Gearing Up for Renn Faire and Medieval Parties

Pirate and Renaissance Costumes for Fairs and Summer Festivals

Come Shop In-Store at Chicago Costume

Festival season is the perfect time to build a look that feels unique, layered, and full of character. At Chicago Costume, we invite you to come shop in-store and mix and match pirate, Renaissance, and fantasy pieces with our extensive costume and vintage-inspired clothing selections.

Whether you’re heading to a Renaissance fair, medieval festival, summer street event, or themed party, our team can help you build a look from scratch using costumes, accessories, and wardrobe pieces from both of our Chicago locations.

Build Your Look with Pirate Costumes

Pirate costumes are a festival favorite because they’re flexible and easy to personalize. Start with a base outfit and build your character from there in-store.

Popular pirate pieces include:

  • Pirate coats, vests, and tops

  • Ruffled shirts and layered looks

  • Sashes, belts, and scarves

  • Tricorn hats and head wraps

  • Boots and accessories

  • Props like swords, pirate guns and potion bottles

  • Capes and Cloaks

At Chicago Costume, you can mix traditional pirate pieces with vintage-inspired tops and vests from our Fullerton location for a more authentic, layered look.

Renaissance Costumes and Medieval Style

Renaissance and medieval costumes are all about texture, layering, and character storytelling. In-store, you can try on different combinations to build a noble, warrior, bard, or village-inspired look.

Options include:

  • Medieval gowns, dresses, and tunics

  • Doublets, and cloaks

  • Belts, pouches, and period accessories

  • Layered skirts and rustic fabrics

Our Montrose location offers a wide variety of costume pieces, making it easy to explore different styles and assemble a complete Renaissance or medieval outfit.

Fantasy Details: Fairies, Elves, and Festival Magic

For a more magical festival look, add fantasy elements that bring your character to life.

In-store you’ll find:

  • Fairy wings in different sizes and colors

  • Elf ears and fantasy prosthetics

  • Glitter, shimmer, and face gems

  • Flower crowns, tiaras, wands and headpieces

  • Makeup and body accents

  • Lord of the Rings costumes and accessories

These accessories pair perfectly with both Renaissance and pirate-inspired outfits.

Mix, Match, and Create Your Own Style

One of the best parts of shopping in-store is the ability to combine pieces from different categories. A pirate vest can be paired with vintage-style tops for a more authentic, lived-in character. Fairy accessories can transform almost any outfit into something magical.

  • Fullerton: Great selection of vintage tops, vests, and unique wardrobe pieces

  • Montrose: Wide variety of costumes, accessories, and festival-ready wings

Our staff is always available to help you mix pieces and build a complete outfit that fits your event and your style.
