Kids Pirate Costumes

Kids Pirate Costumes for Ages 3 to 12, in Five Complete Sets

Our kids' pirate costumes are complete sets for ages 3 to 12: four of the five come with a pirate hat, and the deckhand and captain sets add an eye patch and a foam sword on top. Sizing runs from a 3-4 years jumpsuit up to a deckhand set built for a 10 to 12 year old.

Call it a pirate outfit or a pirate captain costume: the striped shirt, vest, and hat read as a pirate from across the room either way. Ours get worn to Halloween, school dress-up days, class costume days, and birthday parties year-round.

Choosing a Kids' Pirate Costume by Age

For a toddler or a 3 to 4 year old, the one-piece jumpsuit has the striped top, vest, and pants sewn together, so there is one thing to step into before the hat goes on.

From about 4 to 9, the separate-piece sets add a shirt, vest, and pants, along with the parts a child actually plays with: an eye patch and a sword. A plain long-sleeve top underneath keeps a child warm at a cold outdoor party without changing the look. For 10 to 12 year olds, the deckhand set runs its own size to that age, and the captain set goes up to a Large.

Check each product page's own size guide rather than the age label alone, and size up if your child sits between two bands: the extra room makes running around, or a proper sword fight, easier. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks. All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.

For the youngest crew, the Boys Pirate Captain Toddler Costume is a one-piece jumpsuit with the vest and pants sewn in, plus a skull-print hat, a treasure map, and a toy dagger, in 3-4, 4-6, and 7-9 years.

The Kids Basic Pirate Deckhand Costume runs 3-4 through 10-12 years: a seven-piece set with a striped top, vest, pants, hat, eye patch, belt, and foam sword.

Nine pieces come in the Kids Pirate Captain Costume: a shirt, vest, pants, boot covers, a belt, a sash, a hat, an eye patch, and a foam sword, all in lightweight 100% polyester, in Toddler, Small, Medium, and Large.

Cut as a dress instead of a shirt and pants, the Pirate Captain Blue Pink Girls costume comes in blue and pink with a belt, its own tricorn hat, and a toy sword, sized for ages 3 to 9.

Staying inflated for over 4 hours on its own built-in fan, the Kids Pirate Mermaid Pick Me Up Inflatable Costume runs on 4 AA batteries and fastens with hook-and-loop so a child can get in and out quickly, in Small, Medium, and Large.

For a family crew, our pirate costumes for adults match these looks. For a different kind of adventure, kids' wild west costumes sit with the rest of our kids' costume themes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in a kids' pirate costume?

Four of the five sets include a pirate hat: a skull-print hat with the toddler jumpsuit, a plain pirate hat with the deckhand, a hat with an attached bandana with the captain, and a tricorn hat with the girls' set. The deckhand and captain sets add an eye patch and a foam sword; the toddler jumpsuit comes with a printed treasure map and a toy dagger instead, and the girls' set adds its own belt and toy sword. The inflatable mermaid pick-me-up set skips the hat and the sword: it is the costume, the built-in fan, and the battery pack. Check each product page for the exact list.

What is the youngest age for a kids' pirate costume?

Our pirate sets start at age 3. Every product page states the same limit: not suitable for children under 3 years of age, due to small parts. For a 3 year old at the young end of that band, check the size guide rather than the age label alone.

Is there a pirate costume that goes up to age 12?

Yes. The Kids Basic Pirate Deckhand Costume runs a 10 to 12 years size, and the Kids Pirate Captain Costume goes up to a Large. Check the size guide on the product page before ordering for a tall 12 year old.

Are these pirate costumes for girls as well as boys?

Yes. The shirt-and-vest sets work for any child, and the Pirate Captain Blue Pink Girls costume is a dress-based set built specifically for a girls' fit, in blue and pink with its own tricorn hat and toy sword.

Is a pirate costume a good choice for Halloween or a school dress-up day?

Yes. A pirate reads instantly without tying a child to one book or movie character, which makes it an easy costume for any dress-up day. Leave the foam sword at home if the school has a no-props rule.

How do I wash a kids' pirate costume?

The four fabric sets (the toddler jumpsuit, the deckhand, the captain, and the girls' costume) take a cold hand wash and an air dry. The inflatable mermaid costume takes a sponge wipe with the fan pack removed instead.
