Dressing up is always more fun with a bestie, isn't it? For people who don't have a significant other to dress up with, or those who have a significant other who just doesn't want to dress up, a best friend is another option that is just as much fun. Especially for those who are able to hit up some Halloween parties, because everyone knows it's always more fun with a partner-in-crime.

Matching costumes or just ones that complement each other really well are a great way to take a costume to the next level. It kind of adds to the creativity when there is more than one person involved. And who better than a best friend?

No one, that's who.

SpongeBob & Patrick

There is no more iconic duo than these two! You can turn to Pinterest for ideas if you want to make your own costumes or you can purchase your SpongeBob ($50, spirithalloween.com) and Patrick ($43, walmart.com) outfits. Either way, this one will turn out super cute!

Brittany & Tiffany Wilson (Kevin & Marcus)

White Chicks was a hilarious movie and this costume idea would also be super funny for those who have seen the film (which everyone should have). All you need are some heels, skirt/jacket sets, and fake badges ($12, amazon.com). And if you're not blond, don't forget the wigs!

Cher & Dionne

Recreate Cher Horowitz and Dionne Davenport's iconic plaid ensembles from the movie Clueless. You can buy Cher's yellow blazer and miniskirt as a set ($50, partycity.com). Dionne's specific outfits may be hard to find, but you could try a plaid skirt ($25, spirithalloween.com) with a red sweater vest over a white button-up. Add knee socks and you'll look totally clueless ... in a good way!

Bridesmaid Annie & Bride Lillian

Recreate Kristin Wiig's character from the movie Bridesmaids with a hot-pink, ruffled bridesmaids dress like this Jessica Simpson strapless cocktail dress ($45, ebay.com). Or scour your local consignment shops. You can probably find a used wedding dress at a thrift shop for Maya Rudoph's character. But it also kind of looks like you could fake it with a white sheet and pink ribbon sash.

WILSON! If you've got a willing male pal, he can dress up as Castaway's Chuck Noland with a shaggy fake beard, a wig, and wrecked shorts. Don't forget the FedEx box. For Wilson, use a giant beach ball to make a papier-mâché volleyball. Cut out holes on the top and bottom for your head and legs, and paint on the handprint/face.

Romy and Michele had the best '90s-girl party look -- and so can you, even if you can't pull off custom-made costumes like these on Peace Love Shea. Take a couple of cheap party dresses, like this pink babydoll ($58, rustyzipper.com) or this blue satin bodycon dress ($27, kmart.com), and accessorize with pink boa trim and a silver lamé star, respectively.

The ultimate SNL "Weekend Update" achor team has to be Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. And it's a pretty simple costume to pull off. For Amy, shoulder-length blond hair and a gray pantsuit. For Tina, shoulder-length brown hair, dark-rimmed glasses, and a navy-blue pantsuit. And remember: Bitches get things done!

Got a threesome? You could go as the three stars of the Minions movie. Kevin is the tall one, Stuart has one eye and a ukulele, and Bob is the little guy with a teddy bear. For Kevin and Bob try this Lady Minion costume (38.99, buycostumes.com), and for Stuart's one eye try this Minion mask ($5, amazon.com).

Look like this dangerous duo by wearing worn, ratty jeans with a couple of sleeveless T-shirts. For Louise, any dingy old white T-shirt with the sleeves cut off will do. Add a white straw cowboy hat and a blue neck kerchief. For Thelma find a black T-shirt with heavy metal/skull graphic and black sunglasses.
