Smell the pumpkin spice latte in the air. Hear the Strictly theme song on the TV. Eat all the best Haribos (aka the cola bottles). Celebrate y'all- because Halloween. Is. HEREEEEEE.

Rope your bestie into your wacky costume ideas- they'll love you for it! We've got the best Halloween costume ideas for besties to rock together.
When it comes to Halloween, your best bet is to go for something topical, and culturally relevant for the year 2022. And what a year it has been. Euphoria season two. Stranger Things season four. The Will Smith Chris Rock slap. The death of our dear old Liz (please for god's sake don't dress up as the Queen this Halloween, just...don't.) We've got some super up-to-date relevant costume concepts, such as Maddy and Cassie from Euphoria, Eddie and Chrissy from Stranger Things and classics like an angel and the devil.
So get ready to dorn these Halloween costume ideas with your besties and drink all the Echo Falls wine possible whilst dancing to Monster Mash. In terms of who gets to be who in these costume duo ideas? We'll let you fight with your best friend on that one. We're not getting involved. *slowly backs away*

1 of 6Halloween Ideas for Besties: Agent K & Agent J (Men in Black)
Cady from Mean Girls had it bang on the money when she said that Halloween is the "one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it." If you want to go subtle and sexy, Men in Black is the perfect duo costume, because it also has the sci-fi horror element that comes from the film's plot aka fighting gross aliens. We've got all the parts here to make up an Agent K and Agent J costume for you and your best friend.

And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell. You know you love me. XO XO. Gossip Girl.
