Dress Up As Disney's Aladdin (Street Rat Costume)

Screenshots of Aladdin's street rat clothing
Are you looking to dress up as Aladdin? Not really a fan of sewing? Well, I've put together an easy list of bits and pieces that will turn you into the perfect mangy street rat! 

Aladdin's most recognisable costume is his city outfit, the raggedy street rat/thief costume. While he does have a fancy Prince Ali costume, you're not going to be able to put that together easily (it's basically just a version of the Sultan costume, and can be bought online).


The Costume Aladdin's most iconic and easily recognisable costume is quite simple.


This Aladdin doll is a
pretty good costume
 reference!
There is no official version of this costume for sale, so you'll have to make it by hand, commission it or put it together from bits and pieces.

  • He wears whitish or yellowish salwar (or chalwar) pants (you can also look for harem or afghan pants). There is supposed to be large square yellow patch (a.k.a a 'hobo patch') on his pants, just below the right knee. You'll have to add this yourself.
  • A little purple waistcoat or vest.
  • A dark yellow or red belt of cloth (you can easily use a cummerbund) wrapped around his waist
  • A red fez. As everyone knows, fezzes are cool.

If you get cold easily or don't dare walk around bare chested and sexy looking, you can add a pale yellow or white shirt underneath.



The Purple Vest

The Style A740NP High Quality No Pocket Unisex Uniform Vest is pretty much perfect for Aladdin. You can also find it listed as the DayStar 740NP No Pocket Unisex Uniform Vest

If you don't like that one, then there's always the Desert Prince Shirt and Vest.






The Belt

  • This Red Satin Mens Cummerbund is a safe and popular choice.
  • Alternatives: cummerbunds or plain cloth wraps. Can be red, yellow or orange
The Pants

Aladdin wears loose, white (or off white) trousers. The waist doesn't matter, as the sash wraps around the top. You'll need to sew (or stick) your own diamond yellow patch on below the right knee.

If you can't find actually accurate trousers, then the closest option is probably the so called "parachute pants", if you can find them in white (they tend to come in the wrong patterns and range in bagginess, so some are perfect and others are completely wrong. The women's ones are usually the closest).





Aladdin Costumes for Women!

If you want to dress up as a female Aladdin, here are a few more clothing choices (obviously you can still use the items suggested above).






The Hat

Choose A Red Fez Hat!
Honestly, it doesn't really matter what you pick. A fez is a fez. His hat didn't have a tassel, so you can just cut that off when you get the hat.
