Being a glasses wearer can actually have its benefits when it comes to last-minute Halloween costume ideas. Glasses or even sunglasses can really finish off your look — whether you love a super scary ensemble or a fun, light-hearted one that gives you a rush of nostalgia. Your glasses can make the perfect prop for several different Halloween costumes.
Are you a cosplay pro or looking to be inspired for an upcoming Halloween party? Either way, we have plenty of ideas for Halloween costumes with glasses, so you have certainly come to the right place!
Be a rock ‘n’ roll star like Liam or Noel!
Get your bucket hat and round sunglasses ready! Now that everyone’s favourite British band Oasis have finally confirmed their long-awaited reunion and 2025 tour, it seems only right to celebrate by digging out your favourite Britpop gig gear. Why not dress as your favourite Gallagher brother this Halloween?
Oasis formed in the early 1990s and struck a chord with their fans not only for their catchy rock ‘n’ roll music but also their classic fashion sense. Their sense of style was in fact inspired by the trendy mod culture of the 1960s. Liam was recognised for his signature outfits which often incorporated a parka and a pair of John Lennon-style sunglasses, while Noel was fond of a more toned-down look yet had equally good taste in fashion. The brothers led Britpop culture and left a lasting impression that continues to inspire today. So, if you are fan, you probably already have all the wardrobe staples you need to achieve the iconic Oasis look on 31st October this year!
Get in touch with your emotions
The release of Inside Out 2 at cinemas this year has both adults and kids excited! Whether you have seen the films or not, the character Sadness is a really easy Halloween costume to pull off. All you will need is a polo-neck knitted sweater and of course, a big round pair of glasses – try our Justin frame above or choose a similar style that you have at home! This costume also has the added bonus of being warm and cosy on chilly autumn evenings. To finish off the look, why not paint your face blue and add some blue lipstick?
Is it a bird, is it a plane… no it’s Superman!
This costume will take you from zero to hero in no time! It might seem like an obvious choice, but who doesn’t love Superman? For an easy throw-on Clark Kent outfit, suit up in a shirt and tie, not forgetting the classic Superman t-shirt peeping through underneath! For the ultimate disguise – you will also need Clark Kent-esque glasses of course! Try a chunky black pair. Scout Costello is a great choice and will turn you into Clark Kent almost instantly!
It’s Halloween witches! Time to defy gravity
When it comes to dressing like a witch for Halloween, the Wicked Witch is the ultimate costume to go for! Multi award-winning hit musical Wicked has taken both Broadway and London’s West End by storm. With the much-anticipated movie adaption soon to appear on the silver screen, lots of fans are getting very excited. If you are one of them, celebrate in style and dress up as the beloved green character Elphaba. Grab yourself a classic Halloween witch costume or simply an all-black outfit with a traditional pointy witch’s hat to top it off. If you are feeling confident, why not paint your face a bright green and nail the look completely?
Give your costume the perfect magic touch with a pair of glasses! The character is often seen on stage in a simple metal oval frame. Meanwhile, in the new movie trailer, Elphaba sports a quirky pair of round oversized glasses with a bridge tilted to one side. We have selected our Eliza frame which has a unique geometric shape that we feel perfectly embodies Elphaba’s distinctive style.
Fuel your inner Maverick!
Possibly one of the easiest Halloween costumes to put together, a classic Top Gun outfit couldn’t be easier! The question is are you more of a Maverick or Goose? Or, maybe you see yourself as one of the more recent characters — Phoenix, Hangman, or Rooster — from the newest movie? Either way, it should be pretty easy to dress as one of these high-flying characters. All you need to do is get your hands on a green boiler suit, a few Top Gun iron-on patches and a traditional pair of Aviator sunglasses similar to our sleek Colby frame above.
If you are a huge fan of the first movie, you might also want to dress as the cool and confident Charlie Blackwood. To pull it off, you will need a classic bomber jacket, white blouse and pencil skirt. Accessories your outfit with a black clutch bag and of course, a traditional pair of pilot-style sunglasses. For the perfect couples Halloween costume, dress up together as Charlie Blackwood and Maverick!
It only gets stranger
Stanger Things is a binge-worthy Netflix favourite that has captivated audiences for several years. The final fifth season is set to be released next year as fans wait in anticipation! Set in the 1980s, the show is filled with classic retro fashion that has also started to appear on the fashion scene again since the show started.
One of our favourite characters, Barb has a vintage-style pair of 80s glasses that we absolutely love. Why not recreate the costume yourself this year? All you will need to look the part is a frilly check print blouse, a pair of light-blue jeans and your favourite comfy pumps. Add a touch of bright blue eyeshadow to your eyes and pop on some retro-style glasses to finish the look.
Be an antihero
The American crime drama that has everyone hooked, Breaking Bad has continued to be a popular show since its release in 2008. The main character Walter White has captivated audiences and is a favourite choice for both costume parties and conventions.
Walt transforms dramatically throughout the series from mild-mannered chemistry teacher to criminal mastermind. If you are a big fan of Breaking Bad, why not dress up as the man himself? Walt is recognised for his classic everyday dress sense. Pop on a long-sleeve shirt, golf jacket and chinos then grab yourself a pair of metal rectangular glasses, a black fedora hat and a fake goatee!
