Top 10 Must Wear 2016 Halloween Costumes

Sexier than bacon and eggs, classier than peanut butter and jelly, an Oreo and Milk is the perfect way to let the rest of the party know that you and your partner complete each other. And that you like cookies. A rip off of the Hydrox cookie, Greek for “well done” and a fan favorite since 1912, an Oreo is sure to light up any soiree, and everyone knows the party doesn’t start until someone breaks out the milk. Either option is perfect for any size or shape; plus, think of all the fun you can have making the costumes! Fashion your self some cardboard circles or go crazy and use some well washed trash can lids, and you’ve got yourself an Oreo. Get crafty with a refrigerator box and you have yourself a carton of milk. Fun times!

Nothing says “cute” quite like the original cartoon power couple. Going strong since 1928, Mickey and Minnie are a sure fire way to let your fellow partygoers and rival trick or treaters know which couple is the sweetest pair of candy corns. The best part about Mickey and Minnie? The flexibility when it comes to wardrobe options. You could go traditional with red overalls for Mickey with a pink dress and bow for Minnie, or go all out with a tux paired with a polka dot dress, or any other his and her combo

A loofah and soap pairing is just good clean Halloween fun. Sure, a soap costume is likely to be a bit bland, what with it being box-based and all, but fun can still be had by painstakingly replicating the packaging of your favorite brand of soap – be it plain Jane Ivory, vanilla Dove, or the ever exotic Irish Spring. You could even up the kitsch appeal by adding a rope. It’ll be pretty hard to top the snaz factor of your lathery companion, but showing a little shoulder and or leg might just give a lacy loofah a bit of sizzle. All in all, this couples costume tells the room that apart, you’re mildly useful, but together you’re all that you need.

So much variety! One could be Ash, May, or a gender-swapped version of either but the real fun comes with which Pokémon you care to choose. Charming Charmander? Budding Bulbasaur? Weedle, Zubat, Wigglytuff, Jigglypuff, or Psyduck? It’s up to you, Tentacool! Shellder, Seadra, whatever matches your shoes! Squirtle, Magikarp? Why not? Of course, the safe bet – or at least the one least likely to raise the question “so what are you supposed to be, anyway” – would have to be Pikachu. A simple makeup job, rabbit ears, a yellow shirt and a tacked on lightening bolt and you’re aces, or grab a Pikachu hat, hoodie, or onesie and you’re Halloween ready.

Top 10 Halloween Costumes for Couples

The quintessential pair of good-looking go-getters, Barbie and Ken have been every girl’s favorite on again off again couple since 1961 when Ken arrived on the scene. As costumes, Barbie and Ken couldn’t be simpler: just wear any complimentary outfits that seem to be trying just a little too hard or fully commit to any jet-setting, intellectual, or totes-rad occupation you can think of. Blonde hair or at least blonde wigs couldn’t hurt, a well-constructed box could add a collector’s flare, but being ridiculously fit might just come across as bragging. A pink Corvette would certainly win bonus points, and, as Barbie’s had over 40 pets, there’s room to include Fido or Mr Boots for extra pizazz. Just try to forget post-party that the real Barbie and Ken were actually the children of the doll’s creator...

From the town of Bedrock and a page right out of history; they’re the modern, stone age, go-to get-up for two! Fred Flintstone is the perfect costume for the hefty but confident gent, while Wilma is perfect for sassy redheads or those who can only dream of being a sassy redhead. If Fred and Wilma aren’t an exact fit, there’s always Bedrock’s other notable couple, the Rubbles. Or you could always trick-or-treat it up as Fred and Betty, Barney and Wilma, Fred and Barney, or Wilma and Betty – whatever roles best suit your particular coupling. #4: Han Solo & Princess Leia
