Halloween shoes for adults
Who said Halloween's just for kids? It's one of the best nights of the year, complete with fancy dress parties and cosy autumn festivities. Carving pumpkins is even more fun when you're old enough to appreciate the novelty of making pumpkin soup with the leftovers.
Need some inspo? A wicked witch, black cat or vicious vampire are our fail-safe outfits. Take a look at our favourite shoes for Halloween costumes.
Lilley Vicky Womens Black Faux Suede Court Shoe
Costume idea: Black cat
This Lilley black court shoe is the perfect addition to your cat costume. It keeps things classy and understated, but oozes sophistication and demure. The patent sheen adds to the glossy black cat look, while not distracting too much from the whiskers and tail. Oh, and did we mention it has a kitten heel? It couldn't be more perfect. Check out our range of black court shoes.

Beckett Basil Mens Black Flat Lace Up Shoe
Costume idea: Vampire
Ready to dress up like a suave vampire? These black lace-up shoes are just the right level of understated yet expensive-looking.

Lilley Milan Womens Black High Leg Heeled Boot
Costume idea: Pirate
These Lilley knee high boots deserve their own moment — Halloween shoes or not. Pair with any little black dress and a mask and you're good to go — but why not make them the star of the outfit? Go for a pirate costume with a ruffled shirt, lots of gold jewellery and a mini skirt or shorts to show off the boots.

Dressing up as a witch is the perfect excuse to wear some sleek and shiny heels. These Lilley patent court shoes are sure to make a statement at your Halloween bash, whether it's a party in the office or a spooky dinner gathering with friends. Pair the patent finish Halloween witch shoes with an excess of silver jewellery, or even a silver hat, to set off the look.
Urban Territory Bill Men's Black Lace Up Boot
Costume idea: Frankenstein's Monster
Create your own version of one of the most recognisable monsters ever. Pair these robust and durable Urban Territory boots with a dark t-shirt and blazer at least two sizes too small. Pick up some green makeup and neck bolts from a costume shop and you've got a suitably horrifying look.
Lilley Vivien Women's Black T-Bar Court Shoe
Costume idea: Dark fairy
As morbid as it sounds, a dead fairy is a seriously killer Halloween costume. Match these dazzling Lilley diamante heels with a black dress or tutu with fishnet tights. Go heavy with the eyes and pop on your best dark fairy expression and you're good to go haunting (figuratively speaking).
