12. Cookie Monster and the Milkman
Don’t you think that this couple looks absolutely adorable in their costumes? He’s the milkman, so he’s wearing a white dress shirt, bow tie, khaki pants and a milkman hat. Most people will have a few of these items in their closet, but for the hat, he’ll need to either make it himself or buy it online.
She looks amazing with her blue top, hat and skirt. You can easily buy these online or in a store near you.
But the creative part comes from the felt eyes and mouth that she put on her top. She even made her own fake cookie that she’s holding, but you can also bring real ones to share.
I still can’t believe I was able to add an outfit this cute to the list of easy DIY Halloween costumes for couples.
13. Dead Bank Robbers
Fake guns, black hats (his, hers) and a lot of fake blood go into this costume. He’ll need a white dress shirt, covered in fake blood, dress pants and suspenders. She’ll also be covered in blood while wearing a black skirt and sweater.
She can add black makeup around her eyes and will also hold a gun.
Fake cigarettes or cigars are another popular choice, but they’re not necessary. You can hold a money bag if you like, but it’s entirely up to you.
14. Sheldon and Amy from the Big Bang Theory
Fans of the Big Bang Theory are going to love this couple’s costume. Sheldon makes this outfit very easy to recreate with his iconic lightning bolt t-shirt and beige khakis. Brown sneakers will complete the look for him.
If you want to go a step further, a grey long-sleeve shirt underneath will look great.
Amy will need glasses, yellow stockings and a black skirt. She always wears her striped zip-up jacket and a large purse. Be sure to add a clip in your hair. For Amy, the most challenging part will be finding a retro zip-up like she wears.
15. Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde are the modern-day Romeo and Juliet, if they were criminals. An iconic pairing, you can easily make this costume with:
- Pillow cases that you add money signs on with felt
- Blonde wig for Bonnie
- Black hat, white shirt, black dress pants and a tan vest for Clyde
You can then add some finishing touches, such as a bow tie and fake cigar to complete the look.
16. The Bundys
Al and Peggy Bundy are cinema royalty and one of the easier costumes to make. For Al, the costume is rather simple with tan pants and a jacket, blue dress shirt and a tie. You’ll want to be sure to hold your shoe box proudly because, as you might know, Al is a shoe salesman.
Peggy will require a few more items than Al, and if you have black leather pants, you already have one piece.
You’ll then need a leopard print top, red belt and the iconic red hair. If you have black heels, be sure to wear them.
17. Bank Robber
If this costume isn’t for you, skip it. Otherwise, he’ll wear everything black: long-sleeve shirt, pants and boots. Like any good bank robber, he’ll also wear a ski mask and hold fake money in his hand.
He can also wear a money necklace like this one.
And for her, well, she’s what he stole. You can wear a dress and attach all of the fake money to it. You can also find money costumes online that she can wear if you don’t want to damage the dress by gluing or pinning the money on it.
