A duo costume works best when each of you has a clear role, a colour that's obviously yours, and clothes you can stand in all evening. The 35 below cover characters, nostalgic favourites, food jokes, easy homemade builds and a few spooky ones, each with the full outfit, hair, makeup, shoes, accessories and a simple prop. They aren't only for couples. Best friends, siblings and teens can wear nearly all of them, and any garment can be swapped to suit your body, your budget or the weather.
Sharing the Making Between Two People
Duo costumes go wrong when one person ends up making both. Before anything gets bought, I'd split the work by skill rather than by character.
- Whoever can sew takes the pieces with structure: felt ears, tails, panels and anything stitched on.
- Whoever can't sew takes the shopping list, the wigs and the makeup trial, which is just as much work.
- Buy shared materials once. One pack of felt or craft foam usually covers ears, patches and badges for both of you, and the colours match because they came from the same pack.
- Set a try-on date about a week before the party. Wear both costumes together, take a photo, and fix the gaps while there's still time to shop.
Agree on a rough budget out loud as well. When one half of a pair is a fully built costume and the other is a T-shirt and a headband, it looks lopsided in every photo, even if both of you are happy with your own part.
1. Wednesday And Enid Duo Costume
Wednesday and Enid are opposites by design, which is exactly why they work side by side. Wednesday wears a black collared midi dress, opaque tights and chunky loafers or lace-up boots, with two smooth braids, pale foundation, soft grey shadow and a deep berry lip, plus a small black book. Enid is all colour: a striped sweater, pleated skirt, bright tights and platform sneakers, a blonde wig with pastel pink and blue tips, bright clips, shimmery eyes, gloss and a rainbow backpack. Buy the wig with the tips already coloured, because painting them onto synthetic fibre rarely looks clean. Both outfits are school-style, so they're easy to walk in.
2. Barbie And Ken Duo Costume
This Barbie and Ken take a softer, retro direction than the usual hot pink. Barbie wears a pink gingham fit-and-flare dress, white pumps, pearl earrings and a matching hair bow, with polished waves or a high blonde ponytail, rosy makeup and a glossy pink lip, carrying a small heart-shaped bag. Ken coordinates in a pastel striped shirt, white trousers, loafers and a light sweater knotted over the shoulders, with neat side-swept hair, bright sunglasses and a toy-sized beach bag. The two don't need identical clothes. One shared pastel, repeated in his shirt stripe and her gingham, is what joins them.
3. Mario And Luigi Duo Costume
Mario and Luigi suit almost any two people, since the outfit is one formula in two colours. Mario wears blue overalls over a red long-sleeve shirt, white gloves, brown work boots and a red cap with a letter patch; Luigi swaps in a green shirt and green cap. I cut the letter patches from felt and stitch them on, because iron-on letters tend to lift at the edges on a curved cap. Draw the mustaches with skin-safe makeup and give each of you a slightly different hairstyle. A light gold coin, foam mushrooms or cardboard question-mark blocks make safe props. Pick overalls with a little stretch and supportive shoes if you'll be on your feet for hours.
4. Velma And Daphne Duo Costume
Velma and Daphne are comfortable enough for school, work or a casual party. Velma wears an orange turtleneck, red pleated skirt, orange knee socks and red Mary Janes, with a short brown bob wig, square glasses, natural makeup and a magnifying glass. Daphne wears a purple long-sleeve mini or knee-length dress, pink tights, purple flats and a green neck scarf, with a long red wig, lavender headband, soft purple shadow and peach lipstick. Almost everything here comes from an ordinary wardrobe, which keeps the cost down. If Velma's glasses are fashion frames, pop the lenses out so they don't glare in photos. A structured handbag or handmade mystery notebook finishes Daphne.
5. Glinda And Elphaba Duo Costume
Glinda and Elphaba are pink against green, and the contrast carries them. Glinda wears a pale pink tulle dress, sparkly flats, a silver tiara and crystal-style earrings, with soft blonde curls, glowing makeup, pink cheeks and glossy lips, and carries a star-topped cardboard wand. Elphaba wears a long black dress with a fitted blazer or cape, opaque tights and sturdy black boots, plus a long dark wig, green theatrical makeup, defined brows, a pointed hat and a small broom. Her green makeup needs planning: apply it with a damp sponge in thin layers, set it with powder, and cover the neck and ears too, or the edge shows. Tulle snags easily, so a soft lining under Glinda's skirt saves her tights.
