15. Inflatable Sumo Wrestler
Classic and instantly recognizable, this over-the-top costume turns you into a bouncy, belly-forward sumo master—great for party antics and photo ops. This is a great idea too for a fun trio Halloween costume.
I think this one is so fun with the LED lights which makes it perfect for evening trick-or-treating. This would be cute as a couples costume too if you add a Moana costume alongside it since the chicken is a funny character in the Moana movies.

FAQs
How do inflatable costumes work?
Inflatable costumes come with a small built-in battery-powered fan that constantly blows air to keep the costume inflated while you wear it. Just turn it on, zip up, and it puffs up in seconds!
Are inflatable costumes comfortable to wear?
Yes, most inflatable costumes are lightweight and have good airflow from the fan, but they can get warm if worn for a long time. It’s best to wear light clothing underneath.
Can I sit down in an inflatable costume?
It depends on the design. Some costumes, like ride-on styles, allow more movement, while full-body ones (like the T-Rex) can be bulkier. Always test it out before heading to your event.
How long do the batteries last in an inflatable costume?
Most costume fans run for about 4–6 hours on a fresh set of AA batteries. Bring spares if you’ll be wearing it for an extended period.
Can inflatable costumes be worn in the rain?
It’s not recommended. Most inflatable costumes are not waterproof, and getting the fan or battery pack wet could cause damage or stop the inflation.
Are inflatable costumes safe for kids?
Yes, as long as they’re age-appropriate and supervised. Look for kid-sized options with good visibility and ventilation. Make sure the battery pack is secure and inaccessible to small children.
How do I store an inflatable costume?
Simply deflate it, fold it neatly, and store it in a cool, dry place. Be gentle with the fan and wiring when packing it away.
Can I wash my inflatable costume?
Most inflatable costumes are spot-clean only. Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt or stains, and avoid submerging any part of the costume, especially the fan.
