Fairy or Angel Costume Theme : Magic, innocence, and purity. Outfit Ideas : A tutu dress in pastel colors (pink, lavender, or white), wings, and a tiara or halo.

No basic cat, witch or fairy costumes this year, readers. Skip the Barbie and Renaissance get-ups too, unless you want to look like every trick-or-treater out there.

And for the dog parents out there, know that it's just as easy to incorporate the four-legged member of your family into these costume ideas. See our favorite family of three Halloween costumes ahead.
