Costume panic? We got you. 🎃🧡
Halloween is creeping closer, Brisbane — and at Outside The Box, we have absolutely no intention of doing spooky season the ordinary way. Think a little gothic glamour, a little retro fabulousness, a little pirate mischief and a whole lot of wonderfully unexpected personality.
Whether your Halloween alter ego is a mysterious midnight creature, a dashing pirate, a roaring-twenties showstopper or something completely impossible to categorise, our New Farm costume corner is here to help you dress the part.
Our Halloween philosophy? Scary is good. Boring is not. ⚡
🕸️ Halloween, but make it fashion.
Forget the same costume you've worn to three different parties. Halloween is an excellent excuse to get creative — and you don't need to build a complicated outfit from scratch to make an impression. Sometimes a dramatic cape, distinctive mask, statement accessory or playful dress-up set does the heavy lifting.
At OTB, we've curated costumes and accessories with one thing in mind: turning a little imagination into a look with character. You'll find costume sets alongside quirky finishing touches, so you can mix, match and make the outfit your own.

🎭 Which Halloween character are you?
🐈⬛ 1. The spooky-cute scene-stealer
Dark, adorable and just the right amount of mischievous. Black-cat energy is a Halloween classic for a reason: it's playful, versatile and perfect for those who prefer their spooky side with a wink.
Start with our Black Cat Costume Set, or build a look around a dramatic black outfit and carefully chosen accessories. Going a little darker? Our Vampire Teeth and Black Masquerade Mask can take a simple outfit straight into after-dark territory.
OTB styling idea: choose one strong statement piece, then let the rest of the outfit support it. Less costume clutter, more main-character energy.
🏴☠️ 2. The pirate with very good taste
Adventure? Drama? A little theatrical confidence? Excellent. Pirate-inspired outfits are made for people who enjoy making an entrance.
Explore the Deluxe Pirate Costume Set for a characterful starting point, then personalise it with accessories you already own. It's the kind of look that works particularly well for group costumes, themed parties and anyone who believes Halloween deserves a touch of ridiculous grandeur.
⚔️ 3. The fantasy hero (or the villain)
Some people dress for the party. Others arrive with a whole backstory. If you fall into the second category, welcome to the fantasy department.
Our Knight Costume makes a bold foundation for medieval-inspired dress-up. Go noble hero, mysterious warrior or a character invented entirely by you — that's the beauty of thinking Outside The Box.
🪩 4. The time-travelling fashion icon
Not every Halloween look needs to be traditionally scary. Sometimes the most memorable costume in the room is pure vintage attitude.
Channel roaring-twenties sparkle with the 1920s Black Dress-Up Set, or embrace unapologetic colour with our Green 80s Dress-Up. Think theatrical silhouettes, statement styling and the kind of confidence that doesn't ask permission.
OTB styling idea: keep the theme recognisable, then add one unexpected modern accessory. Halloween should feel like your take on a character — not a photocopy.
✨ The secret? It's all in the accessories.
There are plenty of ways to get costume-ready without reinventing your entire wardrobe. A masquerade mask can add instant intrigue. A pair of characterful gloves makes an outfit feel considered. A statement necklace, gothic detail or clever prop can pull everything together.
Shopping by theme rather than hunting for one perfect ready-made outfit lets you work with what you already have — a more creative and often more affordable approach to Halloween dressing.
That's what we love about OTB: not just buying a costume, but finding the wonderfully weird detail that makes it yours.
🧡 Make a little New Farm adventure of it.
Halloween shopping doesn't need to feel like a last-minute supermarket mission. Pop into Outside The Box in New Farm, Brisbane and explore our mix of costume finds, artistic gifts, curious accessories and creative surprises.
While you're here, make time for a coffee and a look around our café and retail space. One minute you're finding the perfect pair of costume accessories; the next, you've discovered a quirky gift you didn't know you needed. Very OTB. Very dangerous for your wish list.
Our Halloween-inspired window display is also getting into the spirit — a little spooky, a little theatrical and completely Outside The Box.
⏳ Last-minute costume? Don't leave it until the final scream.
Some of our costume pieces are available in very limited quantities, and availability, sizes and styles may change as Halloween approaches. If you spot a look you love, don't assume it'll still be waiting for you next week.
You can explore the collection online before visiting, or pop in and discover the possibilities in person. Our range includes individual accessories as well as selected costume sets, so please check each listing for exactly what's included.
🎃 Your Halloween era starts here.
Costume panic? Consider it handled. Your look can be spooky, glam, dramatic, unexpected, or delightfully ridiculous — just make it yours.
