Edinburgh’s Best Dressed: Halloween 2021 edition
There’s nothing scarier than the thought of trying to top these costumes next year
Mila GreshamThis weekend was officially that time of the year when you desperately pull out whatever you have in your wardrobe, pay for next day shipping on that pink cowboy hat in your Amazon basket and put together the most iconic outfit of 2021.
Halloween is, quite frankly, the best.
We asked you over on Instagram to send us pics of your Halloween costumes this year, and let’s just say you really brought your costume game to the table.
