Costumes are items that appear in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two which can change Oswald's and Mickey's abilities. Mickey and Oswald can change into the Costumes at the Haberdasher Shop (Hat Shop) on Mean Street South. They can be purchased at the Hat Shop or found in Treasure Chests. All costume pieces can be purchased at the mad hatter, even if the player misses grabbing it.
There are separate costumes for both Mickey and Oswald. Each costume is in 3 pieces and all 3 must be obtained before they can be worn. In Epic Mickey 2 there are 10 costumes (11 costumes in the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC versions) in total, meaning both Oswald and Mickey each have 5 costumes (6 costumes for Mickey in the non-Wii and PlayStation Vita versions).
There is also an optional side quest to get costumes for the Blotlings in Blot Alley. These costumes aren't wearable by Mickey or Oswald.

In The Mad Doctor's Attic, when Mickey thins out the walls on corners, various unknown costumes appear and look as if they could fit Big Bad Pete, or a large sized-character. The costumes are actually Pete's old outfits from various cartoons.
Trivia[]
It is ill-advised towear the Brave Little Tailor Costume while working on Scrap Metal-related task such as fixing broken buildings, as the costume converts salvaged metal into cloth.
The Wizard Hat (part of the Sorcerer's Apprentice costume) is the first costume piece obtained.
Mickey's ears are realigned while wearing Brave Little Tailor, Construction, and Sorcerer costume. For the Football and Firefighter costume, the ears clip through the headgear.
Interestingly, regarding Mickey's ears, when he wears a costume other than his original outfit, his ears become "rigid" and don't appear to "move around" his head to remain in view when he is viewed from different angles.
All of Mickey's costumes are based on his original cartoons while Oswald's are based on other Disney series and one of his own cartoons (Oh What a Knight).
The costumes are helpful depending on which one you're wearing. For example, if you need lots of scrap metal, the construction outfit is the right match.
If a costume piece was purchased before finding it in a chest, some pins will be earned instead.
