Napoleon Bonaparte suit children

The Napoleon Bonaparte costume for children is a four-piece historical imperial outfit with a black jacket, white knee breeches, separate leg coverings, and a bicorne hat. Your child can wear it as a French military commander during carnival, at a history-themed party, or for a school project about France. A simple white shirt with a high collar, like the one worn by the model in the photos, fits under the jacket.

Jacket, breeches, leg coverings and hat in one

• The set consists of a jacket, breeches, two leg coverings and a hat.
• The jacket is black with a high red collar and red lapels, featuring a yellow leaf pattern and gold-coloured trim along the edges.
• The front has two rows of gold-coloured buttons, and the lapels are printed with green laurel branches.
• The breeches are white and end below the knee, where the black leg coverings create the look of riding boots.
• The costume is made of 100% polyester and is available in children's sizes 128 cm (approximately 5 to 7 years), 140 cm (8 to 10 years) and 158 cm (11 to 13 years).
• Hand wash only; do not bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

Why does this emperor wear his hat sideways?

The two-pointed bicorne hat is the distinctive feature that allows everyone to immediately recognise the French emperor, precisely because he wore it sideways while other officers wore it with one point facing forward. This costume captures the silhouette of that era: a short jacket with lapels, narrow knee breeches and tall boots, evoking the military image of France around 1800. This makes the costume suitable for a history lesson or presentation as well as for carnival, where an imperial figure will stand out among pirates and knights. Choose based on your child's height rather than their age, as the size refers to your child's height.

How to complete the Napoleon costume

Wear black shoes or boots underneath so that the leg coverings continue in one dark line. A white scarf or a shirt with a high collar completes the historical look, and a toy sword in hand gives your child the air of a military commander. If you want to go further, a pair of white gloves or a glued-on side queue will work well with this theme. For a group theme, combine the costume with other historical or French outfits.
