Hunter and Deer
If your boy toy doesn’t want to dress up then odds are this costume is perfect for you both. This look is also easy to create with the clothing that you already own. The guy just has to wear hunting clothes (camo, camo, and camo) and the girl just has to wear brown, antlers, and preferably face make-up to truly look like a doe.
Criminal and Cop
This costume can be really fun, especially for a girl who likes to take charge. This costume much easier to purchase than it is to recreate. Cop outfits for girls are very easy to find on the internet and are often very cute! For guys is also easy to wear either find a striped black shirt or a orange jumpsuit online to look like a criminal.
The Purge
Dressing as men and women participating in the Purge for Halloween has been a growing trend for the past couple of years. It is surely coming back this year and one of the reasons why is because it looks so put together without actually being hard to pull off. While suites are preferred for the men, they can wear anything as long as they have a Purge mask. Women are also able to wear anything but usually wear dresses and heels with a Purge mask. To go over the top just make sure to create rips and add fake blood stains to any of your articles of clothing.
Danny and Sandy
If you were born to hand jive this costume might be the one that you want. This is a favorite for couples when it comes to Halloween. Take you and your significant other back to the 1950s by dressing up as Danny and Sandy from Grease. To pull off Danny Zuko one needs black pants, a white t-shirt, a leather jacket, and of course slicked back hair. For Sandy Olsson a leather short sleeved jumpsuit would work best with heels, curled hair, and her authentic red lips. Done right, you’ll go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong.
Veronica and Archie
Love Riverdale? Riverdale costumes are extremely popular this year and if you have seen the show, you can probably imagine why. Archie is easy to recreate because he really just needs jeans, a white t-shirt, and a varsity jacket. To be Veronica wear a vintage style dress, a pear necklace, and a pair of heals. The look is not complete without a dark rep lip color. If it’s cold you can also wear a classic dress cape like Veronica pulled of several times in Season 1 of Riverdale.
Jughead and Betty
This is the another option if you love Riverdale. If this is your favorite pairing in Riverdale then it will be a blast recreating this look with your significant other. To be Jughead, all you do it wear a lot of black. By wearing black combat boots, black jeans, a black leather jacket, and a grey or black beanie no one will question who you are. To be Betty you will need skinny jeans, a pink floral blouse, a paint cardigan, and flats. To finish off the Betty Cooper look make sure your hair is in mid-back ponytail.
Bugs and Lola
For this costume you pretty much have to buy the main article of the costume online. To be Bugs and Lola from Space Jam basically means wearing their basketball uniform and then of course adding their ears. This is one of the easiest to do but will require opening up your computer and scrolling through Amazon. The good news is that you only really need to buy the jerseys and can just wear white athletic shorts on the bottom!
Cosmo and Wanda
This is for the couple who really wants to go out for their Halloween costume. For Cosmo wear black pants, a white button up shirt, a tie, and green hair. For Wanda wear black pants, a yellow shirt, and pink hair. The look will be complete by each wearing a golden crown and star wands!
Daisy and Gatsby
Put yourself back in the ’20s by dressing up as the iconic couple Daisy and Gatsby. It’s very simple to do because they wore so many different outfits during the well known movie The Great Gatsby, all of which you can easily recreate. As long as you dress up like people did when they were partying in the ’20s, you will pass as the two lovers.
Pebbles and Bam-Bam
Looking to go back to prehistoric times? Pebbles and Bam-Bam is a comical costume that can be perfect for that energetic pair out there. Bam-Bam needs an orange cave skirt with black triangles on it. Pebbles needs a green cave dress with black triangles on it and a bone for her hair. This pair has been perfect since prehistoric times so if you have dreamed about being apart of the Flintstones family, try this costume out!