6. Lilo And Stitch Duo Costume
Lilo and Stitch is relaxed and especially good for siblings or best friends. Lilo wears a red dress with large white leaf shapes, simple sandals and a floral clip, with long dark hair loose, warm blush and a natural lip, carrying a small camera or tropical-print bag. Stitch is a bright blue hoodie and joggers with a pale blue belly panel, soft felt ears, a light tail and blue sneakers. Slip a strip of stiff interfacing inside each felt ear, or they'll droop by the end of the evening. Keep the blue face makeup to the eyes and nose rather than covering the face, and add a fluffy blue wig or teased blue hair for texture.
7. Woody And Buzz Lightyear Duo Costume
Woody wears a yellow plaid shirt, jeans, a cow-print vest, brown ankle boots, a red neck scarf and a wide-brim cowboy hat, with tidy brown hair, warm makeup and a pull-string accessory fixed safely to the back. Buzz is the homemade half: white trousers and a white long-sleeve top with green and purple felt panels, white sneakers, soft gloves, a purple hood, light foldable wings and silver eye makeup. Felt glued onto a stretchy top while it lies flat puckers once someone wears it, so I put the top on a person, or stuff it with a towel, before attaching the panels. Skip bulky plastic armour. Foam and fabric let you sit, walk and talk.
8. Shrek And Fiona Duo Costume
This Shrek and Fiona is earthier and more layered. Shrek wears a cream tunic-style shirt, brown cropped trousers, a textured vest and sturdy brown boots, with a bald cap or close brown hood carrying soft green ears, green face paint, darkened brows and light shading instead of prosthetics. Fiona wears a long emerald dress, a gold-trimmed belt, matching flats and a small gold tiara, with red hair in a loose braid or low ponytail, softer green makeup, rosy cheeks and felt ears on a headband. A bald cap wrinkles if it's too big for your head, which makes the snug hood the easier choice for most people. A plush donkey or storybook is the shared prop.
9. Beetlejuice And Lydia Duo Costume
Beetlejuice and Lydia get their drama from stripes and deep red. He wears a black-and-white striped suit, white shirt, black boots and a loose black tie, with a teased white or pale green wig, light foundation, smoky grey shadow and a few playful green touches at the hairline. She wears the red layered dress with matching tights, low black heels and a soft red veil, with dark hair in a tousled updo, pale makeup, smoky eyes and muted red lipstick, plus an old camera or black handbook-style notebook. A veil pinned only at the front drags backward all night, and two combs, one either side of the updo, hold it. Keep the makeup clean and stylised so it suits a public event.
10. Coraline And Wybie Duo Costume
Coraline and Wybie are the rare pair that suits a wet Halloween. Coraline wears a yellow hooded raincoat over dark leggings and a striped shirt, with yellow rain boots, a short blue bob wig, freckles, fresh makeup and a pink lip, plus a small crossbody bag or stuffed black cat. Wybie wears a dark rain jacket, faded jeans, gloves and black sneakers or rain boots, with a textured dark wig, light freckles, a little smudged grey eye makeup, a messenger bag and a vintage-style camera. Don't do button-eye makeup that blocks your sight; stitch decorative buttons onto a bag, a collar or a removable headband instead. A short wig is also a relief under a raincoat hood, because long fibre gets damp and tangles.
11. Alice And Mad Hatter Duo Costume
This Alice and Hatter set soft blue against loud tailoring. Alice wears a blue knee-length dress, white apron, white tights and black Mary Janes, with a black ribbon headband, soft blonde curls, rosy cheeks and pink lipstick, and carries a small teacup or white plush rabbit. The Hatter wears a bright blazer over a patterned vest, cropped trousers, striped socks and lace-up shoes, plus an oversized top hat, orange curly wig, colourful eye makeup, a big bow tie and a light empty teapot. When I thrift the Hatter's patterns, I keep two or three colours running through every piece, which makes the clash look chosen. Pin the top hat to the wig with bobby pins through the inner band.
