Nothing says autumn quite like bonfire night but, what actually is bonfire night and why do we celebrate it?

Guy Fawkes day, also called bonfire night is a British observance which is celebrated on November 5th.

The reason we do it is because it’s the anniversary of a failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament – the gunpowder plot of 1605.

We won’t go too far into the deets but essentially there would be a dummy man on the top of any bonfire which represents Guy Fawkes.

Give him a quick Google if you want to know more!

In terms of bonfire night traditions, it’s all about heading outside so keeping cosy is essential!

So, how to dress for bonfire night?

Lots of layering, think oversized coats, snug scarves, gloves and beanies.

Autumnal colours are perfect for Guy Fawkes night too.

Here are five firework-friendly outfits that’ll have your bonfire night outfit covered.
