Pirate Costumes For Everyone – Pirate Children, Pirate Men and Pirate Women

Pirate costumes have long been a favorite of children everywhere, the pirate life seems like it’s full of adventure when you’re a child so haul up the Jolly Roger and away on the high seas we go! Tales of the notorious pirates from history such as Blackbeard and Henry Morgan have captured boys’ imaginations. Girls like the idea of dressing up as female pirates like Mary Read or Anne Bonny famous pirates who could fight with the best of them!

After the success of Pirates of the Caribbean starring heart throb Johnny Depp it seemed that even adults wanted to dress up in pirate costumes and they started showing up at every fancy dress event around.

Do you want to wear a pirate costume this year? If so then you’ve come to the right place so with a ‘ho ho ho and a bottle of rum’ lets head out to sea for some privateering!

Make Your Own Pirate Costume

The first step to making your own pirate costume is by getting a pair of black pants that are quite baggy. If you are planning on wearing the black pants again for another occasion then you’ll also need a pair of boots to tuck them into. If the pants are an old pair, however, then you can cut the bottoms of the legs off in a zig zag pattern just below the knee – Ahoy Me Hearty’s – you’re on your way!

The next step is to get a white button-up shirt to wear that is also baggy – think of Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and you’re on the right track! If you have any of the ruffled shirts from the 80s New Romantic era at the back of your wardrobe then that would be perfect. Leave a few buttons undone and have it half tucked into your pants so that it looks a little messy.

Next you’ll need to get a black or red scarf and wrap it around your waist so that it looks like a sash. You’re looking scarily Buccaneer-ish already.

Most pirates seem to like their vests so you will want to add one to your fancy dress outfit, plain black or red seems to be the best.

What about footwear? Well most pirate captains wore boots, but some of the other pirates would be barefooted so if you don’t possess any boots then you’ll need to go barefoot as I’ve never seen a pirate in shoes!

Now you need to get a pirate bandana to wear around your head, hat is optional, but the bandana is a must have. If you have pierced ears then gold hoops are the ear-rings of choice for a swashbuckling pirate of the high seas.

Finish your outfit off with a toy sword (a real one will get you in a lot of trouble!) and an eye patch and you’ve completed your very own pirate costume.

Now sometimes it is just plain simpler to buy yourself a pirate costume and we’ve catered for that as well with a great selection of men’s pirate costumes, women’s pirate costumes and children’s pirate costumes.

Pirate Costume Accessories

Add The Finishing Touches To Your Pirate Costume

Accessories are an important part of the Pirate Costume, some costumes come with the eye patch, bandana and hat whereas others don’t. What are essentials for a pirate? In my mind an eye patch and gold ear rings are classic pirateware. Then there’s a parrot on the shoulder, a hook for a hand and a pirate’s hat to consider when you’re privateering.

Of course one of the important things that a pirate should never leave home without is his sword or cutlass and a telescope is pretty important. If you’re a lucky pirate you’ll own your very own copy of a treasure map so that you can steal someone else’s bounty or find your own if you’ve hidden it somewhere.

Pirate Weapons

Choose Your Weapon of Choice

Now personally I always think of pirates with cutlasses but depending on when your pirate was riding the high seas he may have had a hand gun of some description. Check out possible weapons to help complete your pirate costume.

Other pirates are happy to stick with a bandana of choice such as these ones –

Pirate Teeth

My daughter was given a book when she was in kindy called Pirates Don’t Take Baths, she loved that book and read it over and over again. If pirates don’t take baths then they certainly don’t clean their teeth which is why pirates (as a whole) don’t sport pearly white teeth instead they have teeth rather like the ones in this pirate accessory set –
Pirate Kit

This accessory set includes – Skull Eye Patch, Bandana, Earing, and Rotten Teeth!

Pirate Eye Patch

Something which really screams pirate to me is an eye patch – Arrrgghhhh!
Pirate’s Eye Patch & Earring Set

There are lots of different eye patches that you can choose from but this one comes in a set with a pirates earring as well – aarrrrh!

Pirate Navigation Essentials

In order to be a successful pirate you’ll need to be able to find the buried treasure and this means you’ll need a telescope, compass and above all a treasure map!

Part of a Pirate Costume

If you’re looking for a fantastic pirate jacket then this one will serve you well, you just need to add the rest of the outfit in order to pull off your pirate costume, but what a romantic looking pirate you’ll be!

The way this grey and black coat hangs and swings as you walk combined with the brass buttons that don both the front and the cuffs really make you think of the romantic notion of the pirates of old. It definitely has the look of the classic pirate costume that has been romanticized over the years and should bring any single man a fair bit of attention from the ladies!

Aaarrrr! Me hearties!

It’s a pirates life for me!

Regal Pirate Captain Costume

This regal looking Pirate Captain costume has a look of a classic Captain Hook about it, doesn’t it.

Pirate Costumes for Children

Children Love Dressing Up As Pirates!

What could be better than to dress up as a pirate? Whether it’s for Halloween, a fancy dress party or just for play Pirate costumes are fun! I used to love playing pirates when I was younger and my daughter loves it now so buying some kid’s pirate costumes makes great sense. Old fashioned piracy fires up a child’s imagination…….it can also teach them skills such as map reading.

As my daughter has gotten older we’ve moved from the ‘treasure maps’ of the back garden to showing her our map book and getting her to find our route to wherever we’re going on the weekend.

