A Santa Claus costume is a red outfit with white fur trim, consisting of a jacket, trousers, belt and hat, often with a beard and boot covers. The range goes from five-piece budget sets to velvet Santa Claus costumes, inflatable models with a fan and a blue Santa Claus costume, for women, men and children. If you are not looking for a complete costume but separate hats or dresses, check out Christmas.
Which Santa Claus costume is right for which Christmas occasion?
- For a Christmas drink or Christmas dinner at the office, choose a Santa Claus costume with a jacket, trousers, belt and hat, sometimes with a shirt and tie included.
- For a long day as Santa Claus, for example at a gift-giving event, there are professional and deluxe sets with a beard, wig, glasses, gloves and leg covers.
- For a silly Christmas party, the inflatable models and a Christmas tree candy costume are the striking choice.
- For children taking part in the Christmas festivities, there are costumes to fit their height with a jacket, trousers, belt and hat.
- For a Christmas shirt instead of a full costume, there is a shirt with Santa Claus figures in women's and men's sizes.
What makes a Santa Claus outfit recognizable?
The Santa Claus we know wears red and white, a wide black belt with a buckle and a full white beard. This look is reflected in almost every costume here, with the velvet versions having a softer, deeper red fabric than the flannel budget costumes. When choosing, pay attention mainly to two things: the size and how complete the costume is. Men's sizes range from S to XXXL, women and men also find combined sizes such as M-L, and for children's sizes you choose based on height, where 140 cm is approximately ten years and 158 cm approximately fourteen years. A Santa Claus costume XXL is therefore not a separate type but a size within the regular range. A budget set usually contains a jacket, trousers, belt, hat and beard, while a professional Santa Claus costume also includes glasses, a wig, gloves and leg covers.
Where do you start with your Santa Claus clothing?
If you already know that it can be humorous instead of classic, start with the silly Christmas costume: there are striking, cheerful versions that start conversations at a Christmas party. If you are looking for the classic red and white, start with your size and see what is included with the costume.
A Santa Claus costume for Christmas or a Christmas drink
You wear a Santa Claus costume during Christmas: at the Christmas dinner at home, at a staff party or when you are handing out the presents. Men have the widest choice here, women find costumes in combined sizes and children choose based on height. If you really want to look like Santa Claus, a costume with a beard and wig helps more than an extra accessory.

Frequently asked questions
How do I dress up as Santa Claus?
You start with a red costume with white fur trim: a jacket, trousers, wide belt and hat form the basis of almost every Santa Claus costume. Then you complete the Santa Claus look with a white beard and optionally a wig, glasses and gloves. The deluxe and professional sets already include these. Boot covers or leg covers over dark shoes provide the boot look without you needing real boots. Choose the size based on your regular clothing size, and for children based on height.
Why is buying a Santa Claus costume more advantageous?
You can use your own Santa Claus costume again every year, while renting costs money each time and you are dependent on what is available in your size at that moment. There are five-piece budget sets as well as velvet and deluxe costumes that last for years, so you can choose how much you want to invest. If you wear the costume more often, for example for a club or a company party, then a complete set with a beard, wig and glasses is the most advantageous choice because you do not need to buy anything extra. For one evening a budget costume with a jacket, trousers, belt, hat and beard is usually enough.
