Happy Halloween! None of my friends will match costumes with me, so I’ve decided to attempt to live vicariously through you, dear Her Campus readers. Here are some ideas of cute matching Halloween costumes for you and your pal, if you have one.

 

Important reminder: Blackface and any other form of cultural appropriation are never okay.

 

  • Tree and Lumberjack

    • One friend can utilize face paint and plastic leaves (or even camo, if you’re feeling fancy) and the other simply has to don a flannel shirt or two, which Chatham students usually have in abundance.

  • Rosie the Riveter and Amelia Earhart

    • Girl power, am I right?

  • One Singular Avocado

    • Cut in half, of course. The dominant friend gets the avocado pit.

  • Kim Possible and Shego

    • Or, if one friend is male-presenting, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable

  • Bob Ross and a Happy Little Tree (or, alternately, a Painting)

    • One friend portrays Bob Ross and the other friend can either be a Happy Little Tree or, if you have an artistic friend, they can be a painting!

    • You can paint the whole person or cut a face-sized hole in a canvas and just wear that like a little hat.

    • Make sure you use skin-safe paint if you go that route.

  • The Twins from The Shining

    • This is only an option if you two are able to speak in sync.

  • Netflix and Chill

    • This idea is very open to interpretation. You can go cozy by wearing oversized red and blue t-shirts or sexy by wearing red and blue dresses or anything in between. The world is your oyster!

  • Miss Columbia and Miss Philipines

    • If you subscribe to the gender policing that is pageantry, you can choose to portray the Iconic mixup at the 2015 Miss Universe pageant. Bonus points if you have a third friend to portray Steve Harvey. But remember: Blackface is never okay.

  • Ash and Pikachu

    • This pair costume would be the very best, like no one ever was.

  • The Tooth Fairy and a Tooth

    • I’m sure everyone would be smiling if they saw you two in this costume! (Disclaimer: I am not actually sure of this)

  • Donald Trump and Impeachment

    • Spirit Halloween sells big cardboard Trump masks, large enough to fit his inflated ego. The other friend can either dress up like a literal peach or dress up like Article 1 of the Constitution.
