It's Good to Be King

King costumes are a fun way to celebrate Halloween and other special occasions when you just feel like ruling the world. It's a costume that works great because it can be paired with a queen costume and any children can become princes and princesses. Or they can dress up as jesters if they always make you laugh.

The price range for good king costumes varies greatly. For a nice, high quality outfit expect to pay over $100. But there are cheap king costumes available as well. The only ingredient really needed to pull off royalty is a crown. These can be purchased for a few dollars, depending on the kind of crown you want. A robe (either red or royal purple) also adds to the image of a king.

Accessories can also help make the king, whether you want a scepter or a sword.

There are costumes for kings of every age on this page, from newborn to adult. There's even a section for your dog--why limit royalty to humans?

Full King Costumes for Adults

The easiest way to become a king for a day is to get a full outfit that includes at least a robe and a crown. A tunic, available in the first two costumes listed here, finishes the costume.

king of hearts costume
King of Hearts Costume
This is the nicest king costume an adult can buy--but the price tag reflects this. Not just any king, this is the king of hearts. It is available in sizes medium, large, and extra large. It comes with a blue and black tunic, gold and red shoulder sash, red coat, crown, and a gold medallion necklace. All you need to complete this outfit is a black pair of pants and some shoes.

This is the easiest king costume you can find and you don't need to buy anything else to complete it.

King Robe, Tunic, and Crown
If hearts aren't your style but you want a full king's costume, consider the wine colored robe, tunic, and crown. This costume comes in medium, large, and extra large. This full length robe with gold trim and gold crown with faux fur trim makes this a luxurious looking outfit.

King Robe and Crown
If the king of hearts costume is too costly, the king robe and crown set is an affordable alternative. This outfit comes in your choice of red or purple. You'll need normal clothes to wear underneath the road (all black looks good, as seen in the photo) and any accessories, such as a sword or a scepter, would need to be bought separately. This is the cheapest way to have a good looking king costume.

Adult King Crowns

Sometimes you don't need a whole outfit--all you need to convey your kingliness is a crown. Here are a few adult crowns in different styles that you can choose from.

Red King Crown
If you want more than a circlet, you can get this red king's crown. It is adorned with many faux jewels. This hat runs on the small size, so works best for teens and young adults.

Fur Trimmed King Crown
This crown features (faux) fur trim and is the fanciest of all the crowns. It is adjustable for a better fit and is made of 75% polyester and 25% cotton.

Accessories for King Costumes

Sure a robe and a crown may be all you need, but to be truly kingly you should have fitting accessories. Choose one of these based on how benevolent of a king you would be.

king scepter
King Scepter
If you are going for a friendly yet regal look, you should get a scepter to complete your king costume. This is 22 inches long.

king scepter
King Sword
If you fancy yourself more as a warrior king, get a sword instead of a scepter. This 45 inch plastic sword is regal looking, but it is actually the Ringwraith Wtich King Sword from the Lord of the Rings. Remember that this sword is for looks only and might not handle swordplay.

Things to consider when choosing king costumes include budget, looks, comfort, and completeness (do you buy everything or make do with your own wardrobe).

Kids love dressing up as kings or princes. Here's a costume for everyone.

The Creepy King

Of course, maybe you aren't looking to just be royal this Halloween. Maybe you're looking to be creepy. With the burger king costume, you can be both.

burger king mask
Burger King Mask
The best way is to probably just get the mask by itself. This is a full head mask and is made of latex. It's a bit large (just like the mascot), so you might want to put something inside it for a better fit. This is a king that will make everyone laugh.

Buy the Burger King Mask

Another option is to buy the whole outfit, but most people seem to prefer the mask on its own.
