Buy adult, kids', toddler & baby pirate Halloween costumes online. Want a homemade trick-or-treating outfit instead? Learn how to dress up like a pirate for Halloween.

In this article, learn how to assemble a basic pirate costume for Halloween or find out where to buy pirate Halloween costumes for adult men and women, kids, toddlers, and even babies.

How to Dress Like a Pirate – Homemade Costume Ideas

Want to look like Captain Jack Sparrow without breaking the bank? There is no need to buy a pirate costume if you already have most of the necessary components on hand.

Here is a list of commonplace pirate attire to scrounge up for a low-cost homemade pirate Halloween costume:

  • Bandana – The bandana should be worn under a hat.
  • Black gloves – These are optional, but would be a nice touch to the ensemble.
  • Black jacket – Any black jacket will do, but a fitted jacket with a tail and/or sleeves that are slightly too long would be perfect.
  • Black or blue vest – This is to be worn over the white shirt. Almost any solid dark color would work here.
  • Black pants – Tapered pants are what pirates like. These might be hard to come by, but in a pinch, consider pulling regular or wide-leg pants in around the ankles.
  • White shirt – Any white button-up long-sleeved shirt will suffice.

A few items are not so common and may need to be purchased to complete the look. These include a sword, boot covers, eye patch, pirate hat, and beaded hair extensions. In a pinch, a black baseball cap worn backwards might be a good substitute for a pirate hat, but nothing can beat the real thing.

Basic Pirate Costume for Halloween – Captain’s Hat, Eye Patch, Boots

Anyone who wears all of the above-mentioned things on Halloween will have the ultimate pirate costume. But what if you have an extremely limited budget and still want to dress up like a pirate for Halloween?

To pull off a signature pirate look so no one mistakes the costume, consider finding a captain’s hat at all costs. This one accessory can make virtually any outfit into a pirate costume. A captain’s hat is the one with a triangular shape and wide, curved brim. An eye patch is also a tell-tale sign that someone is dressed like a pirate. Wear the hat and/or eye patch with black pants and a button-up white shirt. For added effect, tuck pants into a pair of black boots and wear a vest over the white shirt.
