Severus Snape Costume Guide

Dress like Severus Snape with a black robe, banded trousers, costume wig, and official wand.

ABOUT SEVERUS SNAPE:

Severus Snape is known for his cold demeanor and mastery of Potions. As the head of Slytherin House, he often displays bitterness and sarcasm, particularly towards Harry Potter, whom he resents due to his history with Harry’s father, James. Despite his antagonistic role, Snape is revealed to be a deeply flawed hero, motivated by unrequited love for Lily Potter. His bravery and loyalty ultimately emerge as he sacrifices himself for the greater good.

How To Dress Like Snape

1. ROBE – Start your costume with a full-length black cloak like the one featured here.

2. SHIRT – Next, you will need an extra-long black shirt with a button-down closure.

3. PANTS – These banded-cuff pants work well with the rest of this look but any black trousers will be just fine.

4. COLLAR – In earlier movies, Severus featured a clergy-style white collar just visible beneath his shirt.

5. WIG – No need to look anywhere else, this is by far the best Severus wig we could find!

6. WAND – As is this officially-licensed 1:1 replica wand, this really is a must-have for any true Harry Potter fans.

7. SHOES – Finally, complete your outfit with a pair of pointed-toe boots and you are ready to party in style!
