* Red Trousers: Matching red pants.
* Black Belt: A wide, black belt with a large, shiny gold buckle.
* Red Hat: A conical red hat with a white pom-pom at the end and a white fur trim.
* Boots: Black boots, sometimes with white fur trim.
* Accessories: A Santa costume is often completed with accessories to create the full look:
* White Beard and Wig: A long, white, curly beard and matching wig.
* Round Glasses: Small, round, wire-rimmed glasses.
* Gloves: White gloves.
* Santa Sack: A large sack, typically red, for carrying presents.
Variations and Types
While the classic red and white suit is the most common, there are various styles of Santa costumes available, ranging from simple and budget-friendly to high-quality, professional-grade suits.
* Traditional Suits: These are the most common and often feature a pullover jacket, pants, and a hat. They are usually made from materials like felt or velour.
* Deluxe and Professional Suits: Designed for professional Santas, these suits are made from higher-quality materials like rich velvet, wool, or satin. They are more durable and detailed, sometimes including a full-length coat, vest, and boots.
* Victorian Santa Suits: Inspired by historical depictions of Father Christmas, these costumes may feature different colors like green or a darker red, and often have a longer, more elaborate robe-like coat.
* Mrs. Claus Costumes: A female counterpart to the Santa suit, these costumes typically include a long red dress or skirt and jacket with white fur trim, a bonnet, and an apron.
* Novelty and Humorous Costumes: You can also find fun variations like "Surfing Santa," "Elf Santa," or different colored hats (e.g., pink or green).
