It’s that time of year to start planning the costumes for Halloweekend! This article has some of my favorite trendy costumes I’ve seen, as well as costumes I have done myself and am still obsessed with. Everything from solo costumes to girls’ group and couples costumes, this article will be the Halloween costume inspo you need. 

Couples costumes: 

Firefighter and Dalmatian – This one is so adorable and pretty easy to put together. It is easily recognizable and comfortable. 

Deer and Hunter – This one is fun and not super popular. Taking pictures for this one would be super fun, and it is comfortable. 

Shark boy and Lava girl – This one is a classic and super nostalgic. Colorful and easily recognized. 

Mermaid and Captain-  This one is so fun and not super popular.  

Boo and Sully-  I did this one a couple of years ago, and it was so easy to put together, just a pink shirt and purple leggings, and a Sully onesie from Amazon. It was very comfortable and everyone knew the characters. 

Solo costumes:
Genie – Super fun and sparkly, unique, and can be colorful and comfortable. 

Diet Coke – Such a fun, unique costume for all the Diet Coke girls.

Barbie – Perfect solo costume for blondes, you can choose any type of Barbie from any of the Barbie collections.  

Chipotle Burrito – Super unique! Who doesn’t love chipotle. 

Hannah Montana – Super fun costume, can make it super sparkly and fun. Everyone can recognize this one. 

Group costumes: 

Princesses –  I did this last year with a group of my girlfriends, and so perfect for the group; there is a princess for everyone. 

Wizard of Oz –  This one is perfect for a group of 4 – 6, Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion, Glinda, and the Wicked Witch. It’s the perfect costume for each person to show a little personality. 

Fairies –  I  did this one last year with my roommates, and it was perfect. There is a color for everyone, and it’s super cute and coordinated.

Cheetahs –  This one is perfect for groups; there can be as many people as you want, and everyone can wear something a little different.

Superheroes – This one is fun and shows a little personality for each person; there are lots of superheroes for everyone.
