This Kids 80s Shell Suit Costume brings the best of retro style to your child's dress-up box. The two-piece tracksuit features that unmistakable 1980s color-blocking in deep purple with hot pink and golden yellow accents - the kind of bold geometric pattern that screams aerobics class and neon pop culture. Made from smooth polyester with a subtle sheen (just like the vintage shell suits mums and dads remember), it's got ribbed elastic at every cuff and hem for comfortable all-day wear.

What's in the Box

Purple tracksuit jacket with white center-front zipper, pink ribbed cuffs and collar, diagonal color-block panels across shoulders and chest, side pockets with pink trim
Matching purple pants with asymmetric yellow chevron stripes, yellow ribbed ankle cuffs, elasticated waistband
Purple headband

Perfect for Book Week if you're tackling an 80s-set story, Decades Day at school, retro dance concerts, or any costume party with a throwback vibe. This shell suit costume also works brilliantly for 80s themed class days and school disco events - the kind of dress-up day that gets the whole classroom laughing and dancing.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The tracksuit has an oversized 80s fit with dropped shoulders and elasticated hems at wrists, ankles and waist. If your child is between sizes, the elastic will take up some slack so their usual size should work - but if they're at the top end of a size bracket, consider sizing up for room to move (especially if they'll be dancing or performing in it).

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The jacket goes on over a t-shirt easily, but the pants are tracksuit bottoms so they'd wear those instead of their regular bottoms. It's a full outfit rather than a slip-on costume piece. Works great as actual activewear for mufti day or sports carnivals too.

Care: Cold machine wash, line dry, no tumble dryer (the sheen can dull with high heat).
