80 Creative Couples Halloween Costumes You Can Buy or DIY Together
You and your boo can don a scary or funny duo costume this Halloween.
Halloween may be months away, but if you're serious about spooky season, it's never too early to begin brainstorming costume ideas. Especially when planning couples costumes — meaning you and your partner will need to agree on a Halloween costume idea that suits both of your personalities — getting a head start ensures you'll have plenty of time to create the perfect look for October 31. Our list of the best couples Halloween costumes has all of the inspiration you need, whether you're a duo known for your scary couple Halloween costumes, you want to emulate one of the hottest celebrity couples of 2023, or you're looking for the best pop culture costumes for pairs. There are Disney couples costumes, punny costumes, plus-size couple costumes, and costumes that can be added to for trios or larger groups.
Many of these costumes can be purchased online as a complete set, so you can simply order now and put them aside until the fall. If you enjoy the creative process of making your own costumes (date night, anyone?), these ideas are a great jumping off point. We've included links so you can shop for some of the basic materials online, then get crafty at home to really make these outfits your own.
If you plan to celebrate Halloween all weekend long, you might need more than one costume on hand. For additional ideas, check out our roundups of the best Halloween costume ideas for women, work-appropriate Halloween costumes, plus-size costumes, and family Halloween costumes.
