Feathers, beads, and masks—oh my! The festive celebration of Mardi Gras is just around the corner! In 2024, mark your calendars for February 13. (This also happens to coincide with Galentine's Day, giving you the perfect opportunity to party with the girls!) So, grab your party people and get ready for an awesome time. Mardi Gras is full of colorful parades, lively music, and delicious food. One of the most exciting parts of any Mardi Gras celebration, of course, is the fashion!
So, whether you're attending a local event or traveling to New Orleans for the ultimate experience, here are some tips on what to wear.
What to Wear to Mardi Gras This Year:
Beads
Beads are one of—if not, the most quintessential elements of the perfect Mardi Gras fit. We've found a variety pack of 100 bead necklaces, which are perfect for layering up, throwing, and sharing with friends. You can also get creative and wear them as bracelets or tie them around your waist for a belt.
Mask
Mardi Gras masks are another fun and classic way to accessorize! They're especially awesome if they feature feathers and sequins!
Feather Boa
A feather boa is another great accessory to take your look up a notch!
Casual Sweatshirt
If you're looking for something casual and comfy, but still embrace the celebration, this Mardi Gras-themed sweatshirt could be a great option!
Sparkly Skirt
A fun sparkly skirt like this sequined skirt is a great start to an awesome Carnival outfit!
Fuzzy Leg Warmers
These funky furry colorful leg warmers will take your look to the next level, no matter what else you're wearing! Plus, they can add a little extra warmth if you're celebrating somewhere chilly.
Fun Wig
Wigs are so much fun, especially when they come in crazy colors. This purple wig is awesome for Mardi Gras! It also comes with a wig cap and comb so you can at least start your partying with a smooth and clean look.
Glitter
Who doesn't love a little (or a lot of) glitter, especially for a festive celebration like Mardi Gras?
Button Down
There's something about a button-down with a fun pattern on it that screams it's time to have a good time. You can just tell this Fleur De Lis-patterned shirt is ready to party!
Graphic Tee
This "Let's get cray-cray" graphic t-shirt is silly and punny and perfectly captures the spirit of NOLA! It also makes me crave some good seafood.
Beanie
Keep your head warm with a cute hat in Mardi Gras colors. I love a good beanie, especially when I throw one on after a ski day! (Speaking of a ski day, if you want to celebrate Mardi Gras Colorado-style, check out Winter Park Resort's Mardi Gras celebration on Saturday, February 10, 2024.)
Whether you’re dancing on the streets of New Orleans or just bringing some of that Carnival spirit to your town, Mardi Gras is all about expressing yourself and having a blast. No matter what you're doing, with these fab fashion finds, you're sure to find something perfect for you!
