An Asterix costume is the dress-up outfit of the clever little Gaul from the famous French comic series, with a dark shirt, yellow sleeves, red trousers and a wide belt. The colours in this range are close to the comic book image: black and yellow in the top, red in the trousers and a striking belt around the waist. This part of the shop falls under superhero costume and TV, where the famous comic and film characters are, while here you only choose the Gaul himself.
Gaul outfit or complete comic costume: which style do you choose?
- The classic Gaul outfit consists of a shirt with trousers and a belt, so the complete look is immediately ready.
- For men, you can find the Gaul version in multiple standard sizes, from S to XL.
- For children, there is a costume with a shirt, trousers and belt in the same comic style.
- The belt is part of the outfit in these models and not something you need to look for separately.
Choosing by size and how complete the outfit is
When choosing, first look at the size: the men's models come in standard sizes and the children's model follows regular children's sizes, where you choose based on body length and not age. Also pay attention to how complete an item is delivered, because the Gaul outfits here come with a shirt, trousers and belt, and the helmet is a separate item. In the comic, you recognize the character by his blonde moustache and winged helmet, so those two determine whether your look is truly complete. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one: over your own shirt or long trousers, such an outfit is more comfortable. On the product page, it states for each item which sizes are available and exactly what the outfit consists of.
Which version is for men and which for children?
The vast majority of the Gaul outfits here are for men, in multiple sizes side by side. For children, there is one version, with the same composition of shirt, trousers and belt, so a father and a child can look like two Gauls. If you are looking for Asterix dress-up clothes for a child, then that is the model you need. Even as Asterix and Obelix dress-up clothes for a duo, this combination works perfectly.
Combining with a helmet and a second Gaul
The look becomes recognizable as soon as a winged helmet is put on, and you choose that separately from the Asterix helmet. If you are going with two people, the other person wears the striped trousers with suspenders from the Obelix costume collection, which completes the famous duo. A blonde moustache or wig further enhances the comic book image.
An Asterix outfit for carnival, a theme party or a comic day
Asterix and Obelix carnival is a classic in the parade, because the duo is immediately recognizable and works well in a group. An Asterix costume fits just as well at a theme party around comics and films, a dress-up party at school or a company party with a comic theme. For men and children, it is a costume that you already have complete without many extras.
