How To Dress Like Prince Eric

1. TUNIC – Start this simple costume with a dark brown lace-up tunic.

2. SHIRT – Under your shirt, we recommend wearing a black thermal shirt for that extra-tight fit.

5. PANTS – Pair your vest with some Renaissance-style banded-cuff trousers.

6. CLOAK – Add a red cloak with an extended collar and you are almost there!

7. BOOTS – Finally, these pirate cosplay boots round out this look perfectly.

This is a great outfit idea for anyone with nostalgic feelings for the simpler times that Prince Philip embodies. It also helps that this look is super easy to make and instantly recognizable.

Prince Philip Costume: FAQ

What do you wear for Prince Philip’s Sleeping Beauty costume?

Start with a dark-brown tunic over a fitted black top, then add dark trousers, boots and a black belt with a gold-tone buckle. A red cloak and feathered prince-style hat complete the look. The cloak creates the strongest color accent against the otherwise muted outfit featured in this guide.

Can you make Prince Philip’s tunic from a plain shirt?

An oversized dark-brown shirt can suggest the tunic when worn over a close-fitting black top and cinched with a belt. A simple lace-up neckline adds a period-style detail if you want it. Keep the lower edge long enough to overlap the trousers and preserve the layered silhouette beneath the red cloak.

Who pairs with Prince Philip for a Disney couples costume?

Aurora is Prince Philip’s natural costume partner, creating a recognizable Sleeping Beauty couple. Maleficent adds a dramatic antagonist for a larger group. Keep Philip’s red cloak, brown tunic and hat visible beside their distinctive dresses and headpieces, so his simpler clothing still reads as a specific character from the film.

Is a sword essential for Prince Philip cosplay?

A sword is optional for this Prince Philip outfit. The red cloak, feathered hat and tunic establish the character without a handheld prop, especially alongside Aurora. If you prefer a simple party costume, concentrate on those clothing details and the belt rather than adding accessories you will need to carry.

What boots can replace dedicated Prince Philip costume footwear?

Plain brown or black boots can replace the pirate-style pair shown in this guide. Choose a tall, relatively simple shape and tuck the trouser cuffs in neatly. Removable boot covers are another option if your existing shoes are comfortable, helping suggest the period silhouette without buying footwear for one event.

How do you keep Prince Philip’s cloak from overwhelming the outfit?

Choose a lightweight red cloak that ends above the floor and sits comfortably across the shoulders. Keep the front open enough to show the brown tunic and gold-tone buckle. The red fabric should frame the outfit, while the hat and visible dark layers preserve the rest of Philip’s recognizable shape.
