Planning out the ultimate Halloween costume is even better when you’re doing it with your best friend. Whether you’ve been friends for years or are foraging a new bond, two heads are always better than one when it comes to drumming up a creative costume you all will remember for years to come.
Not only can you and your bestie coordinate outfits based on iconic duos from pop culture (like Cher and Dionne from Clueless) or dynamic superhero pairs (think Wanda and Vision ... or any of the Avengers really), but you can also open up the invite to create to your entire group of friends for an epic group costume. If you have two best friends you all could also take a look at some of our favorite trio costumes to find a spooky getup that will have everyone wishing that they thought of it first, come October 31.
Once you have nailed down everyone you want to include and whether you want to get silly with a punny costume or want to aim for something a little more work appropriate, go to town with our list of the best friend costumes that are sure to please the entire crew.
