Halloween Costume Ideas We're Loving in 2023

Spooky season is officially here.. which means it’s time to start looking for cute costume ideas for you and your besties!

Are you in search of the perfect group costume idea for your friend group? You’re in the right place! Stay tuned for 5 trendy group costume themes for Halloween 2023.

#1: Disney Princesses

If you are looking for a group costume idea where each person still has their own unique look, Disney Princesses is the perfect choice! This group costume allows for more individual creativity since you are able to implement your own personal style into the Disney princess that fits your vibe the best. Since you do not have to be entirely matching like some other group costumes require, you are able to get as creative as you want with your own look. This group costume is also great for larger friend groups since there are many different princesses to choose from!

#2: Winx Club Fairies

Another great costume idea that allows space for personal style is Winx Club fairies! This costume idea is fun because it can be spun in so many different ways. Each Winx Club character has lots of different unique outfits to choose from which makes the styling possibilities endless. A common core detail of this group costume is having matching knee high boots and fairy wings in different distinct colors, embodying each character. Pair a two-piece skirt set in the main color scheme of your character with a pair of wings/boots and you’re already off to a great start! Gloves are another cute detail to add. Since there are quite a few characters to choose from, this costume is also ideal for medium to large friend groups! Although if you have a smaller friend group, you can definitely pull this off as well.

#3: Powerpuff Girls

Powerpuff girls is the perfect costume idea for trios! Decide who works best as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup and you’re ready to start styling. This costume idea can be styled in so many fun ways! With Bubbles wearing all blue, a common trend is wearing a cute blue set and potentially involving velvet or fuzzy textured pieces. Blossom always wears her signature pink/orange bow, which is a staple detail to add in order to represent her character. Buttercup gives off more of a grungey vibe, so black fishnet tights or a black leather skirt would be a great addition to her costume. Lastly, matching your eyeshadow to the color of your character is always a fun detail to add!

#4: Space Cadets

If you are in search of a uniform group costume where everyone matches, Space Cadets is the costume for you! Unique and not too overdone, Space Cadets or Astronauts is such a cute costume for the girlies that all want to match with each other. One of the key aspects that completes this costume are the matching eye shields and thigh high boots. Silver matching boots would also look stunning as an alternative! This costume is great because it can work for any friend group no matter how small or large. This costume is sexy and fun and will have your whole group turning heads no matter what!

#5: Firefighters

Another fun uniform costume idea for girl groups of any size is Firefighters! This costume can be customized in so many different ways depending on your style. For example, in the photo above on the left, the girls chose to wear the same exact matching outfits down to the shoes. On the right, the girls wore similar fabrics and colors, but made the style of each of their outfits unique. Patent red faux leather is a great texture to include when styling this costume, and be sure not to forget your firefighter hat!
