Dark, seductive and enchanting: discover 30 beautiful buys inspired by Halloween on this week’s Style List. 

Halloween is nearly upon us, s0 this week’s Style List is full of gothic, ghostly designs celebrating the darkest nights of the year. 

Ragged-edge knits rub shoulders with serpent-embellished tops while The Vampire’s Wife brings grown-up goth and Solace London channel a bat’s silhouette into a gorgeously opulent mini dress. Elsewhere, we present beauty transformed by nature’s finest ingredients into soothing potions while green-hued glitter, blood-red lips and dark lashes take centre stage… 

As the shadows of winter grows longer, fill your home with candles, dried flower wreaths and delicious baked goods with gruesome twists. Make cocktails with mezcal and read eerie tales of dark suburbia… 

Feeling spooked yet? You will be. Discover 30 inspired buys for Halloween and into the winter ahead…
