******************************************************************************************

It may be summer but it is amazing how many of you are searching for  perfect couple’s costumes.  Whether you are already planning for Halloween, getting ready for Fall fraternity and sorority rush parties, or finally realize how much bang for your buck you get by adding a costume element to almost any theme party,  you not only want costumes ideas,  you also want to be able to see your options all in one convenient location.  So basically we have combined all of our previous costume posts onto one page plus have added a few new ideas.  We will continue to add new couples costumes as they arrive in the stores, so keep checking back!  We have also made the pictures a little larger than usual so you can pretty much see  what the costumes look like without clicking back and forth so much.

We have broken down this post  into the following categories:

  • Couples Costumes

Costumes that work for most people with many also available in plus sizes.  Click on the links or pictures for details but remember, the photos below just give you the overall look. Quite often you can choose from a variety of options ranging from almost dowdy to quite sexy, so be sure to click on the “see more” links option when you visit the costume site. Some of the couples costumes in this category range from King Kong and Anne Darrow to Adam and Eve to Sugar Daddy and his Sugar Baby (my favorite!)

  • Superhero and Supervillain

Any combination will work!

  • Formal Costumes

This style costume works for any event but is pretty much your only option if you are attending a formal even or wedding. Yes, this year there seem to be quite a few of you who have opted for a festive Halloween wedding but prefer your guests maintain the formality typically associated with a wedding.

  • Cute for her. Wearable for him.

These couple  costume ideas are designed around the guy who is uncomfortable wearing costumes.  They are easy to wear and not too complicated or fussy.

  • Sexy for her.  Sexy for him.

No further explanation needed.

  • Silly costumes

Just for the fun of it.

  • Simple. Cheap.

And finally, we have included a module for those of you who are begrudgingly being dragged to a couples costume party but would prefer not to dress up and certainly have no desire to spend a lot of money.

We want to encourage all of you to enjoy the search. Choosing your costume and getting ready for the big night is at least half of the fun!

Butterfly & Butterfly Catcher

I like the butterfly catcher idea so much did a bit of research and basically found no off the rack costumes except this bushman costume in very limited sizes

So even better — create your own butterfly catcher costume. Have your man wear a khaki shirt and/or safari vest, khaki shorts, safari, bushman hat or boonie hat,  hiking boots, and carry a butterfly net. If you don’t care for this butterfly costume, there are lots more options to choose from!

Any Disney Princess and Handsome Prince

Just a note of caution: Unless you go with a fairly sexy looking princess costume, this concept can go bad quickly. An adult in a princess costume can end up looking silly rather than stunning.

Handsome Prince

Snow White

Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

If your date prefers an even simpler look, he can wear a purple or wine colored cape over black slacks/jeans and a white or black collared shirt. Now add a crown

Star Trek

Cowboy hat

Shoot em up cowgirl

For this guy look, a simple cowboy hat worn with jeans, a t-shirt or collared long sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled, and a bandana will work just fine. He can even skip the bandanna.

For this look any matching soccer uniforms will work. For her — just roll the sleeves and tie the shirt so it is shorter or better yet, cut the both the length and the sleeves with pinking sheers.

The classic toga

Rather than a sheet, it is best to go to a fabric store and buy real fabric — solid white is traditional, but any color, any pattern will work if you just want to have fun with the whole toga concept and want to stand out from the crowd.   Generally, fabric is  less expensive than sheets and is a better shape for wrapping around your body.    TogaBoy suggests buying 4-6 yards of  fabric.

Graffiti Costumes …

A simple white unisex t-shirt worn either with jeans or with white shorts or sweatpants work as a simple fashion forward costume. Just take fabric markers or even cans of spray paint (the shirts will be a little stiff if you spray them) and “tag” the shirts with just about anything you like.

Mr. or Ms. Matched

Combine every pattern in your wardrobe to create one crazy and colorful costume.  In addition to your mismatched shirts and pants, think old ties, socks, bandanas, hats, gloves, and scarves.  Little Miss Matched has  a wonderful zany mismatched collection for both children and adults in a wide  range of color  and patterns. So what are you — an adorable elf?


Little Miss Matched (Start with the clearance section!)

Glamour Couple

For Him: Wear a suit and tie.  Add  sunglasses.  Start at Nifty Fits for the latest in men’s statement fashion.

For Her:  This might be the perfect excuse to buy a new fashionable dress.  Start at Nifty Fits for the latest in designer name clothes and accessories at discount pricing!

Jewelry

If you really want to go way, way over the top consider renting real diamond jewelry.   I am fascinated by this concept.  Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it.  How much more glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!
