Collection: Star Wars Costumes

Robes or armour: what is in a Star Wars costume

Every Star Wars costume falls into one of two builds. The Jedi and Sith route uses a hooded robe, tunic and belt with a lightsaber prop, and needs no mask, which suits a child who does not want their face covered. The Stormtrooper, Darth Vader and Boba Fett route is built around a bodysuit with a helmet or mask that is often sold separately from the rest of the outfit, so check the individual listing before you buy. Browse masks and headgear to see what is available on its own.

Sizing from padawan to adult

A robed Jedi or Sith look scales easily from a young child to an adult, because a loose cloak and tunic forgive a size that runs a little big. An armoured Stormtrooper or Vader suit fits closer to the body, so check the size chart and size up if you plan to wear something warm underneath on a cold night. Leia and Rey's dresses and tunics follow womenswear sizing rather than a costume-specific scale. See the full kids costumes range for the smaller sizes.

Group Star Wars costumes and when to shop

The cast splits neatly across a group: a Jedi, a Stormtrooper, Leia and a Wookiee reads as a themed set the moment everyone stands together. Star Wars costumes sell year round rather than to one date, with two real peaks: Halloween on 31 October and Star Wars Day on 4 May, so shop ahead of whichever one you are dressing for. Coordinate with friends before you buy so the builds do not clash. See more group fancy dress ideas.
