Best costumes for gay couples

Here are the top gay Halloween costumes for couples who want to coordinate while looking spooky and sexy.

We treasure Halloween. It's not only the foremost excuse to depart crazy with dressing up, makeup body paint, hot pants, and all sorts of fabulous outfits…but we get to do that together!

There are many excellent gay Halloween outfits to try out, but what about couples? The options become more limited when you yearn to match, but there's still a handsome choice of things you can choose from, whether superhero-inspired (Batman/Robin), terminal game-related (Mario/Luigi), or just good old-fashioned drag!

Over the past few decades of our connection, we've shared a fair number of Halloweens! So we've pulled together some of our favorite gay couple Halloween costumes that we've tried and loved, which we expect will inspire your outfit choice for the big party happening on the next All Hallows' Eve.

Every year, my wife and I include a goal of locking in our Halloween costumes in August — September 1 at the LATEST. This year, we changed our minds a scant times, but we finally settled on a good one. If you’re still struggling to figure out what you and your desire are going to be this year, fret not! I’ve got you covered with a bunch of lesbian Halloween couples costume ideas that are also easily to complete for all types of queer couples or can be adapted for throuples and polycules, too. You could also do these with a bestie rather than a boyfriend. We’ve got options for the pop culturally inclined as well as more conceptual options for the couples who get off on Halloween partygoers remarking on how clever their costumes are. I often enjoy to strike a balance of BOTH: clever and pop culturally timely. I’m what they call a Halloween overachiever. Luckily, my wife is, too!
