Halloween is fast approaching, so I’m sure you have your costume picked out- oh? You don’t? Well, no offense, but you must be a master procrastinator… I really thought you were working on that… Well, I guess I can help. Let’s covper some last minute costume ideas for you and your friend group trio! Did I mention you have really bad timing?
So, you don’t have a costume picked out… AND you’re in a trio friend group? That makes this a little tricky, but thankfully, I am pretty good at working under pressure. Well, I guess you came to the right person! I’ll whip you up a list of costumes for 3x the charm, so you and your friends can be ready in time for the (objectively) best holiday! Don’t say I never did anything for you…
- The Powerpuff Girls
-
If you were a Cartoon Network kid like me, you are probably familiar with The Powerpuff Girls. One of my all-time favorite trios, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, take the first spot on this list! This costume is perfect for a trio looking to coordinate last minute, and has a lot of potential for inspiration! With easy color coordination, and a lot of room for flexibility (and bare essentials), here is the breakdown for each Powerpuff girl.
-
Blossom (the self-proclaimed leader): Pink dress or shirt/skirt combo, black belt, pink bow, white knee high socks, black loafer shoes, pink accessories of your choice!
-
Bubbles (the sensitive-sweet sister): Blue dress or shirt/skirt combo, black belt, pigtails with blue scrunchies, white knee high socks, black loafers, blue accessories of your choice!
-
Buttercup (the toughest sister): Green dress or shirt/skirt combo, black belt, no accessory or green headband, white knee high socks, black loafers, green accessories of your choice!

- Three Blind Mice
-
If you already have black sunglasses, you’re part of the way there for this one! Congrats! If you’re looking less for an individualized theme like with the Powerpuff girls, but a highly coordinated costume, the three blind mice route may be your go-to! With easy coordination and a cute, mousy twist, the three blind mice are perfect for a group looking to leave no doubt that their trio is, in fact, a trio. Here are two potential routes to take for the three blind mice costume.
- White theme: white dress or shirt/skirt combo, white gloves, white canes, white boots/heels, white mouse ears headband, white accessories of your choice!
- Black theme: black dress or shirt/skirt combo, black gloves, black canes, black boots/heels, black mouse ears headband, black tights, black accessories of your choice!

- The Garden Critters
-
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee… I guess you can make this three? Yes, you (well, I) sure can! While the classic saying may not typically fit a trio, since you’re already here, I might as well do the extra work. What you might call the “garden critters classic” is perfect for the bug-loving trio looking to find their last minute group costume.
- The butterfly: orange (monarch) or blue (blue morpho) top, black/jean skirt, black leggings or orange/blue thigh high socks, black boots/sneakers, coordinated headband, orange/blue/black accessories of your choice!
- The bee: yellow top, black/jean skirt, black/yellow striped leggings, black boots/sneakers, coordinated headband, yellow/black accessories of your choice!
- The ladybug: red top, black/jean skirt, polka dot leggings (black or white dots), black boots/sneakers, coordinated headband, red/black accessories of your choice!

- Rock, Paper, Scissors
-
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Costume! Not every group wants to be superheroes, mice, or bugs. If you are more of the crafty group, this one may be for you! Although a little more abstract and less… human (or animal/bug), the rock, paper, scissors costume is the perfect option for the crafty trio. So get your paper and scissors ready (and your rocks… I guess?), and get crafting!

Now that you have some ideas for your trio costume, I would probably text your group chat and get to work on that, if I were you. And pleeasseee don’t be picky, I spent a lot of time on this (and Pinterest) helping you out! Happy Halloween!
