Collection: Wigs and Hairpieces

Picking a wig by character or decade

A bold neon or big-teased style instantly reads as 80s, a sleek bob suits the 20s or 60s, and a bright single colour works for a huge range of characters without matching an exact costume. If the hairstyle is the most recognisable part of the look, start there before choosing the rest of the outfit. Browse 80s women's costumes for pieces that pair well with a big teased wig.

Wigs, hairpieces and makeup together

A wig does most of the work on its own, but a touch of matching eye makeup or face paint ties the whole look together for photos. Clip-in hairpieces are a lighter option if you only need a colour streak or extra length rather than a full wig. See Halloween makeup for products that pair well with a costume wig.

Wigs for group and family costumes

Coordinating wig colours across a group is an easy way to make everyone recognisable as the same theme, even if the rest of each outfit is different. It also means anyone can build a last-minute costume around clothes they already own, just by adding the right hair. Check group fancy dress for more coordinated ideas.
