Adult and kids costumes
Whether it is a classic character, a group theme or a last-minute party, a complete costume set is the easiest option. The best buys fit well, are comfortable to wear for several hours and include the pieces that make the look recognisable.
What to check before you buy
- Read exactly what is included—many sets list a hat or accessory in the photos that is sold separately.
- Compare the size chart with your measurements; adult costume sizes rarely match everyday clothing sizes.
- Think about the weather and venue: add layers under a thin costume for outdoor trick-or-treating.
- For kids, choose flame-resistant fabrics, shorter hems and masks with wide eye holes, or face paint instead.
Group and couples costumes
- Pick a theme first, then let everyone choose a character within it.
- Order all sizes from the same retailer at the same time so colours and fabrics match.
Frequently asked questions
Are costume sizes the same as clothing sizes?
Usually not. Always use the retailer's size chart with your own measurements; many costumes run one size smaller than everyday clothing.
What makes a costume safe for children?
Look for flame-resistant fabric, hems above the ankle, reflective details for evening wear and face paint or wide-eyed masks that do not limit vision.
Prices, sizes and stock are set by the retailer and can change. Always check the size chart and returns policy on the retailer's page before you order.
