Men's Captain America Deluxe & Women's Deluxe Civil War Black Widow

The Marvel Cinematic Universe remains a massive staple for Halloween, especially as Avengers: Doomsday arrives in cinemas shortly - and pairing Cap with Black Widow gives a couples look a sharper, action-ready edge.

Featuring detailed tactical jumpsuits, padded muscle lining, and authentic utility belts, this pairing brings blockbuster Avengers energy to any party.

Both outfits come packed with accessories - including Black Widow's 3D gauntlets and Cap's sculpted cowl-mask.

For a delightfully wicked yet magical combination, pairing Neverland’s most notorious pirate with everyone’s favourite pixie is an easy win. The Made By Us Exclusive Men's Deluxe Captain Hook features rich velvet-look details, pairing perfectly with the classic green silhouette of the Women's Fairytale Tink Costume.

It’s bright, nostalgic, and gives one partner the chance to go full theatrical villain while the other brings the fairy sparkle.

Where's Waldo & Wenda

If you want a costume that's instantly iconic, comfortable, and bound to start conversations in a crowded pub, you can't go wrong with Waldo and his girlfriend Wenda. Matching the classic red-and-white striped tops, bobble hats, and signature glasses makes for a sharp, coordinated look under £42 combined.

It's lightweight, easy to move around in, and guaranteed to have people shouting "I found you!" all night.
