A surgeon costume is a costume designed to look like surgical clothing, with a shirt, trousers and often a face mask and cap in the same colour. You usually recognise a doctor costume by its white coat, while green, blue-green or turquoise surgical clothing immediately makes you look like a surgeon in the operating theatre. For children and men, sets are available in grass green, mint green and blue-green, while women can wear a short dress, and anyone who wants to look scary for Carnival or Halloween can choose a version with a blood print.
Operating theatre set, white coat or zombie outfit: which surgeon costume should you choose?
- Complete operating theatre sets consist of a shirt or top and trousers in a single shade of green or blue-green, and many also include a face mask and a cap or hat to cover your hair.
- Some sets include a white coat with buttons and stitched pockets to wear over light blue or mint green surgical clothing, so you can look like both a surgeon and a doctor.
- A separate white doctor's coat with a lapel collar and button fastening is sold without surgical clothing, which is useful if you already have a green shirt and green trousers.
- For women, there is a short dress in turquoise blue-green with short sleeves, along with a face mask and cap in the same colour.
- The zombie versions feature a blood print and frayed or torn fabric, and are available as surgeon costumes for men and children.
Determining the size and contents of your surgeon costume
When choosing a surgeon costume for children, select based on height rather than age, as children of the same age can vary greatly in height. Children's sizes range from 128 to 158 cm, with 128 cm generally fitting children aged 5 to 7 and 158 cm fitting those aged 11 to 13. Men's models range from S to XXL, but not every outfit starts at S, so check the size range on the product page. The women's dress is available in sizes S to XL. Also check carefully what is included: a complete operating theatre set includes the face mask and cap, while a separate coat only includes the coat itself. Do not expect a stethoscope to be included in the set, as it is explicitly not included with several outfits; you can find it separately in the doctor & nurse accessories section.
A syringe or doctor set to go with your surgical outfit
A doctor syringe in your hand immediately makes a surgical scene look convincing, and it looks extra scary with the bloody zombie versions. If you want to carry a few instruments in your chest pocket or jacket pocket at the same time, a doctor set is more convenient than searching for everything separately. If you are wearing a separate white coat, pair it with a green shirt and trousers you already own so that you still look like a surgeon.
A surgeon costume for Carnival or Halloween
If you are going as a surgeon for Carnival, a plain green surgeon outfit is an easy choice for a group, as the colour and face mask are immediately recognisable. For Halloween, swap the clean operating theatre look for a zombie version with blood splatters and torn hems. Surgeon clothing is available for children and men, while women can go as a surgeon in the short operating theatre dress.
Ordering your surgeon costume
What you need depends on the evening: choose the bloody version for a scary party and the plain operating theatre set for a cheerful Carnival party. Check each product to see whether the face mask and cap are included and what size range is available. If you are ordering for a large group, shipping is free from 75 euros.
