elf costume

Pointed-ear attire

An elf costume is an outfit designed to resemble the mythical pointed-eared creatures of folklore or their pop culture descendants.

Most commonly refers to Christmas elf attire—green and red clothing with pointed shoes and a jingle-bell hat—worn for holiday events or retail work: The mall Santa's helpers wore matching elf costumes.

May also evoke Tolkien-style fantasy elves with flowing robes and prosthetic ears.
