Group Halloween costumes, planned by headcount

Three people is a different problem from ten. These four plans are ordered by group size, with the per-person cost shown before you commit.

Listed prices below are what the partner catalogue shows, converted at CNY 7.15 per $1 and checked 2026-10-24. They exclude the agent fee and international shipping — the Deals page shows that maths in full.

How to read this: each row is a plan, not a product. Start at your headcount, read the cost per person, then open the pieces.

3 people ≈ $137 / person

The jersey core

Three people, one jersey style, three colourways. This is the cheapest coherent squad look in the catalogue because the jersey does the matching for you.

Order the same jersey in three colours and keep trousers neutral. Total look cost per person stays under $40 before shipping.

4–5 people ≈ $71 / person

Add the cheap layer

Once you are past three people, cost per head is what breaks the plan. A mesh short and a graphic tee are the two cheapest add-ons that still look deliberate.

Put the shorts on whoever is least bothered about the look. They cost CNY 70.56 and nobody will notice them in a group photo.

6–8 people ≈ $180 / person

Two-tone skull split

Half the group in a camo skull hoodie, half in a black skull hoodie. From a distance it reads as one uniform; up close it is two different pieces.

Agree the split before anyone orders — an even 3/3 or 4/4 looks intentional, a 5/1 split looks like a mistake.

10+ people ≈ $85 / person

One silhouette, ten colours

For a big squad the only rule that scales is a single silhouette in mixed colours. A four-colour dress or a twenty-style tee does the work without a group order.

Pick two colours and one accent at the start, then let everyone choose within that set. This is the same rule a film costume department uses.

The colour rule that makes a squad look intentional

1. Two colours

Pick a base (black, white or denim) and a second colour. Everything else is off-limits. This is the single change that turns "we all wore costumes" into "we came together".

2. One accent

One item carries the accent — a bucket hat, a pair of sneakers, a bag. Accents are what photographs pick up, and one is enough.

3. Roles, not uniforms

Give each person a job: one base layer, one mid layer, one accent. Nobody wears the same combination, and the group still matches.

Sizing a group without a fitting room

Collect three numbers from everyone before ordering: chest, height and usual top size. Asian sizing on the partner catalogue runs smaller than US sizing, so size up when someone is between sizes. If in doubt, choose the style with the most forgiving cut — a jersey or a hoodie — rather than the one that looks best on the model.

Frequently asked questions

How do we keep a group costume from looking like a mistake?

Agree on two colours and one accent before anyone orders, and give every person a role (base, mid, accent). Groups fail when everyone buys the same item in a slightly different shade.

Where do we order matching pieces for six people?

The partner catalogue lists multi-style items — a jersey with ten styles or a tee with twenty — so each person picks their own size and colour from one listing. That is cheaper than six separate orders.

What if one person is a different size?

Pick a style that runs oversized (a jersey, a hoodie) and let the smaller people size down. Avoid anything tailored: a group outfit only works if the sizing is forgiving.
