Halloween isn’t just for kids. Adults can get in on the fun, too — especially since Halloween falls on a Saturday this year. So grab your partner and get dressed up together. You’ll have a lot of fun coming up with costumes and even more fun showing off to all your friends.

These costume ideas incorporate some common household items. Add a little creative accessorizing and you’re ready to go.

Make your Halloween magical.

• Witch: Have a long, black dress or a black skirt in your closet? These staples form the witch costume’s base. Next, you need a black, pointed hat, a witch’s broom and a wig (optional). Then pick up some black or green textured tights. But skip the green face paint. Instead, apply bright-green eye shadow or eyeliner for a more glamorous look.
• Wizard: Choose the same colored shirt and pants. Then, get a simple, long bathrobe — you probably have one hanging in your bathroom — and add a little magic with the shimmery trim you’ll find in most any fabric aisle. Sew or iron the trim onto the bathrobe’s edges. A sorcerer’s hat and cane complete the look.
• Rock Stars: Hasn’t everyone fantasized about being a famous rock star? Well, now’s your chance!
• Have an old pair of jeans lying around? Rip holes in them. Scissors can help you achieve the worn look.
• Next, tear a few holes in an old T-shirt. Cut all the way up one side of the shirt to the sleeve. Then, secure it back together with safety pins. You can always wear an undershirt so your skin isn’t showing.
• Do your partner’s hair and makeup. Wash-out hair dyes in crazy colors are wild but temporary. Add some hair gel or create a blue-tipped “faux-hawk.” Then design a rock star–worthy makeup palette. Apply black eyeliner and smudge it with a cotton swab to achieve that all-important messy look. Add mascara and colored eye glitter, then top off your look with bright lipstick and nail polish.

Go country! Assemble this classic combination easily.

• Cowboy: Slip into jeans, a flannel shirt and a big belt buckle to draw looks from across the room. Add a 10-gallon hat and cowboy boots, then line dance all night long. Just remember — a cowboy always has a good-ole-boy attitude, so play the part well.
• Cowgirl: Yee-haw! Cowgirls can liven up any party. Put on fitted jeans, cowboy boots and a cute flannel shirt layered over a white tank top. Tie flannel around your waist — it’ll give you an extra country element. Consider matching hats with your cowboy.

When it comes to couples’ costumes, you make the rules — add your own personal touch and creativity. You can even sport similar outfits. Think a team of pirates or two mummies. The bottom line: choose a couple’s costume idea that makes you both feel comfortable and inspired.
