DIY from Your Closet & Home
1. Clueless Tourists
This is a classic for a reason! It’s hilarious, comfy, and practically free. Grab the loudest Hawaiian shirt you can find, a pair of khaki shorts or capris, and some socks with sandals.
The key is in the accessories: fanny packs, sun hats or visors, sunglasses, a camera slung around your neck, and a map you’re both looking at with complete confusion. You’re ready to explore the party! 🗺️
2. ’80s Workout Duo
Get physical! This costume is all about bright, bold colors and high energy. Dig out any neon leggings, leotards, or bike shorts you have. Add some leg warmers, sweatbands for your forehead and wrists, and chunky sneakers.
One of you could rock a side ponytail, and the other could carry a fake boombox. It’s a totally tubular and comfortable choice for dancing the night away. 🤸♀️
3. ’90s Grunge Couple
Embrace the angst and attitude of the ’90s. This is one of the easiest closet-based costumes. Think flannel shirts (the more worn-in, the better) layered over a vintage band t-shirt (like Nirvana or Pearl Jam). Pair it with ripped or faded jeans and combat boots or Converse sneakers. Bonus points for beanies, chokers, and a “whatever” attitude. 🤘
4. Jim and Pam from The Office
The ultimate low-key, sweet couple costume. For Jim, it’s as simple as a light-colored button-down shirt (with the sleeves rolled up), a tie, and some simple slacks.
For Pam, a cardigan over a sensible blouse and a skirt will do the trick. You can add a Dunder Mifflin name tag or have Jim carry a teapot. It’s instantly recognizable to any fan of the show. 📎
Iconic Duos & Pop Culture
5. Barbie and Ken (Simple Version)
You don’t need the official movie outfits to pull this off. Just think PINK! For Barbie, any pink dress, skirt, or jumpsuit works perfectly. For Ken, it’s even easier: a casual button-down shirt (or even just a polo) and some nice pants. The key is to channel the cheerful, picture-perfect energy. Come on Barbie, let’s go party! 💖
6. Mario and Luigi
It’s-a me, your easy costume! This is a super fun DIY. All you need are red and green long-sleeved shirts. Pair them with overalls or just blue jeans with suspenders. You can easily make the “M” and “L” logos with white paper or felt and attach them to red and green hats. Draw on some fake mustaches with eyeliner, and you’re ready to save the princess. 🍄
7. Agents from Men in Black
Here come the Men (and Women) in Black! This is arguably the coolest and easiest costume on the list. All you need are matching black suits (or just black blazers and pants), crisp white shirts, and black ties. The essential accessory? A pair of dark sunglasses. You can even carry a flashy toy gun or make your own “Neuralyzer” out of a pen. 😎
8. Ross and Rachel from Friends
Could this BE any easier? For Ross, think ’90s professor—maybe a sweater vest or a slightly-too-tight t-shirt. Or, for a classic look, find some leather pants! For Rachel, you could go with her “Central Perk” waitress look (denim shirt or apron over a black top) or a classic ’90s plaid skirt and turtleneck. It’s all about that ’90s New York vibe. ☕
9. Danny and Sandy from Grease
Tell me about it, stud! This look is all about that bad-boy-meets-good-girl-gone-bad vibe from the end of the movie. It’s super simple: matching all-black outfits.
Black jeans or leggings, black tops, and some leather (or faux leather) jackets. Sandy can rock some red heels and red lipstick, while Danny slicks his hair back. So easy, it’s greased lightnin’! ⚡
Funny & Food-Themed Costumes
10. Salt and Pepper
A punny classic! One person dresses in all white, and the other dresses in all black. The DIY part is as simple as cutting a big “S” and a big “P” out of felt or paper and pinning them to your chests. For an extra touch, you can make hats that look like shaker lids out of silver paper. A simple, savory, and instantly recognizable pair!🧂
11. Milk and Cookies
Name a more iconic duo… I’ll wait. For the cookie, dress in all brown or tan and stick on some black or dark brown circles made from paper or felt for chocolate chips.
