40 Couples Halloween costume ideas to make you the stars of the evening

Couples Halloween costume ideas can be either brilliant or a total failure. To many, Halloween is one of the favorite holidays of the year and if you go to a party with your loved one, let’s see how you can be the perfect couple! Why adults love Halloween? Because they can go back to childhood and dress up in whatever way they like – from funny to sexy, scary, horrifying or silly, and no one will think you have gone mad if they saw you in a ridiculous and funny costume. When you think about it, the only thing that can be cooler than one Halloween costume is two Halloween costumes!

Popular Halloween costumes for couples

Couples that prefer traditional Halloween characters can choose costume of evil spirits, zombies, mummies or vampires.

Skeletons

The skeleton is one of the most popular Halloween looks. You can either buy costumes or achieve the look with makeup. You only need two colors – black and white. Plus, your makeup and your partner’s makeup will barely differ.

Vampires

Vampires are another popular choice among the numerous couples Halloween costume ideas. Dracula is the most famous vampire and one of the top choices for Halloween costumes. With some makeup, fake vampire teeth and fake blood, a black suit with a mantle and a beautiful dress for the girl, you can easily get the look. An option is to choose historical costumes and dress up as vampires from 17-18th century.

Witch and wizard

A witch is an all-time classic Halloween costume. People often imagine images of scary and angry old women with wrinkled faces and a huge warty nose but modern witches and wizards can choose a different approach. Couples Halloween costume ideas can be anything and you are limited only by your imagination. If you prefer a sexy look, choose a short, flirty dress, if you prefer a darker image, opt for Gothic style. The only accessory that you must not forget is the symbolic pointed hat!

Mummies

One of the simplest but most spectacular Halloween looks is the mummy. Makeup is not required and the costume is very easy to make by yourself. All you need is white (beige, if you want an ancient look) sheets and scissors. Cut slits into the fabric and tear the strips from the slits along the length of the sheet. To make the strips look really old, you can dye them with black tea in teabags. Just boil a pot of water, add in several teabags and the strips into the pot. After 30 minutes, get the strips out and let them dry.

Clowns

Clowns Halloween costumes for couples give you the opportunity to choose whether you want a funny and smiling image or a scary one. Whichever type of clowns you choose, do not forget the red nose!

Ghosts

Ghosts Halloween costumes also give you two options to choose from – you can either dress up as a funny ghost or as a spooky one. This is, perhaps, the easiest DIY Halloween costume. All you need is a white sheet and holes for the eyes.

Day of the dead

The Day of the dead is a Mexican holiday. Families and friends gather to remember their loved ones that are no longer with them. Women wear long, floral Mexican dresses with floral headpieces while men wear fine, smart clothing with a black hat. Of course, the makeup is a must!

Thieves

Thieves Halloween costumes are quite simple and very comfortable. A striped T-shirt and black trousers will help you create the look. A bag with dollar sign is the best accessory.

Angels or Devils

Angel and Devil, Black and White angels – there are many combinations that you can choose if you want to opt for the Good/Evil theme.
