Halloween isn’t all about the tricks and the treats anymore. With countless Halloween parties and costume contests that happen each fall, finding a clever and cute costume is a big priority. If you are planning on dressing up with your best friend or significant other this year, we’ve got you covered with all the trendiest couple costume ideas. These duo costumes will have you and your friends looking fa-BOO-lous for Halloween!
Woodland Creatures: Ever since the fairycore aesthetic went viral, people have been dressing up like various woodland creatures on an everyday basis. However, if you have been apprehensive to experiment with this style, Halloween would be the best time to try it out. A fairy and an elf make an adorably sweet costume for best friends or a couple! All you need is some earth toned clothes, a pair of wings, and elf ears to complete the looks.
Cowgirls: Yee-haw! Dressing up like a cowgirl/cowboy is a really easy costume to pull together if you’re short on time. Western-inspired pieces are trending at the moment, so they won’t be hard to find. Color coordinate your look with your partner, and get ready to win best in show!
Romeo & Juliet: A classic love story with a morbid twist. This costume is perfect for Halloween because of how dark the fate of these star crossed lovers is. Renaissance outfits can be found at local flea markets, online resale shops, or there are local stores you can rent Renaissance costumes from. If you want to add even more drama, you can never go wrong with fake blood on Halloween.
Rachel & Monica: What better way to dress up with your bestie than going as an iconic duo from a popular show? Rachel and Monica from Friends is just one example, but there are so many duos you could choose from. All you need to be Rachel and Monica is a couple of 90s inspired fits, so it’s a great last minute costume!
Dorothy & Tin Man: This one is another classic, but you truly can’t go wrong with this costume. The other couples will envy the timelessness of your Wizard of Oz costume. And the best part about this one is that it can easily be turned into a group costume. You can get the scarecrow, the cowardly lion, and the wicked witch of the west all in on it too. The more the scarier!
Monster High Dolls: This costume is perfect if you have a group of friends you want to dress up with. Monster High is basically a spooky twist on Bratz Dolls, so it’s perfect for Halloween. All you need are some goth outfit staples, a couple bright pops of color, and fun makeup. Your fits will be #squadghouls!
