Book Week Costume – Kids White Lab Coat for Doctor & Scientist

The Book Week costume that covers half the list — this kids white lab coat turns into a doctor, a scientist, a researcher or a professor depending on what your child carries. Sizes S, M and L.

Made from a lightweight polyester and cotton blend, it pulls straight on over school clothes, which is exactly what you want on a parade morning. No fiddly pieces, nothing to lose between the car and the classroom — which is why a lab coat is one of the easy book week costumes parents come back to year after year.

What You Get

Size Guide

Sizing tip: a lab coat is meant to be roomy, so if your child is between sizes, go up — an oversized coat reads as a proper professional one, while a tight coat just looks like a shirt.

Why Parents Choose This Book Week Costume

• Four characters in one - doctor, scientist, researcher or professor, depending on the props
• Wears over school clothes - no full change needed before the parade
• Lightweight poly-cotton - comfortable for a whole school day
• Boys and girls - the same white lab coat works for any child
• Beyond Book Week - science days, career dress-up days, Halloween and everyday role play

Care

Cold gentle wash and hang to dry — a white coat shows everything, so wash it before the photos rather than after.

Please allow slight colour variation due to different monitor settings, and a small measurement tolerance due to manual measurement.

Book Week Costume Ideas

Add safety goggles and a clipboard for a scientist, a toy stethoscope for a doctor, or a book and glasses for a professor — the coat is the costume, the props decide the character.

For Book Week specifically, pair it with the actual book: a child holding the story they're dressed as always lands better at a parade than a costume with no context. It's also one of the simplest DIY book week costume bases to build on if you'd rather add your own details.
