Tips & considerations
- Comfort, Mobility: you will probably be standing, walking, possibly crouching to get photos – do not get too confined in your clothes.
- Layering: In case it is cold (e.g. on Halloween night), ensure that your core is warm then you can add the racing appearance on top.
- Visibility & safety: In case you are wearing a helmet or a mask, you must be able to see well, and nothing should be in the way of your vision.
- Sizing: In the case of children, choose something that is easy to wear/unwear; do not have tiny bits, which may act as choking agents.
- Authenticity vs. playful: depending on the occasion, you can either be very serious (real-deal jumpsuit look) or playful (funky colors, over-the-top props).

My Recommendation
Suppose, as in your case, you are doing it at a party, or on Halloween:
- In case of time scarcity, and you need something ready: select one of the above buy-options and add to it some props (checkered flag, gloves, sunglasses) to upgrade.
- You are an artiste and you want something more unique or cheaper: go DIY, take a solid jumpsuit or pants+jacket, apply some checkered stripes and a nice patch with your racer name.
- In the case of kids or toddlers, the costume should be comfortable, should be simple to put on/take off, and the fabric should not be a choking discomfort or too tight against the child.
Conclusion:
