The best thing about Halloween is being able to dress up as whoever and whatever you want — but sometimes, it's worth compromising on an epic Halloween costume if that means being able to dress up with your crew. Rolling into a Halloween party wearing a group costume is such a blast, and of course, you can't beat the photo opportunities. Need some costume ideas for your group of three? We've got all the best trio Halloween costume ideas rounded up right here for you, whether you're dressing up with your two work besties or planning a three-person family costume.
Three may be considered a crowd by most, but when it comes to Halloween, a group of three can inspire SO many fun DIY costumes. From the most iconic trios in movie history (like the Sanderson Sisters and the Plastics) to TV's iconic three-person squads from the 90s and beyond, we've got plenty of clever ideas for your group of three to take on this year. There are also creative costumes that are on the spookier side if your group loves scary movies, as well as ideas that you can throw together last minute if you are on a time crunch. Now grab two friends and get to planning!
