5 Costumes For You And Your Bestie This Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Montclair chapter.

Halloween is the one day a year where you can dress up as whoever you want. One of the most important parts of Halloween is finding the perfect costume, and what’s better than dressing up by yourself? Dressing up with your friend, too! If you’re thinking of dressing up with your friend this Halloween but have no clue what you want to be, don’t sweat it. Below are five costumes for you and your friend with attached links so you don’t have to do the research!

  1. Angel and Devil

An angel and devil costume is very popular, but that’s because it’s a super cute and easy costume! Not only is this great for a partner duo, but if you lose each other at some point in the night, it’s a great solo costume, too! There are so many routes you can take for both of these costumes. You can be the classic white angel and red devil, a dark angel and black devil, and so many other color schemes that go with this costume. If you want to keep this costume DIY, all you need is a white dress or a top/bodysuit and a white skirt/pants, and (of course) white angel wings and a halo. If you choose to be the devil, you would need a red dress or red top/bodysuit, a red skirt/pants and red devil wings and horns. If you want to just order your costume online, here are some options for you.

  1. Cher and Dionne from “Clueless”

This best friend costume is one of my personal favorites. Even if you haven’t watched “Clueless,” that’s totally okay because the costumes are so nice anyways! These costumes are also really easy to get. The plaid skirts you can buy in probably any store you go to in the mall. Forever 21 and Windsor at Willowbrook Mall, NJ has had these types of skirts on display, and a bunch of other stores have them out during Halloween time. If you want to take the online ordering route, you can order from Amazon also.

  1. Woody and Buzz Lightyear

What’s a better best friend costume than one of the most famous best friend duos? This pair makes for an insanely cute costume, and it’s not hard to find either! There are a bunch of different routes you can take for this costume, too. You can go full-out and get a cowboy costume and a space costume, or you can keep it more casual and just wear a flannel for Woody or a shirt for Buzz Lightyear. However you decide to style Buzz and Woody, this is a great choice for Halloween.

  1. Daphne and Velma 

If you and your friend are into fighting crimes, the duo from Mystery Inc. is perfect for you. If you want to make these costumes DIY, here are some tips for you. For Daphne, all you need is a purple dress and a green scarf that you can wrap around your neck. You can also rock a purple headband and heels, too, if that’s your style. For Velma, you need an orange sweater/bodysuit and a red skirt. You can’t forget about Velma’s iconic glasses either. You don’t need the wig for either costume, but you can always add that extra touch. If you want to go all out this Halloween and buy your costumes, here are some links where you can find them.

  1. Cosmo and Wanda

This duo from “Fairly Odd Parents” makes an adorable Halloween costume. This pink and green pair makes it easy for a DIY costume also. All you would need is a pink or green dress and gold crowns and wands to top it off. If you want to make it look a little more real, you can get pink and green wigs also. This costume is a little easier to make yourself than to find at a store, but attached are links that you could possibly choose to wear.
