If You’re Looking for the Whole Family
If you’re the sort of couple that wants to match with your kiddo, this costume set is going to tickle your funny bone. These skeleton onesies are super comfy, super cool, and the perfect option for a matching family costume or just for a spooky night on the sofa all together.
If You’re the Ultimate Duo
There’s nothing quite as perfectly paired as peanut butter and jelly costume in this writer’s humble opinion. Sure, it’s not the spookiest or the most exciting, but it is a dang classic and one that’s sure to look great on just about anyone. Who couldn’t rock a piece of bread, I ask?
If You’re Feeling Prehistoric
Dinos are in and they’re just about the coolest. If you’re boy parents or you’re just into Dino’s yourselves, or maybe you’re archeologists, this couple’s costume is for you. Another onesie, so another score for comfort, and the shape really lends itself to getting the ultimate dinosaur look without having to do too much work.
If You Have a Sweet Tooth
This is one of my favorite couple’s costumes! It’s so fun and not one I’ve seen on many people in the last few years, so you know you’re going to have a night full of compliments. On top of the cuteness factor, it looks pretty easy to wear so you can trick-or-treat in comfort.
If You’re a Dodgeball Pro
Or just really into the movie. This costume is awesome for a group! You can go with your couple friends or just with your partner, but the more folks you have, the more impressive your “team” will look. Plus, who doesn’t want to rock a gym ’fit during the trick-or-treat madness?

If You Like to Think of Yourself as a Maverick
If you’re the Maverick sort, you’ve got to don this flight suit costume. It pairs perfectly with the suit below so you can bring your lady with you on any high-flying adventure. Strap on some combat boots and a pair of aviators, and folks will be wondering if it’s you or Tom Cruise!
If You’re the Goose to His Maverick
Okay, I know Maverick has a love interest, but Goose is much more fun, in my opinion than Penny. This costume is form-fitting and designed for the ladies, so it’s the perfect addition to your partner’s Maverick flight suit from above. And if you’re more Maverick than Goose, that’s alright, too.
If You’re Looking to Be a Pumpkin Pair
Pumpkins are the classic Halloween costume for a reason! Nothing says “trick or treat” quite like a pumpkin costume. This set is great for a couple that’s really on the fence about how to match up with their kids, but still wants to be in the spirit. Or if you’re just really into gourds.
If You’re Into Happy Trees
Bob Ross is an absolute icon, but his paintings are pretty dang iconic, too. If you’re looking for a witty and fun couples ’stume, this is it! You’re going to wow your friends with your pop culture knowledge, stay comfy all night, and remain kid-appropriate — always a win when a costume can check all those boxes.
If You Like to Keep It Spooky
If you’re the sort of couple that likes to keep things spooky, this costume set is for you. What’s spookier or scarier than skeletons? And what’s comfier than a onesie? Not much, I’ll tell you right now. Stay comfy, and toasty on this trick-or-treat trip and stay spooky. Don’t compromise on anything important!
If You’re Feeling a Little Incredible
This is one of the easiest couple costumes out there, but it’s also one of my favorites! It’s just a tee, some gloves, and a little mask, but it gives immediate recognition and makes it look like you put a lot more work into it than you did. Great for a low-key, last-minute costume.
If You’re One of a Pair of Shoes}
What’s a better way to say “we go together” than showing up to a party as a pair of shoes? You could go a step further and dress your kiddo up as a sweet pair of socks. Or maybe a dog. Either way, you’ve got a family set or a just-for-parents situation.
If You’re a Real Tourist
Do you and your partner travel a lot? Are you the sort of folks that wear knee-high socks with sandals? Do you often stop in the middle of a sidewalk to point out some bit of architecture or historical monument? If you answered yes to any of these then this tourist is the costume for you!
If You’re a Little Spicy
Salt and pepper are kitchen staples. You shouldn’t cook anything without adding a dash of one or the other, or both, into it. This is a great costume for grandma and grandpa or for mom and dad. And if your little one is into Blues Clues, you can dress them up as Paprika for a full set.
If You Complete Each Other
This is a pretty dang sweet couple’s costume. It lets everyone know just how much you love, and like, one another. It’s an awesome choice for trick-or-treating because you’re unlikely to lose one another — how many other folks are going to be dressed up in a puzzle piece costume that fits with yours perfectly?
If You Love Everyone’s Favorite Snack Food
Bring the party with you! We all know a party isn’t complete until there are chips and salsa. I think this costume would be put absolutely over the top if you had a baby and dressed them up as a little avocado. I can’t imagine anything cuter, frankly, and it’s definitely the sort of costume that’ll win you any contest.
If You’re Into Raunchy Humor
If you and yours are more into the raunchy humor and you’re headed to a grown-ups only party, you’ve got to wear this costume. A plug and a socket? It doesn’t get much funnier than that. Plus, you can wear it over just about anything so you can go from funny to “kid appropriate” in seconds.
If You’re the King and Queen
If you’ve been dealt the best hand, partner-wise, let the whole world know. You could even bring some other cards along with you if you’re looking for a costume for the whole family. Or maybe try for an Alice in Wonderland theme — always a Halloween favorite with the kiddos!
If You Are the Walrus
Paul McCartney fan or walrus superfan? The world may never know. Show your love of the aquatic elephants with this awesome onesie costume. You’ll love getting to take the kids out in what is, essentially, pajamas, and they’ll love that you dressed up in such a fun and different costume.
If You’re a Bit of a Baby
It’s okay, we can all be babies sometimes. Though some of us more than others. This costume is a hilarious option, especially if you’re expecting or just had a baby. Really lean into it. It’s also a great excuse to get out of the party early — it’s past your bedtime!
If You’re Two Peas in a Pod
The punniest of costumes! This is a great option for romantic partners or platonic partners, so consider sporting it with your BFF if your partner isn’t into the whole trick-or-treat scene. It’s easy to wear and it’s easy to get on and off so you don’t have to worry about moving parts while you’re out and about.
If You Have a Potty Mouth
This costume is not for the faint of heart — you have to love potty humor to love this costume, and you have to be okay with your kids making bathroom and poop jokes all night long. But, if that sounds like you then you’ve found your costume match made in heaven!