12. Peter Pan And Tinker Bell Duo Costume
Peter Pan and Tinker Bell can be made entirely from soft, light pieces. Peter wears a green tunic with a jagged hem, brown leggings, a narrow belt and brown ankle boots, with a pointed green cap, short auburn wig and softly defined brows, carrying a rolled paper map. Tink wears a strapless-look green dress layered over a fitted nude or green top for coverage, pale tights, green ballet flats with pom-poms and translucent wings, with a high blonde bun, shimmery green shadow, blush and gloss. A jagged hem is easiest in felt or fleece, since neither frays. For fairy dust, a small pouch of gold paper confetti looks the part without leaving glitter in every room you visit.
13. Scooby-Doo And Shaggy Duo Costume
Scooby-Doo and Shaggy might be the most comfortable pair here. Shaggy wears an oversized green T-shirt, relaxed brown pants and black sneakers, with a shaggy light-brown wig, a little drawn facial hair and a large empty sandwich box for photos. Scooby wears a brown hoodie and joggers with brown sneakers, soft felt ears, a fabric tail, darker brown felt spots, a blue collar and a gold tag, plus brown makeup on the nose and soft shading round the eyes. Both costumes are loose, so thermals fit underneath on a cold night, and nobody is stuck in awkward shoes. Sew the tag flat to the collar rather than hanging it from a ring, or it jingles all evening.
14. SpongeBob And Patrick Duo Costume
SpongeBob and Patrick come together from coloured basics. SpongeBob wears a yellow sweater over a white collared shirt, brown shorts or a brown skirt, a red tie, white knee socks and black shoes, with a yellow beanie or short yellow wig, rosy cheek circles and wide blue eye makeup, plus a small cardboard spatula. Patrick wears a pink top with green shorts covered in purple flowers, pink tights or joggers, pink sneakers, a soft pink cap and bright brows, carrying a light craft fishing net. I'd keep both costumes clothing-based instead of building a foam box for SpongeBob, because a box can't sit down and won't fit through a car door.
15. Mike And Sulley Duo Costume
Mike and Sulley are cosy and simple, made from two sweatsuits. Mike wears a lime green hoodie and joggers with a big eye on the front, green sneakers, small felt horns, green face accents and a short green wig or beanie. Sulley wears a turquoise hoodie and joggers with purple felt spots, turquoise sneakers, soft horns, a fabric tail and fluffy blue hair, with blue and purple makeup round the eyes. Build Mike's eye from layered felt circles stitched together before you attach it; one painted circle on fleece looks flat, and the paint cracks as the fabric stretches. ID badges or small hard hats are optional props, and the soft pieces make trick-or-treating or a festival easy.
16. Jessie And James Duo Costume
Jessie and James are a sharp, matching uniform pair. Jessie wears a fitted white crop-length jacket over a black top, a white skirt or trousers, black gloves and white knee-high boots, with a long magenta wig in that dramatic curved ponytail, purple shadow and berry lipstick. James wears a white jacket and trousers over a black shirt, black gloves and white boots, with a chin-length blue wig in a smooth side part and soft violet eye makeup. Both tops carry red letter patches. Jessie's curve won't hold in a plain ponytail; it needs a foam core wrapped in fibre, or a wig sold already styled for her. A plush cat or light rose is the shared prop, and the white uniforms should fit comfortably rather than tightly.
17. Clark Kent And Lois Lane Duo Costume
Clark Kent and Lois Lane can go from the office to a party with almost no changing. Clark wears a navy suit, white shirt, red tie and black shoes, with the shirt partly open over a blue superhero-style top with a red-and-yellow emblem, plus combed dark hair and black frames. Lois wears tailored trousers or a pencil skirt, a blouse, a blazer and comfortable pumps, with smooth waves, defined lashes and red lipstick, carrying a reporter's notebook, press badge and rolled newspaper. Pin the open shirt fronts back with small safety pins on the inside so the emblem stays visible. No masks, capes or padding needed.
18. Cher And Dionne Duo Costume
Cher and Dionne bring back 1990s school fashion. Cher wears a yellow plaid blazer with a matching pleated skirt, a white fitted top, white knee socks and black Mary Janes, with a mini backpack, long blonde wig, peach blush and gloss. Dionne wears a black-and-white plaid skirt suit, red cardigan, over-the-knee socks and platform shoes, with long dark braids under a statement hat, defined liner and a deep neutral lip. The plaids are what identify them, so spend your money there and keep the rest simple. Over-the-knee socks slip by evening, and a strip of fashion tape at the top edge stops that. Longer skirts or opaque tights add coverage, and flip phones or fuzzy pens make the props.
