# DIY Color-Coordinated Costumes This Pantone Couples' Costume Completes a Hipster Halloween Look By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-09-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couples-costume References: [sugarandcloth](http://sugarandcloth.com/2015/09/hipster-halloween-diy-pantone-color-combo-couples-costume/) This Halloween you can create a color co-ordinated couples' costume that your design-savvy friends are sure to appreciate. The hipster Halloween costume is inspired by [Pantone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky) colors and is extremely easy to make. The DIY costume idea comes from the blog Sugar and Cloth. To recreate this look, you simply need a vibrantly hued monochrome outfit for each person participating. You can easily expand beyond the couples' costume idea to incorporate a group as well. Then, you simple attach a white label reading 'Pantone' to complete the concept. This requires little to no effort, especially if you already own an outfit in a single color. It is best to avoid black, white or other neutral shades, however. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Color-coordinated Costumes:** Colors are becoming an increasingly popular trend for costumes, offering a visually appealing and creative way to dress up for events. - **DIY Halloween Costumes:** The DIY approach to Halloween costumes continues to gain popularity, allowing individuals to express their creativity and save money while doing so. - **Minimalist Costume Ideas:** Simple and minimalist costume ideas are becoming more prevalent, offering a fresh and stylish take on traditional costume designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the trend of color-coordinated costumes by offering ready-made options and accessories that make it easy for customers to achieve the look. - **Craft and DIY:** The craft and DIY industry can provide materials, tutorials, and inspiration for individuals looking to create their own color-coordinated costumes. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate color-coordinated costumes as a unique and visually cohesive element in their event themes, providing a memorable experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy Bowl Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trickortreatable-costume.md) - [Macaroni-Inspired Halloween Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-bold-to-the-bone-costume.md) - [Color-Centric Underwear Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky-x-pantone-color-of-the-year.md) - [Life-Sized Clog Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-costume.md) - [Colorful Undergarment Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky.md) - [Romantic Paint Color Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valspar-couples-colour-matching-tool.md) - [Exclusive Candy Bar Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-halloween-x-butterfinger.md) - [Colorwear Apparel Line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loungewear-and-activewear-1.md) - [Couture Color Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities.md)