For the milk, wear all white and create a “MILK” logo (maybe in a retro font) to put on your shirt. It’s sweet, adorable, and perfect for a fun-loving couple. 🥛🍪
12. Peanut Butter and Jelly
Get ready to stick together all night! One person wears a tan or brown shirt for the peanut butter, and the other wears a purple or red shirt for the jelly. You can print or draw “PB” and “Jelly” logos, or even go the extra mile and have one person carry a loaf of bread. It’s a goofy, cute costume that everyone will love. 🥪
13. Plug and Socket
Spark some fun with this hilarious and clever idea. One person dresses in all white and attaches two black rectangular shapes to their shirt to be the socket. The other person dresses in all black and creates a “plug” to wear, maybe by attaching two cardboard prongs to a belt. It’s a guaranteed conversation starter! 🔌
Spooky, But Simple
14. Classic Ghosts
You can’t go wrong with the ultimate last-minute costume. Yes, we’re talking about the classic white sheet with eye holes. It’s iconic, funny, and takes about 30 seconds to make.
One of you could be a traditional ghost, while the other could add sunglasses or a hat on top of the sheet for a modern twist. Spooky, simple, and surprisingly effective. 👻
15. Simple Vampires
Forget complicated costumes; this one is all about the attitude and a few key details. Wear your nicest all-black outfits—a dress, a suit, or just a black shirt and pants. The transformation happens with the makeup.
Use eyeliner to give yourselves some dark, dramatic eyes, add a touch of pale foundation, and of course, some red lipstick with a tiny trickle of fake blood from the corner of your mouths. Fangs are a bonus! 🧛♀️🧛♂️
16. Mummies
This one is messy, fun, and super cheap. The main ingredient? Toilet paper! Or, for a more durable version, use old white sheets torn into strips. Start wrapping each other up, leaving some gaps for movement and your faces. Secure the ends with tape or safety pins. The messier it looks, the better! You’ll look like you just emerged from an ancient tomb. 🏛️
17. Simple Zombies
Embrace the undead! This is a fantastic costume if you don’t mind getting a little messy. Grab some old clothes you’re willing to rip and rub some dirt on. The magic is in the makeup: use dark eyeshadow around your eyes to look sunken, add some fake blood, and mess up your hair. Practice your slow, zombie-like walk and groan, and you’re ready to hunt for brains. 🧟♂️
18. Morticia and Gomez Addams
They’re creepy and they’re kooky, and their costume is mysteriously easy. For Morticia, a simple long, tight-fitting black dress is all you need. For Gomez, a dark suit (or just a black blazer and pants) with a bow tie works perfectly. He can add a thin mustache with eyeliner. It’s all about the passionate, gothic romance—be dramatic and stay attached at the hip all night. 🖤
19. Robbers / Bandits
Get ready for a Halloween heist! This costume is comfortable and instantly recognizable. All you need are black and white striped shirts, black pants, and black beanies. Make simple eye masks out of black felt or paper. To complete the look, carry around a white pillowcase or a canvas bag with a big dollar sign ($) drawn on it. 💰
20. Bob Ross and a Happy Little Tree
Spread some joy with this incredibly wholesome costume. For Bob Ross, you’ll need a light blue button-down shirt, jeans, a curly brown wig, and a beard (real or fake!). Carry a paint palette made from cardboard and a paintbrush. For the “Happy Little Tree,” your partner can wear all brown and attach some fake leaves (from a craft store) to their clothes and hair. 🎨🌳
21. Sun and Moon
A truly celestial pairing! This costume is beautiful and easy to customize. For the sun, wear all yellow, gold, or orange, and create a sun-ray headpiece from cardboard.