19. Romy And Michele Duo Costume
Romy and Michele are made for a party. Romy wears a shiny blue mini or knee-length dress, silver platforms, a sparkling choker and a small metallic bag, with a smooth high blonde ponytail, cool-toned shadow and glossy nude lips. Michele wears a glossy pink dress, pink or silver heels, a crystal-style necklace and matching clutch, with long blonde waves, rosy makeup and shimmery pink shadow. If the short versions aren't for you, wear the dresses over fitted shorts or choose midi lengths; matching shiny fabric in two colours is what keeps you a pair. Shiny stretch fabric shows every line underneath, so smooth underwear matters here. Handmade reunion name tags or yearbook-style notebooks are the props.
20. Kim Possible And Ron Stoppable Duo Costume
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable are built from utility clothes sold in ordinary shops. Kim wears a black fitted long-sleeve top, olive cargo pants, a brown utility belt and black combat boots, with a long auburn wig, neutral makeup and soft green shadow, plus a painted cardboard communicator. Ron wears a black mock-neck top, grey cargo pants, a brown belt and dark sneakers, with a short, slightly messy blonde wig and a small plush mole-rat companion peeking from a pocket. Put a couple of stitches through the plush and the pocket edge so it doesn't fall out when you bend. The matching black tops tie the two together, while trouser colour and hair keep them distinct.
21. Dipper And Mabel Duo Costume
Dipper and Mabel are layered and warm, which suits a chilly night. Dipper wears a navy vest over an orange T-shirt, grey shorts or jeans, white socks and black sneakers, with a blue-and-white cap with a tree patch, tousled brown hair, freckles and a small journal. Mabel wears a bright sweater with a handmade rainbow or shooting-star design, a colourful skirt, leggings and flats or sneakers, with long brown hair, a headband, pink cheeks, bright eye makeup and fun earrings. For her sweater, felt appliqué sewn on with a loose zigzag stretches with the knit, where glue cracks. A cardboard grappling-hook prop or a stuffed pig finishes her, and the pair works well for school events.
22. Cosmo And Wanda Duo Costume
Cosmo and Wanda are plain outfits under very loud hair. Cosmo wears a white button-down, black tie, black trousers and black sneakers, with a short bright green wig, a small gold crown on a headband and green liner. Wanda wears a yellow top with black trousers or a skirt, comfortable black shoes and a short bright pink wig, with a matching crown, pink shadow and rosy lipstick. Both need light translucent wings and star wands made from foam or cardboard. Keep the crowns small and fix the headbands under the wig, not on top of it, so they don't slide. The green and pink hair is the whole link to the cartoon, so buy those wigs first and match everything else to them.
23. Sun And Moon Duo Costume
This sun and moon pair dresses in gold and silver with no character pieces at all. The sun wears a metallic gold dress, jumpsuit or top and trousers with gold flats, a headband of light gold rays, warm gold eye makeup, highlighter and a sleek ponytail or bright curls, carrying a sun-shaped bag. The moon wears silver or midnight blue, silver ankle boots, a crescent headpiece, cool shimmer and tiny star decals round the eyes, with silver waves or a smooth dark bun and a crescent clutch. Make the rays from craft foam rather than card, since foam bends when someone hugs you and card creases. Repeat star details on both outfits so the theme holds while each keeps its own palette.
24. Bee And Beekeeper Duo Costume
This bee and beekeeper is built for outdoor events. The bee wears a black-and-yellow striped sweater, a black skirt or trousers, opaque tights and black ankle boots, with sheer wings, an antenna headband, yellow eye makeup and a high ponytail or soft curls, carrying a small flower bouquet. The beekeeper wears beige coveralls or cargo trousers with a cream utility jacket, brown work boots and gardening gloves, plus a wide-brim hat with soft mesh pinned well away from the face. A sweater makes this bee much warmer than a T-shirt version, which matters outside after dark. Pick wings with bendy frames and breathable mesh, and add a light cardboard honeycomb or empty honey pot as the prop.
