The last day of October is nearing quickly, and choosing a Halloween costume is one of the hardest decisions you will make all year. We've compiled a list of sporty Halloween costumes for couples or duos and what is essential to pull off each one.
Stephen Nedoroscik: Pommel Horse and a Rubik's Cube
Embrace the Olympic spirit by having one person dress as U.S. gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik. This can be achieved by wearing glasses, sporting a bronze medal, and, most importantly, wearing a big, wholesome smile. The second person has two costume options: they can either dress as a colorful Rubik's Cube or as a horse—cleverly referencing the pommel horse event!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Tayvis will definitely be one of the most popular costumes this Halloween, but there are so many ways to make it unique. Essentials, however, are a Kelce mustache and a friendship bracelet because, after all, he had a bracelet and a dream. The number 87 should be incorporated somewhere, either by wearing his Chiefs jersey or jewelry like she wears to the games. Glitter is another must to dress as Taylor, and you can even wear the glitter face stickers she wore a few weeks ago!
