29 Group Halloween Costumes for the Office
Dressing up for Halloween at work throws you into a tricky predicament: You need to find a costume that’s cute but won't get you in trouble with your boss—or, worse, HR (sorry, sexy cat costume from last year). Plus, before you whip out the eye makeup and the fairy wings, consider that you’ll have to wear your full getup on your morning commute. But since dressing up with other people is more fun than going it alone, you should grab your coworkers and make Halloween a true group effort. Nothing promotes team bonding like deciding which wigs to wear or who will be which character from your favorite sitcom. Ahead, find 29 of the best group Halloween costumes that will win you and your coworkers a place in the costume contest (but also won't make you look crazy while sitting at your desk and actually getting work done).
Minions
These little yellow guys are not only adorable, but they also make for an easy costume. Denim overalls and yellow makeup carry the look here, but glasses and fun accessories can also add to your despicable costume.
H&M Straight Denim Overalls, $50
Sun-Staches Minions Official Goggles, $10
Barbies
There's no question that 2023 is the year of Barbie. The film has Margot Robbie in so many iconic costumes, which were practically made to recreate for Halloween. For a group, steal a look from Barbie's closet, or for an easier (and more comfortable) look, opt for the Barbies' pink jumpsuit.
Extro & Vert Petite Utility Jumpsuit in Hot Pink, $96
Taylor Swift's Album Eras
Taylor Swift has had one hell of a year, and you can bet she's going to be the inspiration behind a ton of costumes. Each of her album eras has a distinct vibe, making it the perfect costume to tackle as a group. Think cowboy boots for "Fearless," a fedora for "22," an edgy bodysuit for "Reputation," and a rainbow dress for "Lover." The list goes on and on.
Dirty Laundry Josea Cowboy Boot, $90
H&M Felt Hat, $20
Lulus Late Night Out Black Sequin Sleeveless Romper, $73
Show Me Your Mumu Wear Me Out Dress, $258
The Cast of 'Clue'
Based on the popular board game, 1985's Clue features a whole cast of zany characters with their own distinct styles. If you need a clue on costumes, just follow the characters' names. Mrs. White wears a white apron, Professor Plum, a purple blazer, and Scarlet, a red dress... you get it.
CRB Fashion Waist Apron, $20
Textured Plaid Sport Coat, $100
Showpo Adilah Maxi Dress, $100
M&Ms
Everyone's favorite candy makes for an incredibly easy office-appropriate costume. All you need is a T-shirt in the color of your choice, white gloves, and white sneakers. Seal the deal with an "M" iron-on detail and you're instantly recognizable.
Fruit of the Loom Men's Premium Crew Tees, $7
Chenille Stitch Varsity Iron-On Patch, $8
The Cast of 'Scooby-Doo'
Gather your gang and go as Velma, Shaggy, Daphne, and Fred for Halloween. Just about everyone knows the Mystery Gang and each character only has one or two signature items to their look. If one of you has a furry friend, put them to work and dress them up as Scooby.
Star Shining Mini Dress, $65
Chunky Ribbed Sweater with High Neck in Orange, $27
Gildan - Softstyle V-Neck T-Shirt, $10
The Cast of 'The Cheetah Girls'
'90s babies know and love the DCOM The Cheetah Girls so this is a no-brainer costume if your office leans on the millennial and Gen-Z side. Get matching velour tracksuits and cheetah print tanks and you're good to go. Don't blame me if your group suddenly wants to bust out into song.
Facitisu Track Suits for Women, $40
Beanie Babies
Ideal for the group that wants to stay cozy, this costume is basically made up of different onesies and a big logo. Not only is this costume incredibly easy, but it gives you the chance to essentially wear PJs to work. It's a win-win in my book.
Silver Lilly Slim Fit Adult Onesie, $32
The Cast of 'The Office'
This one might be obvious, but it's super easy to copy when you're in, well, the office. While you might not have a camera following you and your coworkers around every day, you should still stock up on your "World's Best Boss" mugs just in case. Bonus points for going as "hole punch Jim" for some added flair.
Gravity Shades New Non-Prescription Premium Aviator Clear Lens Glasses, $7
Dunder Mifflin Baseball Hat, $18
The Office World's Best Boss Ceramic Mug, $16
The Cast of 'The Wizard of Oz'

Gap Sherpa Moto Jacket, $128
Vince Camuto Hendriy Ankle Strap Pump, $99
Commando Faux Leather Legging, $118
Enid India Blue Check Dress, $192
The Briefcase Girls from 'Deal or No Deal'
Never forget that Meghan Markle was once a briefcase girl on Deal or No Deal before her big break on Suits. All you need to copy the look is a briefcase each, some colored paper, and megawatt smiles. Put on the same dress in a single color, and you'll be good to go.
7.3 Inch Aluminum Laptop Attaché Briefcase, $81
The Cast of 'Ghostbusters'
If boiler suits are already your go-to fall outfit, then this costume will be super easy to copy. Complete the look with custom patches. Now, the only ghosts you'll be fighting this Halloween are the ones of exes past.
Quince Cotton Linen Twill Long Sleeve Coverall Jumpsuit, $90
Ghostbusters Name Tags & No Ghost Sign Logo Applique Patches, $20
The Cast of 'Mad Men'
The outfits on Mad Men are some of the best in TV history, so there's no good reason not to get dressed up in your '60s best this Halloween. From shirt dresses to dainty silk neckerchiefs, it only takes a few items to achieve vintage outfit perfection.

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger from 'Harry Potter'
Delight your inner Potterhead this year and get dressed up in the Gryffindor garb you've been secretly hiding in the back of your closet since middle school. The costumes might get more relaxed later in the series, but I'm still obsessed with these adorable house uniforms.
Harry Potter Gryffindor Patch Knit Scarf, $20
Hermione Granger's Wand, $40
Eyebuydirect Epilogue Oval Silver Eyeglasses, $29
The Cast of 'Pretty in Pink'
While everyone else is dressed up in their best The Breakfast Club-inspired looks, consider going as something a little more underrated: the cast of Pretty in Pink. Molly Ringwald stars as Andie Walsh, the tie-dye-obsessed OG fashion girl caught between her love for her best friend, Duckie, and her preppy dream boy, Dale. Cue the oversized blazers, mixed prints, and wildly teased hair.
Madewell The Larsen Blazer in Mixed Plaid, $198
Topshop Riviera Tie Dye Long Sleeve Satin Dress, $119
H&M Easy-Iron Slim Fit Shirt, $20
The Belcher Family From 'Bob's Burgers'

Bob's Burgers Louise Pink Bunny Ears Hat, $14
Classic Oprah Square Eyewear Non-prescription Thick Glasses Frame, $17
Everlane T-Shirt, $30
The Spice Girls
Spicing up your life has never been so easy. Whether you're a Posh Spice or a closeted Sporty Spice lover, grab your girls and go all out. While wearing Ginger's infamous flag dress might not work for the usual 9-5, there's no denying the appeal of dressing up like the world's most popular girlband.
