Two is better than one? Well so are the costumes. Find your ultimate trendy (not cheesy) couples halloween inspo below.


It's always better to do the fun and spooky with your S.O. especially when it comes to halloween festivities. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to think of something when you're only a few days away. I enjoy that last minute, effortless costume. I mean who doesn't? Over the years couples costumes have become redundant and overall lame. Even the classic Wendy and Squints gig is getting old.


I have rounded up the top ten creative and quite trendy costumes to make it easier for you and your boo this halloween.


1. Elvira and Tony Montana

Pictured here is my boyfriend and I in what has to be our favorite costumes yet. I mean who doesn't like pretending they are the ultimate infamous 80's couple for night. I threw on that blonde wig and immediately felt like Elvira.


2. Jim and Pam

Besides being obviously obsessed with their office relationship, this costume is on point. Pair together a collared shirt and pencil skirt for Pam and dress pants, shirt, and tie for jim. And don't forget to bring along the awkard chemistry that is the epitome of these two.


3. Eleven and Eggos

First off, always make your man be Eleven because an Eggo is the PERFECT costume. But really, what goes together better than Eleven and her waffles? Nothing! Besides maybe you and your bae.


4. Margot and Richie

Wes Anderson everything, please! This is an iconic couple costume that can be found entirely in a thrift store. Get a faux leather coat, wig, and a fake cigarette and immediately you are Margot Tenenbaum.


5. Skeleton couple

Okay so I'm biased on this one, since it is my boyfriend and I (again). This was the easiest costume to create. We put together our own outfits and watched tutorials on how exactly to get the perfect skeleton faces. Franco added a rose to his hat while I put one in my hair to add a little 'day of the dead' vibe.


6. Panetone color combo

This is the ultimate trendy costume idea. Who doesn't love a good panetone color combo? Pick pieces with vivid color to make things a bit more fun and then just add the logo!


7. Strawberry and farmer

ree

Get spooky-cute with this outdoorsy halloween look. Thrift the overalls at your nearby thriftstore, add white dots to a red dress, and create a stem -- sounds foolproof to me. Easy, creative, and super sweet!


8. Bandits

Steal the show and these super chic and easy costumes. I mean talk about simple? Grab a beanie from your closet, black jeans, a striped tee, and call it a day. Oh and don't forget the mask just in case you get caught...


9. Party animals

ree

The perfect last minute costume for you and your beaux. Grab a mask and your fanciest fits to become the life of the halloween party. Champagne possibly included.


10. Milk and Cookies

ree

So maybe I'm taking my favorite snack a bit serious, but how cute is this?! Besides it being absolutely adorable, there are only a few items that would need to be purchased like the milkman hat. Other than that, get together some pieces you already own and *add chocolate chips.*


For those throwing halloween parties, here is the perfect guide (made by yours truly to follow. You will have the guests loving trying different candies with different beers. I promise it is a crowd pleaser!
