The only thing more fun than dressing up for Halloween is going in on a group costume with your three favorite people, like your best friends, your family, or your coworkers, and even your dog. Truly, it might be the only kind of group project you'll ever enjoy.
If you're shy, dressing with an entourage may just boost your confidence, since all eyes won't be solely on you. And, if you're an extrovert who does want all the attention? You'll surely get it when you show up to the Halloween festival or theme party in a standout disguise that matches your partner or pals. When it comes to trios, there are so many fun options.
From famous trios like the '90s squad from Clueless, to classic Disney characters, to nods to iconic moments in pop culture, you'll surely find the costume meant for your group of three. (Even if your third wheel is your pup!)
There are no rules about whether you have to buy or DIY, either. Most of the unique homemade costumes on this list can be done either way. Save some money and shop your closet or save some time and pluck a disguise straight from the shelf—the choice is entirely up to you and your Halloween-loving crew.
