Top 10 Halloween Costumes for Couples

By Susan Breslow Sardone, About.com

On Halloween, part of the fun of being a couple is dressing like one in costumes that complement each another.

What's your Halloween costumes fantasy: Are you superheroes, romantic characters from history, devils in disguise, a pirate and wench, or something else entirely?

Whether you have a Halloween party to go to or are celebrating by yourselves, these costumes for couples can make the night even more sexy and fun.

1. Halloween Costumes for HIM: Pirate

Avast, matey: Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean will appreciate these swashbuckling Halloween costumes that include a long jacket, knickers, white shirt, and black cummerbund. If you pick up the accessories — eyepatch, sword, and tricorn hat. The only other things this Halloween costume needs are a parrot for his shoulder and a wench to complete the couples theme.

2. Halloween Costumes for HER: Wench

Captains, couples, and their friends appreciate the presence of a salty wench at a Halloween party. Pirates meet their match when she's dressed in this red panne velvet and white satin costume with lacy, ruffled cuffs; a sexy black vinyl vest with gold braiding; petticoat; and matching striped sash and bandana. Costumes are available for sizes SML and XL.

3. Halloween Costumes for HIM: Toga

Whether he's a Greek god or an Animal House frat-brother type, come Halloween, Toga man costumes will take him back in time. Costumes include a white polyester toga and manly blue one-shoulder drape trimmed in gold. One size fits most. To complete the outfit, order a sword and sheath to match (sold separately). The toga man isn't necessary a suitable date for the goddess Athena (he's descended from John Belushi; she's descended from the heavens) but they look marvelous together in costumes.

4. Halloween Costumes for HER: Goddess

As Halloween costumes go, this goddess-like white dress with long, flowing sleeves designed for the female half of a couple is both elegant and affordable. Gold cording wraps around the waist of these Halloween costumes for comfort.

5. Halloween Costumes for HIM: Vampire

Go Goth this Halloween. The male version of this blood-curdling couples costume is the priciest one on this list — but Halloween should be a bit scary, right? He'll don a burgundy velvet vest with attached shirt sleeves and a dickie with an ascot. Over that goes his black satin, red-lined cape. Costumes include a faux-jewel medallion and white gloves. Available in his sizes medium, large, and XL.

6. Halloween Costumes for HER: Batavia

What a couple! This Gothic wench is the perfect vampire's foil. Her Halloween costume consists of a sexy sleeveless gown in black velvet and shimmery, gray, polyester satin material. Built-in boning holds the bodice in place. Includes fingerless spandex gloves that suspend a weblike cape. There's also a tulle petticoat and a bat pendant on a black velvet choker. Costumes are available in sizes S-M-L-XL.

7. Halloween Costumes for HIM: Spiderman

Prepare for amazing adventures in this adult Spiderman costume. Officially licensed by Marvel Comics, the form-fitting blue nylon bodysuit zips in back.

8. Halloween Costumes for HER: Wonder Woman

Spiderman meets his match with Wonder Woman. This Halloween costume is available in sizes small, medium, and large. Costumes include a red, white, and blue leotard; red cape; gold belt with attached lasso; and gold headache band. Silver cuffs and red-and-white boot covers are also part of this "I am woman/I am invincible" costume.

9. Halloween Costumes for HIM: Hellvis

Is he Elvis or the Devil in Disguise in this Halloween costume? His one-size, Vegas-style red satin jumpsuit has an attached cape, sequin accents, cummerbund belt, and horns.
