Halloween Costume FAQs
While it makes for adorable and memorable photos, it’s not a requirement. Halloween is about personal expression, creativity, and, most importantly, having fun! If you and your partner have different ideas for what you’d like to dress up as for Halloween, that’s perfectly fine!
Complementary costumes can be just as engaging as matching ones. For example, if you love superheroes and the significant other is into villains, you can go as a hero-villain duo from the same comic universe.
Alternatively, you can add elements that tie your two costumes together, like coordinated colors or themes, while still having your own unique and individual costumes.
Remember, the most important thing is that you both feel comfortable and excited about your costumes. Whether you decide to match or not, the key is to have a great time celebrating together!
While the ‘best’ costume is highly subjective and depends on personal preferences, one crowd-pleaser that checks all these boxes is making costumes from movie and television characters like Ken and Barbie or Bonnie and Clyde. These types of costumes are budget-friendly and easy to put together with items you likely already have in your closet or can easily thrift. They make great last-minute costumes, too.
A good couple’s costume doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive to be effective. It’s all about creativity, teamwork, and, most importantly, having fun with your partner this Halloween!
