A Joseph costume is a shepherd's robe with a headscarf and a buckled belt, allowing you to play Joseph in the Christmas story. Here you can choose between versions with a blue-and-white striped band across the chest and shepherd models in beige, brown, ochre yellow, or light blue, for men and children. With such a robe and headscarf, you'll be ready for a school Christmas play or Christmas performance without any loose extras; if you're looking for a different role, check out professions & hobbies.
Which Joseph robe should you choose for the Christmas performance or carnival?
- For the Christmas performance, choose a Joseph robe with a blue-and-white striped band across the chest, the look you expect from a nativity scene.
- For a Christmas play with children, there are models in brown with blue-and-white, and in soft yellow or ochre yellow, each with a brown band around the headscarf.
- As a Joseph costume for carnival, you wear a shepherd model with a tunic, long vest, and belt, for example in beige with dark brown or in light blue with a yellow head covering.
- If a full nativity scene is on stage, the wise men belong next to it, and you can find their robes in the three kings costume.
Robe, belt, and headscarf: this is how your Joseph costume becomes a complete outfit
Each Joseph costume here has a robe or tunic, a belt or cord that you tie at the waist, and a head covering with a band, and some models also include a long vest. With the children's model with the striped band, the beige vest is attached to the robe, while with the shepherd models, you wear the robe and vest separately over each other. Men's models range from size S to XXXL, and children's sizes are chosen based on body length rather than age, from 116 cm. A shepherd's staff is not included, so you can arrange that separately if your role requires it.
Combining the Joseph costume with the rest of the nativity scene
If you are performing the Christmas story as a couple, your partner will find the matching role in the Mary costume. A Jesus costume is also suitable if someone in your group plays the adult Jesus, for example at a Bible-themed party.
Ordering a Joseph costume for a Christmas play or carnival
When choosing Joseph clothing, the choice comes down to two things: the striped Christmas look or a shepherd model, and the size of the person wearing it. If you order before 11:59 p.m., the costume will be delivered tomorrow. Choose your size and order the robe that suits your role.
