Halloween: Easy Costume Ideas for Couples

By Stacy Wells — October 21, 2012

Want easy costume ideas for couples to wear to your next Halloween party? Have we got some treats (and tricks) for you! DIY or purchased, best of all these are ideas your guy will actually WEAR!

Easy Costume Ideas for Couples: Just Jeans

Babe, you wear jeans… just jeans! Here’s the start to any great Halloween costume conversation. Costumes where he just needs to throw on his old Levi’s = a winner EVERY time! Amish ladies ~ find something long in gray, black or blue (find long skirts everywhere this fall). Amish men ~ all they need are blue or black jeans with a white or blue shirt (and beards, hats and suspenders… if you can convince him). Country, hillbilly, cowboy ~ CUTE country-girl dresses, boots, hats or girly pigtails with white shirts, plaid, or flannel. Painters ~ pull out those paint splattered pants and carry a brush…EASY! Winter & Summer works well no matter who is summer and who is winter. What’s quicker than jeans and a T-shirt? That’s where we find Waldo - hat optional!

Easy Costume Ideas for Couples: Hot for You, Easy for Him

Babe, I’ll be wearing something sexy. Another great way to start a costume convo. If a man could be anyone for a night who would he be? Hugh Hefner! Have him pull on his bathrobe, a pair of pants and some slippers. Turn some tricks as his HOT bunny (it IS Halloween, after all). Love a man in uniform? How about the General & Rosie the Riveter ~ one hot couple! Got a shagalicious spouse? Yeah, baby! (Austin Powers, Sexy Sixty)

Easy Costume Ideas for Couples: Half Homemade

Babe, it’s no work for you. Your costume is comfortable. We won’t be spending a lot on these costumes. DIY costumes CAN be quick, easy and less than $10…Pick up two pig noses and wrap a blanket around yourself. Pick up some paint coveralls ($9) for a variety of options – add ears for polar bears, goggles for snow suits, or a scarf & a few buttons for snowmen. The jellyfish costume is unusual but easy. Wear white and carry an umbrella with bubble wrap and iridescent cellophane stringing down. He’ll be comfy cozy as a farmer and you’ll be his favorite farm girl to meet in the hay loft. Papa Bear wants Goldilocks in his bed this Halloween! Ken can wear anything from swimwear to tux with his hot Barbie on his arm.
