This is a detailed description of the items you’ll need if you wish to dress up like Buddy the Elf:

• A green tunic with white trim at the neck and cuffs, and a black belt with a silver buckle
• Bright yellow tights
• A dunce-like cap that has large green and yellow stripes
• Curly-haired wig
• Black elf shoes, which aren’t always included with the costume

You can also choose to wear black shoes or boots instead of elf shoes. The items are made mostly of polyester and faux leather so they are very comfortable, and if you choose a manufacturer that provides only officially licensed costumes, the one you choose will be very detailed and much more realistic.

It’s also a good idea to study photographs from the movie before you start shopping for the costume just to make sure that you get the right costume in the end. The more familiar you are with the “real” costume mentioned in the film, the better the chance you’ll find a realistic costume every time.

About Buddy the Elf’s Look

Buddy the Elf has always thought he was an elf and that he belonged to a family of elves, but it turned out that story was too good to be true. When he finds out that his mother died shortly before he was born and his biological dad doesn’t even know he exists, he decides to travel to New York City and find him.

When he gets to his dad’s publishing company, his father sends him away thinking he is someone else. But eventually, his dad takes him for a DNA test and it is proven that the two are father and son.

Buddy’s elf suit consists mostly of a green tunic, yellow tights, and a green-and-yellow hat, and it’s very comfortable to boot.

Wrapping Up

Elf is a delightful movie that has become an enduring Christmas classic enjoyed by families all over the world during the holiday season. There are a lot of big names in the movie. When Will Ferrell starred in the movie, he had just come off a successful stint on Saturday Night Live.

If you are looking for a costume that brings delight (and a few hearty laughs) to your holiday party, you can’t go wrong with dressing up as Buddy the Elf.
