What to wear this Halloween in Belfast

It’s hard to be original on Halloween. In fact, it’s almost impossible to be novel without offending someone. But, never fear, as always we are here to suggest some legitimate alternatives.

The Iconic Landmarks

– Harland and Wolff Cranes –

Become Samson and Goliath, the Harland and Wolff cranes that have been towering over Belfast since 1969.These two boys rocked it last year in their self-made H&W crane outfit. Top marks for effort – high five well deserved. Though fail on chances of being able to pull. How do you dance in that thing?

– The Big Fish –

You know the big blue fish along the River Lagan you see? Why not become it?

Option a). Simply replicate what this little girl has done, but change the shape of the fish to a salmon and match the scale pattern with the Big Fish

Option b). Handy with the sewing machine or have granny’s that will do the job, get material from any craft shop and sew on scales.

The Famous People

– May McFettridge –

Become Northern Ireland’s own Queen of comedy, May McFettridge. Botanic has a number of charity shops – go in and raid them of their best granny clothes and knitted woolly hats. You’ll be the star of the show in no time. Remember, this outfit is appropriate for men and women, since May is really John.

Remember to spread a wee bit of good looking dust just before you go out for the final touches for this costume.

– Conor McGregor –

He may be Dublin born but he’s just as loved in Belfast than he is in Cork. If you’re fortunate enough to have a friend that’s good with a marker and have a body fit enough to go topless in October, then McGregor is the man for you.

This lad has the detail down to the pack.

Our Lifestyle

– Buckfast –

Become the good stuff and paint yourself green – the colour of true happiness to many.

She was for sure the biggest magnet of the night. #10outof10

– A Fry –

If the saying was true that you are what you eat then I am a sausage, you’re are a sausage, we are all a sausage. Spar’s £1 sausage bap is a valid reason why we are one. Thankfully I do not resemble a sausage, but you could this Halloween. Become the iconic meal for us – the big fry up. You never know, it could be good bate for pulling in the club for those drunk and hungry. I hope not though; things could get awkward quickly.
