It’s time to go all out and join the most spectacular event of the year - carnival. There’s nothing low key about carnival. The floats are magnificent, the music is loud, and the costumes are something else altogether. So what do you wear to such an exciting celebration? It’s all about being bold, creative, and expressing yourself through bright colours, glitter, feathers, and anything sparkly. With that in mind, let’s check out our top picks for the best outfits you can wear to this year's carnival.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are a popular carnival outfit choice for good reason - they’re bright and bold while also being comfortable and cool. With such a large range of designs and styles, you’re bound to find the perfect bodysuit for you. When it comes to carnival, the shinier, the better and you can shine bright throughout the whole day with a green, red, or silver Fever bodysuit. Looking to get into the carnival style with something more colourful rather than shiny? A colourful rainbow or yellow fishnet bodysuit or a neon yellow or pink fishnet body stocking might be perfect for you.

Second Skin Suits

Sticking with the theme of a colourful all-in-one outfit, second skin suits take your costume to a whole new level. When most people think of second skin suits, they often think of plain, single colour suits. Available in red, blue, green, and orange, plain, single colour second skin suits can be bright and bold enough to wear to a carnival. But if you’re looking for something a bit different, second skin suits also come in different designs. Our favourite second skin suit designs for carnival have to be the superhero costumes. Whether you’re more of a batman, iron man, or captain america person, you’ll be loved by the carnival crowds.

Animals

At the carnival, you’ll see many weird and wonderful things. So why shouldn’t your costume also be weird and wonderful? Bring a smile to the faces of everyone you see with a funny animal costume like an ostrich, flamingo, octopus, turkey, or the classic dinosaur costume. Grow some wings and fly to the carnival as a peacock, parrot, or butterfly (chose between yellow, blue, and orange). Looking for a costume that’s less silly but is still fun and animal related? Bring a bit of imagination to the day with an orange or purple dragon costume.

Flapper Girl

If you’re going to the carnival, you need to be ready to dance all day long (and look fabulous doing so). Made for dancing, 1920s flapper dresses put on quite a show with their colour and tassels creating that fun, party atmosphere that carnival is all about. With a large range of colours and styles available, our favourites for carnival have to be the purple, red, and rainbow tassel dresses and the blue and pink sequin dresses.

80’s Neon

The decade of bright neon colours and bold, confident outfits - the 1980s. Channel your inner 80s diva in your costume with disco pink or blue leggings or a neon party animal dress. If disco isn’t for you, maybe the 80s aerobic workout or instructor costume styles are more your thing. Or perhaps you just want to add a hint of the 80s to your fancy dress outfit with bright fishnet gloves (available in green or pink) or leg warmers (available in blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple).

Rainbows

You don’t get more colourful than rainbows. With the carnival goal of being colourful, shiny, and outgoing in mind, when choosing your outfit, rainbow costumes have to be on your radar. From a shiny rainbow dress to rainbow shorts or leggings that can be combined with a gold coin bra or a purple shiny bra, whatever your style, you can bring rainbows into your outfit.

Stand Out Suits

Wearing a normal suit to a carnival would be way too formal and quite frankly, boring. But Stand Out Suits are the furthest from boring that you can get. These suits are extravagant and bright enough to make you look the part in the sea of carnival goers. So get ready to suit up and be as colourful as possible in a rainbow, goldfish, flamingo, sunflower, or watermelon suit (to name just a few).
