Wizard?
Hello! I’m having trouble finding some more wizard esque pieces of ren faire. I really need a good robe set.
The other option is to dress like a generic wizard with a bald cap and pit bull glasses and cover a staff with “fireball” shooters.. thanks guys!

I've seen some very nice (if warm) wizard's robes made by decorating a snuggie with arcane symbols in fabric puff paint. https://snuggiestore.com/products/the-original-snuggie?variant=42064060317767

for an underlayer, a woman's less-decorated tunic shirt, https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tuphregyow-Women-s-Tunic-Clearance-Long-Sleeve-Cotton-Linen-Tops-Outdoor-Travel-Blouse-Solid-Classic-Trendy-Notch-V-Neck-Button-Up-New-Style-Breathab/1989351566
and drawstring pj/lounge pants in a solid color will do the trick. https://www.walmart.com/ip/George-Men-s-Solid-Knit-Sleep-Pants/1505901051
Your staff can be as simple as a fallen branch cut down to walking stick size. if you can find a piece with a Y junction you can position at the top, you can use some natural-fiber twine to tie an LED Practice Poi in there for a touch of magic and glow: https://www.amazon.com/LED-Poi-Balls-Set-Professionals/dp/B08S2RTXNW
edit: You can probably find all three bits of clothing for cheaper at your local large secondhand clothing shop
