Street. Vintage can be pricey but remember that your outfit doesn’t have to be a one-hit-wonder. It’s a good idea to invest in something really cool that you’ll wear again. So if it’s Eleven from Stranger Things or ABBA you’re dressing up as, vintage is the way to go.
Or, make your own!
In recent years there has been a global drive towards sustainability, and one of the biggest culprits are costumes because you wear them once and throw them away. Instead, why not create something from what you already own? Make a vampire’s cape out of a bin bag or use your bedsheet to become a ghost!
Whatever you’re going as you’ll definitely find the perfect costume in Sheffield.