Alice and the Rabbit
You may be thinking to yourself, why not Alice and the Mad Hatter right? That’s exactly the point! Alice and the Mad Hatter has been done time and time again. However, Alice and Rabbit have been thought about less frequently as a couple costume making it perfect to replicate. It is also ironic because usually it is thought that girls go as bunnies for Halloween. The Rabbit can wear any form fitting pants with a button up shirt, bow-tie, bunny ears, and needs a giant watch which will need to be home made. Then, Alice can wear a short blue dress with a white serving apron, black shoes, tall white socks, and a black bow.
Tinker Bell and Peter Pan
If you want to fly away to Netherlands, this is the perfect costume for you. Both of these costumes can be recreated but if you want to really nail this look then you may want to buy the costumes. With lots of green and just a little bit of pixie dust, you’ll be ready to slay Halloweekend.
Sully and Boo
For all you Disney fans out there this might just be the costume to knock off your bucket list this year. For Sully just buy a blue shirt and add purple patches all around it. For Boo just wear a pink shirt, purple tights, white shoes, and pigtails!
Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski
If you’re a 90’s kid then you probably know exactly who this dynamic duo is. When Saved By the Bell was on TV everyone dreamed of having the relationship Zach and Kelly had. The easiest way to really look like Zach is to wear a striped t-shirt with jeans and to then carry around a huge, old cell phone. To replicate Kelly’s look wear a floral pencil skirt, a white cropped top, and a over-sized denim jacket.
Max and Roxana
True Disney fans will know of these to characters even though A Goofy Movie came out in 2000. It may seem overwhelming to recreate two cartoon dogs but it is a lot easier than it seems. To be Max, wear a long black t-shirt, a short-sleeved red hoodie, and then jeans. To be Roxana wear a teal t-shirt and jean shorts. Then you will both need noses and Max will need long black ears.
Angel and Devil
This is always a classic costume because it is the authentic contrast for Halloween. To dress as the Devil just wear all red, evil horns, and a devil tail. For the Angel wear all white with white wings and a white halo.
Dalmatian and Firefighter
This is a fun take on an everyday pairing in real life. It’s also incredibly easy! To be a fighter fighter just wear a red shirt with a fire fighter hat. To be a Dalmatian where a white shirt with black dots and white ears with black stops. Don’t forget to paint your face with black spots and a little nose!
Lilo and Stitch
Going back to your Disney side, this costume is a fun take on the classic movie. The boy just has to wear blue and then anything to resemble Stitch’s ears/face. The girl can wear either, the authentic Lilo dress, which is a red dress with white leaves. She can also wear a red shirt with a grass skirt, and grass wrist, ankle, and head cuffs.
Shaggy and Scooby
Jinkies, it’s not mystery that this costume has to be one of the easiest and most iconic pairing out there. Shaggy just needs his classic long olive green t-shirt with khaki pants. For Scooby, all you need is brown clothes, brown ears, a painted on dog nose, and his authentic collar.
Ash and Pikachu
Pika pika chuuuuuuuuu. If you choose this custom you might just catch all eyes on you. This is a great pair to try out especially because it’s usually one guys love. To dress up as Ash just make sure to wear a white shirt and then recreate his hat by making sure it has the green L like symbol on the front. For Pikachu just wear yellow with Pikachu ears and red circles on your cheeks.
The Fox and The Hound
The best part about this costume idea is that people rarely recreate it, so you’ll be sure to stand out. The Fox and the Hound is perfect for any couple especially because it is not gender specific. Both of the characters can be dolled up to look completely adorable! It’s also pretty simple because the amount of effort you would like to put into the costume can vary. The Fox just requires brownish red clothes, fox ears, and a fox tail. The Hound requires brown clothes, long dog hears, and possibly some face make-up to create a nose.
Jim and Pam
If you ever need a good laugh and haven’t seen The Office then I highly recommend turning it on. Jim and Pam are the “it” couple of the show so fans of the show adore them. It’s also super easy to be them because they pretty much just wear office clothes. For Jim, reach for a button up shirt, a tie, and khaki pants. For Pam, throw on a khaki skirt, a button up blouse, and a cardigan. Make a name tag for each of you and there is no mistaking who you two are.
