Bullfighting Costumes

Become a bullfighter for the day

The bullfighter costume is one of the most recognisable outfits inspired by Spanish tradition. Also known as a “suit of lights”, it is characterised by short jackets, striking embroidery and fitted trousers that recreate the classic image of the bullfighter, the leading figure in the bullring.

In this collection, you’ll find different versions of the bullfighter costume, from traditional styles to more affordable or fun options, designed for adults, children and babies.

Why is a bullfighter outfit called a suit of lights?

The name “suit of lights” comes from the shine created by the metallic embroidery and sequins that decorate the authentic bullfighter outfit. These details reflect sunlight or arena lighting, creating a very distinctive sparkling effect. Since the 18th century, bullfighters began wearing gold or silver embroidery that made the outfit stand out dramatically during performances, which is why this attire became popularly known as the suit of lights.
