These '90s couples' costumes will transport you back in time to the decade of Beanie Babies, Tamagotchis, and boy bands, so prepare for a trip down memory lane.

We found coordinating costumes that reference duos from popular TV shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Saved by the Bell," as well as quotable movies like "Good Burger" and "Forrest Gump." There are also plenty of options inspired by cartoons, from "Rugrats" and "The Wild Thornberrys" to "Recess" and "Doug." There's truly something for every '90s fan. But if you don't have a significant other in your life, no worries. You don't need to be in a relationship to get in on the fun — these get-ups work well for best friends, sibling pairs, or roommates, too. And most of the outfit ideas are easy to DIY at home, so you can save yourself a trip to the Halloween store and spend on sweet treats instead.
