The carnival season is in full swing and you're still not sure how to style the classic little black dress you always wear for special occasions? Don't worry, you might not need a new dress at all, because the right carnival accessories will give your outfit a new, unique character. Let the splendor of the 1920s inspire you this season!
The carnival season is a wonderful time for wild, unrestrained outfits. Colors, sparkles, and ornate accessories intertwine, moderation is unimportant, and the rule of 'less is more' is temporarily suspended. During the carnival, modest styling is hardly suitable, so stock up on rhinestones, glitter, sequins, feathers and feel like a movie star from "The Great Gatsby". Indeed, these flamboyant outfits and the 1920s, during which the story and movie take place, are the biggest inspiration during the carnival season. Elegance, class, yet also exceptionally ornate accessories make this an absolutely magical time for fashion.
Sparkling outfits, the 1920s, and inspiration straight from the catwalks
Vintage-style carnival accessories have never been so coveted as they are this season. The return of fanciful, richly decorated hair accessories, and the aesthetics promoted by fashion houses like Gucci for several seasons, have effectively resulted in a widespread fashion for vintage accessories. But which ones are the most valuable and will work best during carnival time?
Above all, headbands with shiny sequins and protruding feathers! They will completely transform your outfit. The 1920s were a time of fun, fashion revolution, and dressing up for every occasion. Today, when there are fewer and fewer such occasions, it's worth letting yourself go a bit more during carnival parties. An embellished headband, a string of pearls or even several strings, feathers in your hair, or shiny brooches in large size—there's no such thing as too extravagant an outfit. If not during the carnival, then when?

If ornate hair accessories aren't your thing, go for accessories that will transform the outfit itself. Tassels, shiny material, and even large bows in the baroque style are a great way to shine on the carnival dance floor or at a private party with friends. Bows work well with dresses, but you can also stylishly pair them with a women's suit, tying them, for example, in updo hairstyles. A girlish accent intriguingly breaks the formal and masculine character of a suit.
Besides a bow, brooches which are currently the most fashionable alternative to classic jewelry, will also look great with a suit. The latter never goes out of fashion, so if you have large diamond earrings in your box, the carnival is the best time to finally wear them.
Sparkling outfits, the 1920s, and a return to the opulence of the Baroque era are aesthetics that invariably associate with the New Year's time of the year. It doesn't take much to make your carnival outfit gain a unique character and perfectly fit into the latest trends. There are so many accessories and possibilities that everyone will surely find something that best suits the occasion, style, and personality. Remember, at the carnival, more means better.
