The best couples costumes make people smile the second you walk in. They are instantly recognisable, a little bit funny, and easy enough that you can enjoy the party instead of fixing your outfit all night.
Here are six creative couples Halloween costumes to inspire you, from a prom night classic to a fashion power duo.
Friends fans will spot this one straight away. He wears a curly wig, a moustache and a pastel striped shirt. She wears a big blue satin dress with puff sleeves.
Tip: Look in charity shops for the dress. The sleeves do all the work.
Two fashion icons, one very chic costume. He wears a white ponytail wig, a high white collar, a black suit and dark sunglasses. She wears a sleek bob with a fringe, sunglasses and a bold green jacket.
Tip: Sunglasses and fingerless gloves make the look. If you already own black tailoring, you are nearly there.
The finale look never goes out of style. She wears a black off the shoulder top, leather look trousers, red lips and big curls. He wears a leather jacket, a white tee, sunglasses and slicked back hair.
Tip: Perfect for a last minute costume, because most of it is probably already in your wardrobe.
Modern, playful and very easy to recognise. He wears a red number 87 jersey with a taped name label. She wears a silver sequin dress, sparkly boots and a scrunchie on her wrist.
Tip: The taped name label is a cheap, clever detail that tells everyone exactly who you are.
A cartoon classic with a stylish twist. He wears an orange ascot, a white shirt and a navy jacket. She wears a purple dress, a green scarf and a purple headband with long red hair.
Tip: The ascot and the scarf are the pieces people recognise first, so start there. Add a Scooby snack for extra points.
Pure 1970s glamour. He wears a white flared suit, a black open collar shirt, a gold medallion and a moustache. She wears long straight black hair and a sparkly beaded fringe outfit with silver platform shoes.
Tip: Great hair and flared trousers do most of the work. Keep everything shiny.
One that both people are happy to wear and that guests recognise within seconds.
Yes. Charity shops, wigs and clothes you already own cover most of these looks.
Two to three weeks ahead gives you time to find the key pieces.
