However you and your mate like to dress up for Halloween or any other costume event - sexy, silly, cheesy, scary - is up to each of you. But why not double your fun and coordinate costumes? There are tons of great ideas to fit any couple. If you're a fan of classic costumes, try a Carmen Miranda/Gorilla combo. Gorilla suits can be found easily, and the woman dressing as Carmen Miranda can find fake fruit to glue onto a hat at any craft store. Top it off with a sexy dress, and voila. The outlaw/saloon woman combo is a lot of fun - a three-piece suit paired with toy guns and a 10-gallon hat will outfit him perfectly; she can wear an old-timey dress with lots of satin and lace, topped with an updo and fishnet stockings. Think you're a great catch? Why not have your guy dress as a fisherman, while you play the part of the mermaid caught in his net? If the two of you are big movie buffs, your costumes can reflect it. Anchorman fans can dress as Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone or General Aladeen from The Dictator and his Virgin Guard.
Want to go with something scary? Try Reagan from the Exorcist and the priest, or Morticia and Gomez Addams. If you take inspiration from TV, try a Glee costume - Rachel is a cute schoolgirl look, or go with Quinn for a sexy cheerleader. Pair up with your man as either Finn or Puck (don't forget the mohawk!) in a letterman's jacket. A classy, retro costume can be pulled from Mad Men - dress to the nines as Don Draper and a "skirt" in popular '60s dress-up clothes. Funny couples can do a low-maintenance costume by dressing as Mounds and Almond Joy - one has nuts, the other doesn't...get it? Go literal with Hairy Potter costumes. One of you wears an old, form-fitting t-shirt and leggings, then sticks as much fake fur as possible on his or her body. A long wig and facial hair tops off the "Hairy" costume. The other person dresses in gardening attire, holding a terra cotta pot or making one into a hat. And if "brown" does a lot for you or your mate, then dress as a UPS delivery person. The other person simply wears a large box around his or her body. And there you have it - fun, fabulous couples' costume concepts!
