An Obelix costume is the disguise of the stout Gaul from the famous French comic series, with black-and-white striped trousers, suspenders and a horned helmet. In this part of the Superhero costume and TV, the Gaul with the striped trousers takes center stage, not the little hero with the winged helmet. The colors are fixed: white with dark blue or black stripes, a green or brown belt with a gold buckle, a yellow helmet and red braids with a red mustache. There are models for men and a version for children.
Striped trousers, belt or complete outfit: what are the options?
- For Carnival, choose the Obelix costume for men that already includes the helmet and belt in the set, so you are ready in one go.
- For a theme party or comic book party, the Obelix costume for men with its striped trousers and suspenders is sufficient, which you complete with separate accessories.
- For a children's party or parade, there is the Obelix costume for children with trousers with suspenders, a belt, a fabric helmet with braids and a mustache.
- If you want to go to the party as a duo, combine a Gaul outfit with that of the little hero from the same series.
Choosing between a separate model and a set with a helmet
What you choose here is how complete the outfit already is. The Gaul costume for men comes with a helmet and belt, while the other men's model focuses on the trousers with suspenders and leaves room to complete it yourself. For men, the range is available in standard clothing sizes; the children's model is available in one size. In the comic, Obelix wears striped trousers, a wide belt and a helmet with horns, and it is precisely these three elements that determine whether your look is immediately recognized. A white T-shirt from your own wardrobe completes the look, as the striped trousers look best with it.
Which parts make your Obelix outfit complete?
The helmet with horns and red braids is the part that makes your look immediately recognizable, so if it is missing from your set, you can find it in the Obelix helmet. If you are going with two, the outfit of his little friend belongs with it, to be found in the Asterix costume. A red mustache and a wide belt with a striking buckle are the little things that make the difference between striped trousers and a real Gaul.
An Obelix costume for Carnival or a comic book party
This costume is mainly for Carnival, a theme party centered around comic books and cartoons, and a parade where you go as a duo or group. Men opt for the striped trousers with suspenders, children for the set with the fabric helmet.