NOTE: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases – more information below

Playing pirates can also foster a love for geography as my daughter loves her globe and atlas and even has a world map on her wall. She plots sailing journeys on them and when she sees a little island or country that sounds interesting we look it up and find out a little bit about it. Playing pirates has never been so educational!!

Pirates of the Seven Seas Dress Up Chest

No Longer Available

As every wannabe pirate knows you keep your treasure in a chest so where better to stow your pirate costume and accessories than in a pirate’s treasure chest?

Set includes: Hat, headpiece, vest, belt, eye patch, play pistol, fake teeth, expandable telescope, 2 earrings, hook hand, 3 tattoos, sword, 12 play gold coins, coin pouch, treasure map and treasure chest.

Everything in this set is all that your child will need to dress up as a pirate anytime they want, which will probably include when you want them to go shopping with you!!

Having a complete set means that you have your eye patch, treasure map and telescope all of which are essential for pirates, now you can just wear your jeans or trousers and add these accessories, but there’s just something about the old buccaneer type of pirate that looks so ‘real.’ Let’s have a look at some of the amazing child’s pirate costumes that are on offer.

I hate that this dress up chest is no longer available, but I’ve kept it on this page as it’s a great idea and one that you could compile for yourself as an awesome gift idea for a pirate loving child. Find a treasure chest you like and add all of the things listed above in it, or make up your own pirate dress up needs.

Pirate Costumes for Boys

Aaarrrgh Me Hearties!

Kids Pirate Costume

If your child wants to ride the high seas as a swashbuckling pirate then this costume will help him board his ship in style! The costume includes the brown leather look vest with attached white shirt. It also includes the striped pants and the boot tops. Also included is the hat, waist sash and belt.

You can purchase extra accessories to add to this outfit (or raid the dress up chess if you have one), items such as an eye patch and a cutlass would look awesome.

More Pirate Costumes for Boys

Ahoy There Me Hearties, we’ll be the best pirates at any party!

Pirate costumes for boys come in a range of sizes from toddlers right through to a large child’s size so click on the costume you like to see the sizing that’s available and don’t forget to throw in a few salty pirate sayings as you’re transforming your little boy from an angel (?) into a pirate.

If there’s one thing cooler than dressing up as a pirate it’s being the captain! Here are a couple of pirate captain costumes for you to choose from……..don’t they both look cute!

Pirate Costumes for Girls

Anything boys can do girls can do too, grrrrrrhhhh!!

It’s not just boys who dream of being pirates, many girls do too! My dd wanted to have a pirate party when she was 4, despite the fact that most of her (girl) friends at that time were still having princess parties……she liked princesses and dolls, but being a pirate was cool because ‘… pirates get to see the whole world mummy – do you know how awesome that is?’

As far as parents go, who can resist some of these cute pirate costumes for girls and as they get older they can try on a gothic take on pirates in some of the ‘older’ pirate costumes for girls.

Pirate costumes for girls can look the same as the boys or as cute as this next one, they can even look Goth when you get into some of the teen pirate costumes for girls.

Pirate Costume Hats

Pirate Hats

If there’s one thing that will really complete a pirate costume it’s the perfect pirate hat. Generally speaking we think of black hats with a skull on the front of them, but these are really only derived from the Napoleonic pirates and pirates have reigned over the seas for many different eras. There are black pirate hats and brown pirate hats, there are feathered pirate hats as well as pirate hats in different designs.

Once you’ve picked your main pirate costume design, whether you’ve made it yourself or brought/hired one then you need to select a hat to suit. So ‘ahoy there me hearties and welcome aboard the Jolly Roger Pirate Hat Page!’

You can purchase the pirate hat featured by clicking here.

What Do Pirates Wear On Their Heads?

Now some pirates just wear a bandana, some wear a bandana and a hat and others wear a headband or combine a headband with a hat. Some pirates just wear a hat, there really is not definitive answer to the question %u2013 what do pirates wear on their head?

Pirate Hats for Children

Pirate Boots Look Great

Wearing the right pair of boots can really help pull a pirate costume together, but you can also wear pirate boots to make a statement with any outfit. When it comes to the pirate boot look you can achieve it in two ways; buy a pair of pirate boots or buy a pair of boot cuffs.

Pirate boots can really add a touch of ‘sexy’ to an outfit and I wouldn’t be surprised if Lady Gaga didn’t bring out a video wearing pirate boots with just some lingerie!

Men can also carry off the pirate boot look, I mean let’s face it we all went weak at the knees when Johnny Depp did it!!!

Ladies Pirate Boots

The key to a good ladies pirate boot seems to be in the use of buckles and/or ribbons. Aside from a pirate costume these boots can be worn with a skirt or jeans for a high end look that will make the menfolk go – wow!

If you don’t want to buy a specific pair of boots for a pirate costume you have a couple of choices – use boot cuffs/boot covers – you can see some examples a little further down the page OR get a pair of sexy black boots that are either laced up boots or have buckles and they’ll work beautifully with your pirate costume.

Check out these boots and see what I mean……

I must admit I do like the idea of boot cuffs because once you’ve got a comfortable pair of boots to wear you can change their look depending on what you’re wearing and you know you can wear them all night without worrying about not being able to walk the next day – or is that just me??!!??
