With Hallowe’en just a shiver away, there’s always the handful of us who haven’t planned a costume to Heidi Klum-like detail. Usually my failsafe method is to add the adjective ‘slutty’ to an unrelated noun. Case in point, last year I went as a slutty ringleader aka a man sans pants. Picture me wearing an evening tailcoat, all the other associated finery including patent leather shoes and no trousers. Fortunately, I had a riding crop in tow to ward off any attackers on the journey from the taxi (replete with a shocked taxi driver) and the venue. Of course, this last-minute costume was assembled with what resources I found at eleven o’clock on Hallowe’en evening; just don’t ask me where the riding crop came from.
This year I cannot say that I’m any more prepared, however, one costume caught my eye: a 600 thread count ghost costume. The Boo Box from Partners & Spade is the perfect cop-out outfit for those who don’t want to damage their Yves Delorme sheets by cutting eye holes in them. At only $200—a fraction of the price of a similar thread count sheet set—it’s perfect for those who are acquainted with luxury, even when haunting houses.

Admittedly, I did cut eye holes out of one of my sheets one Hollowe’en. The sheet was ‘fresh’ from my bed, which, in summary, was not very fresh at all. We’re all grateful the event did not feature any black lights.
