Detective clothing is a costume for a detective look, recognizable by a deerstalker hat with two brims, a pipe, a magnifying glass, or a long coat with a shoulder cape. For women and men, you can choose between a complete detective costume in an English tweed-like style, a grey inspector look with a cape, or a lighter version in which a herringbone or houndstooth hat with a pipe and magnifying glass is more than enough. Of all the professions & hobbies to dress up as, you recognize the detective the fastest, because the hat and magnifying glass together already tell the whole story.
A whole carnival day or quickly dressed up as a detective
- For a long carnival day, take a detective coat: the men's costume with coat, vest, and hat, or the brown checkered coat with a separate shoulder cape and hat.
- At an indoor theme party, you wear the plain grey cape with a stand-up collar and tie ribbons as a lighter layer over your own clothes.
- If you want to dress up as a detective at the last minute, then a set with a hat, pipe, and magnifying glass is the fastest choice for women and men.
- For children, there is a separate set with a hat and pipe.
- Separate fake pipes are available in cream-white, reddish-brown, and dark brown, and one piece has red foil flames in the bowl.
How complete does your detective outfit need to be, and which size fits?
You choose detective clothing first by how complete you want it: the men's costume includes a coat, vest, and hat in S/M, L/XL, and XXL, but without a pipe, magnifying glass, shirt, or trousers. The brown checkered coat with a hat is available in M-L for men and leaves room for a blazer underneath, while the long grey cape comes separately, without a hat or accessories. For the hats, a deerstalker hat with a brim in front and back and earflaps with a bow is the classic detective hat; a flat cap with one curved brim looks simpler.
Complete a hat and magnifying glass with a coat or cape
If you already have a hat and magnifying glass, then a Sherlock Holmes cape makes it a recognizable English detective, and a Sherlock Holmes costume gives you a coat, vest, and hat all at once. If you prefer to play a secret agent, then combine a magnifying glass with a spy suit for a detective who doesn't stand out.
