Creepiest couple costume
Two-Pack Halloween Purge Mask
Also one of the most affordable costumes on our list, these twin LED-light masks are designed in the likeness of the horror film The Purge. While anything that takes away your features can be pretty spooky, the crossed-out eyes and overbearing smile is particularly unnerving, but sharing the look with your partner or friend will make it all the more fun.

Barbie and Ken Workout Set
It's the year of the Barbie movie, and we trust we'll see a lot of Barbies and Kens come October 31. While there are so many different Barbie costumes out there, we've chosen these for their bold colouring and comfy construction – they are designed to be workout clothes, after all.
Best couple costume for warm weather
Party Toga Costume for Adults
Halloween time in Australia is usually pretty balmy. While a lot of these costumes are good to slip over your clothes, others might be a little stuffy, so we've picked out the classic toga costume as our favourite for an outdoor Halloween party. These unisex togas can be worn by anyone, so grab two for a Grecian-themed matching costume.
Best superhero couple costumes
Mr. and Mrs. Incredible Costumes
Mr. and Mrs. Incredible are two of the best married superheroes out there, which is much rarer than we realised. While the fake muscles on Mr. Icredible will cause a few laughs, both costumes are comfortable and look great.
"This costume is so comfy!" one reviewer shared after buying the Mrs. Incredible outfit. "The skirt makes it more forgiving if you're short and curvy like me, but both looks are cute. Surprisingly flattering," they added.
Adult Batman Costume and Women's Robin Shirt
There have been so many iterations of Batman that you can choose to go simple or complicated, as seen in this matching set. While Batman has a whole costume, the Robin outfit is confined to just a T-shirt. This means that those who love Halloween can go all-out, while their less-excited partners can still have fun in the simple Robin outfit.
Food-themed couple costumes
Avocado Couple Adult Costume One Size
Who doesn't love avocados? Share your love for this smashable fruit by dressing as a half each. A one-size-fits-all design, you can wear the halves with simple black clothes for something fun and easy.
Chicken Nugget with Dipping Sauce Couples Halloween Costume
Another great costume for keeping things comfortable, this paired outfit can go easily over regular clothes. Note that some reviews mention that these are quite big, but you can either alter them or slip them on and off throughout the night as you please.
Tequila Bottle and Lime Slice Couples Costume
Another pairing that's a little out of the box, you can't have tequila without lime! Both of these slip-on costumes are made of polyfoam knit for soft and comfy wear. The tequila costume is only printed to the front, so make sure you turn to show everyone your top-shelf status.
Couple Cookies and Milk Carton Box Costume
Milk and cookies are more of a common pairing, but still completely adorable. Show off just how in sync you are with this charming costume.
Pair of Pea Pod Costumes
Two peas in a pod! This is such a great doubles costume, whether it's going on a couple, a pair of friends, or even two siblings. The pair are exactly the same, to match the quintessential idiom, and make for a simple, adorable costume that so many will love.
Most unique couple costume
Bob Ross Artist Couples Costume Bundle Set
A niche choice, this costume depicts artist Bob Ross and one of his pretty landscape paintings. Popular in the '80s, Ross had a TV show where he taught people to paint with his calming demeanour and soft voice. This is our top pick for something a little out of the box.
