Irish Costumes

A guide to Irish fancy dress costumes

Traditional Irish costumes

For a classic Irish look, traditional costumes draw from the country’s rich history and folklore. Irish dresses often feature Celtic embroidery and flowing skirts, reminiscent of Irish dance attire. Kilts and tweed vests are also popular, offering a heritage-inspired style for men.

Complete your outfit with Celtic jewellery, Irish shamrock pins, or an Irish clover motif to embrace the spirit of Ireland at any celebration.

Leprechaun costumes: the ultimate Irish outfit

Leprechaun costumes are a St Patrick’s Day favourite, bringing a playful and mischievous energy to the celebrations. The iconic look—a bright green suit, top hat, and gold-buckled shoes—captures the magic of Irish folklore.

There are plenty of leprechaun costume styles to choose from, whether you prefer a classic tailored suit, a fun oversized outfit with exaggerated features, or even a quirky take with a riding leprechaun design. Accessories like red beards, shamrock bow ties, and pot-of-gold props complete the look, making it perfect for parties and parades.

St Patrick’s Day costume ideas

St Patrick’s Day is about embracing the Irish spirit, and the right costume can make the celebration even more fun. Whether you go all out in a leprechaun suit, keep it classic with a traditional Irish dress or kilt, or opt for a simple green outfit, there’s a look for everyone.

Add festive accessories like shamrock bow ties, Irish clover headbands, and green suspenders to elevate your costume. A splash of face paint or a novelty hat can also add charm to your St Patrick’s Day look. Check out our blog for more St Patrick’s Day costume ideas.

Irish costume accessories to complete your look

The right accessories can take your Irish costume to the next level. Leprechaun hats, red beards, and green wigs create a standout St Patrick’s Day look, while shamrock bow ties, suspenders, and striped socks add a fun, festive touch.

For a simple yet stylish upgrade, women can pair an Irish dress with Celtic jewellery or a clover headband, while men can add a top hat and oversized gold-buckled belt. Kids will love playful extras like glowing shamrock necklaces or mini pot-of-gold props—making their costumes even more magical!

Finding an Irish costume that suits your budget

Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly Irish outfit or a high-quality premium costume, there are options for every price range.

For an affordable look, a simple green t-shirt, shamrock accessories, and face paint can create a festive vibe without breaking the bank. Mid-range costumes, like leprechaun suits and traditional Irish dresses, offer a more detailed and authentic look while remaining cost-effective.

Consider deluxe leprechaun outfits with tailored fits, intricate embroidery, and high-quality fabrics if you want a premium costume. Investing in durable accessories like hats, wigs, and belts ensures your costume lasts for future celebrations.
