Finding The Perfect Couple Halloween Costumes

by Adrianna Noton

Dressing up at Halloween is great fun. You can wear all sorts of entertaining Halloween costumes for the festivities, whether you are going to a party or staying in to greet trick or treaters at the door. If you and your partner are going to a party, here are some great ideas for costumes for couples.

Go to the hoe-down in a costume that will fit right in. Get you and your partner gussied up in matching cowboy and cowgirl costumes. Throw on a pair of dark pants, a fancy western shirt complete with fringes, sling a holster around your hips, toss some fake six shooters in for good measure, and pull your boots up. Now top that look with a cowboy hat and you will be able to rope just about anything you want to.

Fairy tale figures are common at parties and for dress up. It is easy for some women to transform their fancy dresses into something that looks like it came out of the stories, making it appear as if they were Snow White, Cinderella or even Red Riding Hood. Men who go in costume as a partner to their fairy tale spouse may want to dress up as a knight or prince or even as the Big Bad Wolf.

Superheros are always popular as costumes for couples. You and your spouse can go as dynamic crime fighting duos such as Batman and Batgirl, Wonderwoman and Superman or maybe even Mr. Incredible and Elastagirl.

Many couples like to play the roles of angels and devils. It allows them to play at being something they are not, and sometimes even something they might be. Dressing up like this can be a lot of fun for party-goers, and the costumes are easy to put together. A white robe with white wings and a halo are often enough to carry off the angel costume. For the devil, look for a red bodysuit or dress (depending on who is playing that role) with a red pitch fork and tail to make this classic costume.

Witches and wizards are common enough when it comes to couple Costumes. A long, flowing black gown, with a sorcerer’s hat, wand and some creepy accessories are all it takes to complete the look. For those who do not have flowing locks, a long haired black wig can help to make this costume more realistic. Paint your nails black or sparkly colors and use black face paints to accentuate your eyes and lips.

Some people like the characters from their favorite animated series so much that they dress up as their beloved couples. You can go as classic cartoon couples like the Jetsons, the Flintstones, or the Simpsons for some animated fun.

Many couples like to play off of the fascination with uniforms. A lot of women and men admit to fantasizing about a sexy person in uniform. Have fun at the party (and afterwards) when you dress up in your matching police, fire fighter, sailor, nurse or doctor uniform. Some other popular uniforms include those for a french maid, cheerleader, football player or indeed any athlete.
