Pressed for time? Not keen on battling the fancy dress aisle? Don’t worry - your. Beaux Desert basics already have Halloween magic built in.
Made from breathable, organic cotton, our signature sets and sleepsuits are gentle on delicate skin, kind to the planet, and perfect for warm-weather wear (we see you, Dubai heat). And best of all? They're comfy enough to wear all day long - even for naptime.
Here are 3 easy, last-minute Halloween costumes you can whip up at home with a little imagination and a lot of softness:
1. The Mini Ninja Turtle
What you’ll need:
- Beaux Desert Sage Ribbed Sleepsuit
- A brown or green paper plate (for the shell)
- A ribbon or fabric strip (as a coloured mask)
-
Optional: A wooden spoon for makeshift ninja gear
How to make it:
Tape string to the paper plate and strap it on like a backpack. Tie the fabric strip around your child’s eyes (or forehead for babies), and you’ve got a soft, comfy, shell-ready ninja.
Why we love it:
No plastic suits, no itchy seams - just breathable organic cotton and a costume that lets little ones move, play, and nap comfortably. (Just remove accessories for safe sleep.)
2. The Classic Superhero
What you’ll need:
- Beaux Desert Midnight Grey Matching Set
- A pillowcase or tea towel (as a cape)
- Paper or felt cut-outs (stars, lightning bolts, initials)
How to make it:
Tie the cape loosely around the shoulders, add bold paper cut-outs with tape or safety pins, and let the zooming begin! For bonus flair, make simple wristbands or a mask from felt or paper.
Why we love it:
Perfect for high-energy little heroes - and unlike shop-bought costumes, it won't cause overheating or skin irritation in hot weather.
3. Captain America (The Soft Edition)
What you’ll need:
- Beaux Desert Moonlight Blue Matching Set
- DIY cardboard shield
- Optional: Add a paper star badgeHow to make it:
Tape string to the cardboard shield and strap it on like a backpack. Cut a star from paper or felt and tape or pin it to the chest of the shirt.
Why we love it:
Soft, simple, and ready for action — this breathable set keeps your little hero cool and comfy while they save the day. No stiff fabrics, no costume drama — just organic cotton they’ll want to wear long after Halloween is over.
Why Dress Sustainably for Halloween?
Each year, Halloween costumes generate over 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste — most worn only once.
Let’s be real: scratchy polyester + 30°C heat = no fun.
By building costumes from high-quality, breathable basics, you're saying no to fast fashion and yes to:
✔ Comfort (even in warm climates)
✔ Less waste
✔ More imaginative play
✔ Outfits they'll actually wear again
Costumes That Go Beyond October
Every costume idea here starts with a Beaux Desert basic — pieces designed to last through nursery days, nap times, and everything in between. These aren't just costumes. They're wardrobe staples you’ll reach for all year long.
