British Icons Fancy Dress

British icons fancy dress covers the recognisable national characters, from royals and Beefeaters to punks and Peaky Blinders, that work well for a UK-themed party or a visiting-tourist joke costume. Most looks build from one strong piece, a flat cap and waistcoat reads instantly as Peaky Blinders, then simple accessories finish the character. Pick the era or figure you want, then add the props that make it obvious.

Royal and Beefeater costumes

Queen, King and Beefeater outfits are the classic British-icon choice for a royal-themed party or a jubilee celebration. A robe, crown and sash do most of the work, with a Beefeater tunic and hat as the guard alternative. These pair well with our famous people costumes for a mixed royalty-and-celebrity theme.

Peaky Blinders and gangster looks

The flat cap, waistcoat and tweed suit of Peaky Blinders has become a go-to British-icon costume for stag dos and themed nights. It reads instantly as the character with almost no extra props needed. Browse Peaky Blinders fancy dress for the full look.

Punk, Mary Poppins and other British characters

British icons stretch from 70s punk with a tartan jacket and safety pins to a prim Mary Poppins with umbrella and carpet bag, giving a group plenty of contrast to choose from. Mixing eras across a group makes for a varied, photo-friendly set. See our Mary Poppins fancy dress for the nanny look.