25. Peanut Butter And Jelly Duo Costume
Here peanut butter and jelly skip the foam suits and use closet pieces. Peanut butter wears tan trousers, a caramel sweatshirt, tan sneakers and a brown beanie, with warm bronze makeup and a light bread-shaped sign showing a peanut butter design. Jelly wears purple trousers or a skirt, a berry top, purple sneakers and a matching headband, with plum shadow, glossy berry lipstick and a second bread sign with a purple spread. Hang the signs on wide shoulder straps so you can lift them off to sit or eat. Matching white collars or bread-coloured outer layers link the two.
26. Salt And Pepper Duo Costume
Salt and pepper is one of the fastest pairs to throw together, and a couple of details lift it. Salt wears an all-white jumpsuit or white shirt and trousers, silver sneakers and a white beanie dotted with small grey circles, with icy silver shadow and sleek hair. Pepper wears all black with black ankle boots and a matching dotted beanie, smoky eyes and a smooth ponytail or short dark wig. Removable letter patches on each front make the idea obvious, and silver crossbody bags shaped like shaker tops hold your essentials. All-white shows every mark, so Salt should carry a stain pen. Matching silhouettes make the black-and-white contrast look deliberate.
27. Ketchup And Mustard Duo Costume
Ketchup wears a red sweatshirt dress or red top with trousers, red sneakers and a pointed red cap shaped like a squeeze-bottle top, with red liner, rosy makeup and a high ponytail. Mustard wears the same shape in yellow, with yellow sneakers, a matching cap, gold eye makeup and soft waves. White oval felt labels go on both fronts, with generic wording rather than brand logos, and small baskets of cardboard fries are the props. Red liner right along the lash line can make eyes look tired, so I keep it to the outer half of the lid. Light cotton layers let you add or peel off clothing as the temperature changes.
28. Moth And Lamp Duo Costume
Moth and lamp is unusual but makes sense at a glance. The moth wears a cream or grey fitted top and trousers, soft ankle boots and large patterned fabric wings, with feathery antennae, a fluffy beige wig, pearly eye makeup and textured cuffs at the wrists. The lamp wears a gold or cream column dress, jumpsuit or separates with metallic flats, a light lampshade-style headpiece that sits above the face, gold makeup and battery fairy lights fixed round the waist, carrying a small cardboard switch sign. Use LED lights, which stay cool, and tape the battery pack inside the waistband where it can't swing. The shade must stay open so the wearer can see out.
29. Plug And Socket Duo Costume
Plug and socket is an easy joke made with plain clothes and removable cardboard panels. The plug wears a black long-sleeve top, black trousers and black sneakers, with a light rectangular panel carrying two silver foam prongs that lie flat on the front rather than sticking out, plus silver eye makeup and slicked hair. The socket wears a white or grey top and trousers with white sneakers and a rounded panel painted with a simple outlet shape, keeping the openings purely decorative, plus white liner and a sleek ponytail or silver bob wig. Wide elastic straps hold the panels without digging in. Cardboard softens in rain, so give it a coat of clear acrylic if you'll be outside.
30. Chef And Lobster Duo Costume
This chef and lobster needs barely any sewing. The chef wears a white jacket or button-down, checked trousers, non-slip black shoes and a tall fabric chef's hat, with neat hair, natural makeup and a wooden spoon or empty menu board. The lobster wears an all-red sweatsuit, red sneakers, a red beanie and soft fabric antennae, with light foam claws that leave the fingers free and a curved fabric tail. Red face accents and coral eye makeup do more than a full mask would. Attach the claws to the back of fingerless gloves rather than gluing them to the sweatshirt cuffs, so the lobster can still use a phone. The chef carries an empty serving tray for photos.
31. Scarecrow And Crow Duo Costume
Scarecrow and crow is a good-looking pair built on texture. The scarecrow wears denim overalls over a plaid shirt with patchwork knees, brown boots and a floppy straw hat, with braids or tousled waves, orange blush, freckles and stitched lines drawn round the mouth, plus a bundle of artificial sunflowers. The crow wears a black fitted top, layered black trousers or a feathered skirt, opaque tights and black ankle boots, with fabric wings fixed at the wrists, a sleek black wig, charcoal eye makeup and a feather headband. Synthetic feathers sewn in overlapping rows hide their quills and hold on far better than glued ones. A small bag of shiny trinkets suits the crow.
