1. Retro Sock Hop Couple: 1950s Fun with Tutus and Petticoats

Throw it back to the 1950s with a fun retro sock hop look! For a couple’s Halloween outfit, you can both channel the iconic styles of the decade. Ladies can wear a Malco Modes tutu skirt in pink or baby blue, paired with a cute blouse and scarf around the neck. Men can go for a greaser look with a leather jacket, jeans, and slicked-back hair.

For best friends or a group of girls, everyone can sport different colored tutus to add a playful, vibrant vibe. The twirl factor of a tutu will make you feel like you’re back at a high school dance, ready to show off your moves!

Pro Tip: Add some retro sunglasses and saddle shoes to really sell the look. Don’t forget to curl your hair or wear a headband for that vintage 50s charm.

2. Fairy & Elf Duo: Enchanting Magic with Tutus

If you're looking for a whimsical and enchanting theme, a fairy and elf costume pairing is a magical option for couples or friends. Start with a soft, pastel-colored tutu for the fairy costume. Pair it with a sparkly or flowy top, add some wings, and carry a wand for extra flair. Your partner or friend can go as a mischievous elf, using a green or earthy-toned tutu or petticoat to mimic the elf’s natural, woodsy vibe.

The beauty of these Halloween costumes lies in their ethereal and mystical qualities. You’ll both look ready to spread some Halloween magic!

Pro Tip: Use glittery face paint or temporary tattoos to add some sparkle to your fairy look, and don't forget elf ears or a leafy crown for the elf costume. Matching wings or forest-themed accessories will tie the look together perfectly.

3. Zombie Bride and Groom: Eerie Elegance with Petticoats

For couples who want something more on the spooky side, a zombie bride and groom costume is a hauntingly good choice. The bride can layer a petticoat under a white dress to add fullness and volume, giving it that dramatic, tattered look perfect for a “fresh out of the grave” effect. The groom can wear a dark suit with faux blood and zombie makeup to complete the look. Together, you’ll be the creepiest (and most stylish) couple at the party!

Pro Tip: Rip and tear the edges of the petticoat or add some red dye for a bloodstained effect. Use dark makeup to give your faces a ghastly, undead appearance. This costume is perfect for Halloween outfit ideas that balance horror with elegance.

4. Sugar Plum Fairy & Nutcracker: Ballet-Inspired Glam with Tutus

For couples or best friends who love ballet and want a costume filled with grace and charm, consider going as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker from the beloved holiday classic. The Sugar Plum Fairy can wear a Malco Modes tutu in a light pink or lavender color, with a sparkling tiara and ballet shoes. The Nutcracker costume can be created with a red jacket, white pants, and some gold embellishments.

This ballet-inspired costume idea is perfect for those who want to bring a bit of elegance and fantasy to their Halloween festivities.

Pro Tip: Practice a few ballet poses to strike during photos, and consider adding some glitter to your tutu to make it even more magical.

5. Cat & Mouse: Playful Costumes with Tutus and Petticoats

Looking for a cute and playful costume idea for best friends or couples? A cat and mouse theme is always a hit! The "cat" can wear a sleek black outfit paired with a Malco Modes black tutu or petticoat for a fun, flirty touch. Add some cat ears, a tail, and face paint whiskers to complete the look. The "mouse" can wear gray or brown and add a fluffy petticoat or tutu for a whimsical, playful touch. Complete the look with a mouse tail and ears, and you'll both be ready to cause some (friendly) mischief.

Pro Tip: Go all out with your face paint by adding details like a cat nose or mouse whiskers. This is a simple yet effective Halloween outfit that will definitely bring smiles to everyone at the party.

6. Beetlejuice & Lydia: Spooky with a Twist Using Petticoats

Fans of the classic film "Beetlejuice" will love this costume idea. For couples or friends looking for a spooky Halloween costume that stands out, go as Beetlejuice and Lydia! Lydia can wear a dramatic red petticoat under her red dress, creating a gothic yet elegant look. Beetlejuice can don a black-and-white striped suit and messy hair for that iconic, chaotic look.

This costume allows you to fully embrace the Halloween spirit while paying homage to a beloved character duo. Plus, the petticoat adds a fun, voluminous effect to Lydia’s dress that will have everyone admiring your outfit.

Pro Tip: Use white and black face paint for Beetlejuice’s ghostly look and dark eyeliner for Lydia’s signature gothic style. Add a book prop labeled “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” to really nail the Beetlejuice aesthetic.

7. Princess & Knight: Fairytale Charm with Petticoats

For couples who love classic fairytales, a princess and knight duo is a timeless option. The princess can wear a petticoat from Malcomodes under her ball gown to create that full, regal look. Pair it with a crown, sparkly shoes, and a wand or scepter. The knight costume can be created with some faux armor, a sword, and a cape.

This costume allows both partners to step into a world of fantasy and elegance while staying comfortable and stylish. The petticoat will give the princess gown that extra bit of magic!
