Every college girl knows that theme parties
can be some of the most fun events to attend during your four years. And while
the parties themselves are great, the act of dressing up and creating a costume
can often be the highlight of the night. It’s important to have some basics for
mixing and matching. Read to see our top picks!
Animal Ears
There’s a reason animal ears are number one
on our list of essentials! They’re cute, take up virtually zero space, make
your outfit costume-like in two seconds, and are super easy to style. It suits anything
with a “wild” or animal theme (e.g. hunter and hunted, jungle), or any party
that requires a quick and cute costume.
Another sexy pick, your camo piece can be
styled with almost anything you already own. Grab a cheap camouflage shirt or
jacket from a thrift or Army-surplus store, add jeans and boots, and you’re
good to go!
Neon is making its marks in fashion. Since
they’re your biggest piece, your leggings will be the focal point of your outfit.
But remember to go equally bold and bright with the rest of your look if you’re
dressing for a 80s or blacklight theme!
Trendy oversized non-prescription glasses
work notoriously well for a “nerdy” look, while sleek or cat-eyed styles give
off a sexy vibe when paired with pencil skirts and up-dos. Even if you already
wear real glasses and could just use those for party, having a cheapie pair of
fake-outs insures that your actual lenses won’t get lost or broken.
A total classic, the ridiculously tacky,
brightly-colored mini dress deserved a place on this list simply because it’s
inexpensive, works for a variety of themes, and is easy to style for a variety
of party themes.
Plain White Tee
It suits Graffiti/highlighter themed
parties.
Cowboy Boots
Another easy essential that you likely
already own, cowboy boots add a fun and flirty “country” vibe to any outfit.
Whether you tuck your skinny jeans into them or simply let the toes and heels
peek out under frayed flares, you’ll create an obvious nod to country-girl
style.
So… what do you think?! What are your theme
party essentials? Do you have a collection of go-to’s for special events? Did I
miss anything?
