A stag do outfit should make a statement - whether that’s looking effortlessly cool, matching the whole group, or making the groom look utterly ridiculous (in the best way possible). From stylish, wearable pieces to outrageous costumes, here’s where to shop the best stag do outfits - no last-minute panic buys required.
The Best Stag Do Outfit Ideas for All Kinds of Groups
Whether you’re going full Peaky Blinders or just need an airport-ready fit, these are the best stag do outfits to shop now.
1. The Effortlessly Cool Stag Do Outfit
(For the guy who wants to look good in the group photos)
For the groom who refuses to be seen in anything inflatable or neon, a stag do outfit can still be stylish without sacrificing the fun. Think laid-back but put-together - the kind of outfit that works for the whole weekend, from airport pints to the big night out.
The easiest win? A co-ord set. Matching shirt and shorts combos scream ‘I made an effort’ without trying too hard, while a breezy linen shirt and tailored shorts combo feel effortless (ideal for Ibiza stag dos). If the trip involves a club, opting for a well-cut polo and dark-wash jeans will always prove an easy win.
Where to shop: Reiss (for premium linen), ASOS (for co-ords), River Island (for easy styling), END Clothing (for designer edge).
2. The Themed Stag Do Outfit
(For groups going all out - think Ibiza whites, golf days, or Peaky Blinders nights out)
If your stag do has a theme, it requires full commitment from everyone - nothing half-hearted here. The right outfit will take the group photos from standard to legendary, whether you’re channelling Peaky Blinders or heading straight to the golf course.

3. The Funny Stag Do Outfit
(For the groom who has no say in the matter)
If there was ever a time to embrace the ridiculous, a stag do is it. Whether the goal is to mildly embarrass the groom or fully commit to chaos, here are the best funny stag do outfit ideas that’ll get everyone talking (and probably pointing).
- The Classic ‘Made You Look’ Costume
Want to dress up without actually dressing up? Think t-shirts printed with tuxedos, six-pack abs, or lifeguard uniforms. Effortless, hilarious, and won’t get you turned away from bars. - The Inflatable Nightmare
Nothing says “I’m here for a good time” like an inflatable dinosaur, sumo wrestler, or jockey costume. Bonus points for anyone who struggles to fit through doorways. - The Legendary Throwback
Time to dig into the archives. Baywatch red swimsuits (shorts for the shy ones), WWE wrestling legends, or a full ‘90s boyband co-ord - nostalgia is always a winner. - The ‘Groom is the Star’ Look
Put the groom in a wedding dress, a full baby romper, or anything that guarantees he’s the centre of attention. The rest of the group? Matching best man tees or tuxedo-print pyjamas. - The Team Uniform
Matching football kits, Hawaiian shirts, or head-to-toe neon - because nothing bonds a stag group faster than dressing identically in public.
Where to shop: ASOS (for last-minute Hawaiian shirts and printed tees). Party Delights (for classic costumes and retro fancy dress). Etsy (for wigs, hats, and “Groom to Be” sashes). Amazon (for budget-friendly costume ideas), all suited for literally every theme.
4. The Best Stag Do Fancy Dress Costumes
(For the groom squad who love a theme)
If the stag do theme is pure chaos, then a full fancy dress costume is on the cards. We’re talking throwback nostalgia, pop culture moments, and absolute mayhem in outfit form.
- 80s retro: Neon tracksuits, mullet wigs
- Movie characters: Top Gun pilots, Anchorman suits
- TV-inspired: The Inbetweeners school uniforms, Alan Partridge, The Office
Where to shop: Party Delights (for themed costumes), Etsy (for all the bits and bobs you need), ASOS (for accessories).
5. Where to Find Affordable Designer Stag Do Outfits
(For the guy who's always labelled "best dressed")
Not every stag do outfit has to be something you'll never wear again or a little bit silly. If you’re heading somewhere stylish, or just want to look good in group pics, investing in affordable yet high-quality pieces you can wear time and time again is the way to go.
- Smart casual: The go-to dress code for a reason. Think sharp chinos paired with a crisp shirt or a polo. A well-tailored blazer from Charles Tyrwhitt or Ted Baker can easily take you from day to night, while Reiss offers sleek, minimalist designs for a contemporary, understated vibe.
- Themed but luxe: For those who want to blend luxury with a theme, channel the elegance of a polo-clad golfing group with Ralph Lauren, or go for a sophisticated nautical look with a Barbour jacket layered over a striped tee and navy trousers. These brands let you add subtle personality to your stag do outfit while ensuring you never feel too embarrassed.
Where to shop: Reiss (for premium staples), Moss (for budget-friendly tailoring), and Charles Tyrwhitt (for standout stag do pieces with a smart edge).