For the moon, wear all silver, white, or black, and you can add star-shaped glitter to your face and hair. It’s a gorgeous and cosmic idea that can be as simple or as sparkly as you want it to be. ☀️🌙
22. Chip and Joanna Gaines
For fans of home renovation, this is the perfect comfy costume. It’s all about that casual, cool farmhouse style. For Chip, think jeans, a t-shirt or plaid shirt, and a baseball cap. A tool belt is a great accessory. For Joanna, pair jeans with a simple, stylish top and maybe some cute boots. Carry a sign that says “Fixer Upper” or “Welcome Home.” 🔨
23. S’mores Duo
A costume that’s as sweet as can be! For a two-person s’more, one person can be the graham crackers (wear all tan/beige and maybe even a cardboard square on your front and back), and the other can be the marshmallow and chocolate (wear all white and add a brown felt square for the chocolate bar). It’s a campfire favorite brought to life. 🔥
24. Thing 1 and Thing 2
Bring some Dr. Seuss chaos to the party! This is one of the easiest costumes ever. All you need are bright red shirts. Print the “THING 1” and “THING 2” logos from your computer, cut them out in a circle, and tape or pin them to your shirts. If you have time to grab a fuzzy blue wig, go for it! If not, just mess up your hair and have fun. ❤️
25. Two Peas in a Pod
Show everyone you two belong together. Both of you dress in all green. The “pod” is the fun DIY part. Get a large piece of green felt or a green blanket, wrap it around both of you, and secure it with safety pins. You’ll have to stay close all night, making it a true couple’s costume! 🌱
26. Silent Movie Stars
Take a trip back to the golden age of cinema. This creative costume is all about black and white. Dress in your best vintage-style clothes—a flapper dress, a suit, a boater hat—but stick to a black, white, and gray color palette.
The most important part is the makeup: use grayscale makeup to complete the look. Carry a small chalkboard or a series of cue cards to communicate. 🎬
27. Deviled Eggs
Get ready for a great pun! One person dresses as a “deviled” egg. They can wear all white and attach a large yellow circle (the yolk) to their stomach. The “devil” part comes from simple accessories like a red headband with horns, a red bowtie, and maybe a pitchfork. It’s a clever, funny, and low-effort idea that will get a lot of laughs. 😈🥚
28. Hunter and a Deer
A classic pairing that can be cute or funny. The hunter can wear camouflage or just a flannel shirt and jeans, maybe with a bright orange vest. The deer is simple and adorable: wear all brown or tan, add a cute antler headband, and use makeup to draw on a black nose and white freckles. 🦌
29. Soap and Loofah
Get squeaky clean with this creative and fun costume! For the loofah, bunch up a ton of colorful tulle (from a craft store) and pin it all over a simple dress or shirt.
For the soap, you can wear all white and attach bubble wrap or a bunch of small white balloons to look like suds. You can even hang a rope around your neck to be “soap on a rope.” 🧼
30. Where’s Waldo and Wenda
A costume that’s easy to spot… or is it? This is an instantly recognizable and super simple duo. All you need are red-and-white striped shirts, blue jeans, and red (or red-and-white) beanies.
Add some round, black-rimmed glasses (non-prescription ones are cheap at party stores) to finish the look. Now, try not to get lost in the crowd! 👓
31. Sleeping Beauty and a Sleepy Person
A funny twist on a classic fairytale. One person can be Sleeping Beauty in her comfiest pink or blue pajamas (or a simple dress). The other person can just be… sleepy! Wear your favorite cozy pajamas, slippers, a sleep mask, and carry a big fluffy pillow or a teddy bear. It’s the ultimate comfy costume for a chill Halloween night. 😴👑
32. Party Animals
This is the perfect blend of glam and easy. Dress up in your favorite party outfits—a cocktail dress, a nice suit, or anything that makes you feel fancy. Then, simply add a pair of animal ear headbands!
You can be foxes, cats, bunnies, bears… anything! You’re literally “party animals,” ready to have a wild night. 🦊🎉