32. Vampire And Bat Duo Costume
Vampire and bat can be spooky and still family-friendly. The vampire wears a black suit or long black dress with a burgundy vest, a dramatic cape and polished black boots, with smooth waves or slicked hair, pale foundation, smoky eyes, defined brows and deep red lipstick, and no blood effects. A red rose or a decorative goblet filled with glitter is the prop. The bat wears a black jumpsuit, leggings or a skater dress with black boots and flexible fabric wings, a bat-ear headband, short black wig, silver eye makeup and soft charcoal contour. Capes and wings both make you wider, so keep them light and short enough to move through a crowd. Shared burgundy accessories connect the two.
33. Ghost And Pumpkin Duo Costume
Ghost and pumpkin is classic Halloween made with clothes rather than a sheet. The ghost wears a flowing white dress, white jumpsuit or oversized white sweater with wide-leg trousers and white sneakers, plus a white wig, pearly makeup, pale lips and a sheer cape that leaves the face open, carrying a small white lantern. The pumpkin wears an orange dress, overalls or sweater with brown trousers and brown ankle boots, a green collar, a vine headband, warm orange shadow and curls tied with green ribbons, and a light pumpkin-shaped bag. I'd skip both the full face covering and the round padding. You'll see better, sit more easily, and the colours still make the idea obvious.
34. Skeleton Duo Costume
A skeleton duo lets two people dress differently inside the same black-and-white theme. One wears a black jumpsuit with white bones, black combat boots and a short white wig; the other a black midi dress or black trousers with a bone-print top, platform loafers and slicked dark hair. Keep the makeup clean rather than gory, with white highlights on the cheeks and black shading round the eyes. Add white gloves printed with hand bones and matching black crossbody bags, and give one costume silver rhinestones while the other stays matte. Thin white cream makeup can look grey in photos, so build it in two light layers. Stretch fabrics keep you both comfortable for dancing.
35. 1980s Workout Duo Costume
Finish with an 1980s workout pair in bright athletic layers. One person wears a neon pink leotard over turquoise leggings, white sneakers, striped leg warmers and a wide headband; the other a lime green tank, purple running shorts over black leggings, high-tops, wristbands and a visor. Both go big on hair with high or side ponytails or volume, plus bright shadow, blush and gloss. Repeat at least two neon colours across both outfits, or you'll look like two people from different gyms. Foam dumbbells, small towels or retro water bottles are the props. Stretch layers fit most bodies and adjust easily.
Bright Wigs That Don't Look Like Plastic
Many pairs here depend on a wig in a colour nobody grows: Enid's tipped blonde, Coraline's blue bob, Jessie's magenta, Sulley's blue, Cosmo's green and Wanda's pink. Cheap bright wigs come out of the bag shiny and stiff, but a few minutes of work changes that.
- Shake the wig out, then comb from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb, never from the roots down.
- Work a little dry shampoo or unscented talc through the fibre to cut the shine. Do it outside, because it gets everywhere.
- Trim the fringe on your own face with sharp scissors, snipping upward into the ends so it doesn't hang like a straight curtain.
- Wear a wig cap close to the wig colour, or to your own hair, so the parting doesn't flash skin.
Bright wigs shed, the cheapest most of all, so expect a few stray fibres on your collar and pack a lint roller. Afterward, wash the wig gently in cool water with a little conditioner and let it dry on a stand, and it'll be ready for next year.
Toning It Down for School or the Office
Plenty of these pairs end up at school dress-up days or office parties, and those often come with rules: no masks, nothing that looks like a weapon, sometimes no face makeup. Velma and Daphne, Clark and Lois, Cher and Dionne, Kim and Ron, and salt and pepper fit as they are. For the rest, keep the clothes and drop the one risky piece. Stitch keeps the ears and hoodie and loses the face makeup, Elphaba trades her green face for a green scarf and the hat, and the lobster takes the claws off at the desk. It's worth checking the rules before you buy a wig too, since some places limit those as well.
Agree on the Colours Before the Wigs
A duo costume should be easy to read and easy to wear for both of you. Start from what you have in common: a show you both grew up with, a food joke, a fashion moment or a Halloween classic. Settle the colours and outlines first, then add wigs, makeup, shoes and one clear prop each. Thrifted clothes, closet basics, felt and cardboard can make a cheap costume look planned. Above all, adjust each outfit for the weather, the coverage you want and how much you'll be moving, because the best pairing is the one neither of you takes off early.
