Couple Costumes: Cool or Lame?

What is your honest opinion of couple costumes?

Every Halloween thousands of couples around the world enter the same argument: to do a couple costume or not. Some people love them, others hate them.

A successful couple costume has to be one that both people are committed to. It has to be something that appeals to both of them. This is often quite hard to find. Also, there is the issue of whether the costume makes sense when they aren't standing directly next to each other. Being one half of a visual joke, when the other half is across the room can make for some unpleasant explaining.

So, what do YOU think? Are couple costumes cool or lame?

Emasculating Couple Costumes

"That Poor Guy..."

Often when I see people in couple costumes, I try to figure out whose idea it was. Sometimes it is so obvious that the woman chose it, that I am a little sad for the guy involved. Did they try to put up a fight? Did they try to talk them out of it? Or were they so insecure in the relationship that they donned the outfit without argument?

    Couple costumes? Yes, for as long as they're complementary and not sexist... lol.

    Some very interesting costumes! Not sure I'd be comfortable wearing all of them, but would go along for the fun! :)

    A nice collection of couple costumes. We somehoe never considered a couple costume, but seeing the great variety, I think we really shall do so.

    What a great idea for a lens! I wish I would have thought of it. I've never done the couple costume thing, but if I was asked to, I'd probably do it.

    Interesting lens. I don't think there's an answer to the question since it depends on the couple and the costume they choose.
