by Avery Matera / Tuesday, 23 October 2018

When it comes to your Halloween look, why go at it alone? Some of the best costumes out there are actually part of a full-blown ensemble, so it’s time to enlist the help of your nearest and dearest, wrangling friends to take part in some epic group looks this coming All Hallow’s Eve. Whether you and a single friend are looking to channel Cher and Di from Clueless, channeling the holiday in proper form with the inspiration of The Addams Family, or want to go for a classic group look by way of The Wizard of Oz or the Spice Girls. For all that and more, check out our 11 favorite group costumes for this coming Halloween.

The Riverdale Gang

The best part about spending Halloween as the Riverdale gang? You probably already have everything you need hiding in your closet. For a complete guide on how to master the look of 2018’s favorite TV squad, check out some costume ideas here.

The Incredibles

Celebrate this super family’s 2018 return to the big screen with some super costumes that are surprisingly easy to DIY. Grab a red turtleneck, red leggings and black shorts (to be worn over the leggings), and craft an Incredibles “I” out of construction paper. Accessorize with boots, gloves and a mask and you’re ready to save the world. Plus, you won’t be freezing, which is a definite bonus on Halloween night.

Clueless

Though Cher and Di’s three-piece plaid ensembles won’t be the easiest costumes to secure, they’ll be so worth it. Double-up on the tartan with your best pal, add matching thigh-highs, and top it off with sassy shoes. Have a third pal? Perfect— she can play Tai. Dig your old oversized overalls out from the depths of your closet, and you’ll be set.

The Stranger Things Crew

Grab some hooded sweatshirts, ’80s-inspired sweaters, and a few pair of Converse and spend this Halloween as Hawkins’ bravest squad. For even more inspo on how to channel your inner Eleven, check out our full guide on how to dress like the cast of Stranger Things.

The Young Royals

Let 2018’s royal mania continue, this time for Halloween. To channel your inner Duchess, have some fun with fascinators, or opt for a suit and sash for the princes’ looks. For a bigger group, bring George and Charlotte (arguably two of the best dressed royals of all) into the mix. There’s a new squad in town when it comes to the royal family—and they’re more fashionable than ever.

The Addams Family

There are few group looks more authentic to Halloween than the Addams Family. Whether you’re a Morticia, a Wednesday, or even an Uncle Fester, there’s a deep black look for you.

Hocus Pocus‘ Sanderson Sisters

Perhaps the most fashionable witches on the big screen, this trio takes the Halloween style and amps it up, with layers of petticoats and skirts, structured bustiers, and long capes that flow behind them as they trudge around the town in black lace-up boots.

The Peanuts Kids

Have a T-shirt and a pair of shorts? Then this group costume look is for you. With every character in a unique and iconic color combination, it’s one of the most simple DIY Halloween costumes out there for you and all your friends.

The Wet Hot American Summer Campers

These campers might have grown up a little since we first met them, but they’re bringing back their iconic retro summer camp style. While all it takes is a graphic ringer tee, shorts, sports socks, and sneakers to fit in with the group, it’s a look that we might very well incorporate into our wardrobe in pieces long after Halloween is over.

The Wizard of Oz‘s Dorothy and Company

While some of the bunch might be more difficult to create than others (we’re looking at you: Cowardly Lion…) it’s surely one of the most iconic groups in the history of films.

The Spice Girls

Everyone has that Spice Girl that they relate to above all and, odds are, you and your besties all feel that way about a different one of the five. Band together this Halloween with looks from the early aughts that will have you singing and dancing your way through the streets as you head to that All Hallow’s Eve party arm-in-arm.
