Group Costume Ideas: Fun and Coordinated Looks for Friends and Families

Coordinating with friends or family members can take your costume game to the next level, ensuring everyone stands out while still looking cohesive. The key to a successful group costume is to find a theme that’s both fun and easy to pull together. Check out our top five ideas for inspiration:

  • Superheroes: Choose a popular superhero franchise and dress up as characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman. 

  • Classic Horror: Go retro with classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy. Love the horror theme but want to make it fun? Beetlejuice is a great ensemble to consider, and with the new movie out, it will be super on-trend this Halloween season. 

  • Decade Theme: For a bold, nostalgic group look, have fun with a 70s disco vibe or 80s neon fashion. 

  • Fairytale Ensemble: Going with a more mystical twist is always a good option, giving you plenty of room to get creative. There are always princes and princesses, but you can go in the opposite direction and transform into a menacing character: think evil queen or wolf. 

  • Favorite TV Shows: For a costume everyone will recognize, pick characters from a fan-favorite show, such as House of Dragons, Fallout, or Bridgerton.

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative, and there are endless possibilities for group costumes!
