When it’s your birthday why wouldn’t you want to feel like a princess?
The whole day is about you already and you’re going to be showered in gifts and love (Also check out some Vintage Valentines Gifts To Give Your Loved Ones), so have an outfit ready that really reflects that princess feeling!
The beauty of this idea is that there are so many different princesses you can base your look on!
Most people might go for a Disney Princess-inspired look, but if you want something a little more creative, try out some different princess’ styles!
One of the most iconic princesses still to this day is the late Princess Diana. She was known as a fashion icon, so why not base your outfit on something she would wear?
If you want something a little more fantasy based, why not create a stylish look that is based on Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones? Sure, she’s technically a queen but it still works for this idea!
When your birthday rolls around, you want to spend the day feeling happy and cheerful, and one of the best ways to get that mood going is to wear bright colors!
This idea is especially effective for people who usually wear a lot of neutral colors. It’s a great way to make your birthday a bit more special while also standing out and looking stylish.
While an all-neon look will definitely make a statement, you don’t have to be so bold with your colors if you don’t want to. Pastels work just as well!
Double denim, shoulder pads, legwarmers… the 80s was known for its quirky fashion and that’s why it’s a perfect outfit idea for your birthday!
If you’re looking for an outfit that will definitely help you stand out from the crowd on your special day, then this theme might be just what you’re looking for.
You can really play around with the different aesthetics of the decade as well. You’ll end up with so many different 80s looks (Check out How To Recreate Glamorous 80s Looks), you’ll have the next 10 birthdays sorted!
You can even mix it up a bit and create an 80s-inspired look with a bit of a modern twist, so it isn’t as over the top, but it purely depends on how bold you want to be!
Try something a little different by going for an outfit that is inspired by space, aliens, and a distant future!
For this look, you’ll be using items of clothing that are all silver in color and if you’re feeling extra adventurous, make your make-up look like an alien too!
The all-silver look works with practically any kind of clothing and it’s a great way to make a stylish statement!
If you’re going out for your birthday or you’re going to be spending a bit of time at a club, the “future alien” look also works really well in that setting.
This is a birthday outfit idea that you can really have fun with!
A-Listers are known for their fashion trends, so why not channel them for yourself? Have a look at some of the most iconic celebrities’ outfits and try channeling them yourself!
Whether you want to recreate a red carpet look or you just want to recreate another outfit worn by your favorite celebrity, don’t forget to add a bit of your own uniqueness and flare to the outfit to really give it a bit of edge.
The beauty of this idea is that there are so many celebrity looks you can base your own on, so you won’t run out of inspiration any time soon!
This one is similar to the “dress like a princess” idea, but instead of a princess, you’ll be dressing up like a character from a film, game, or tv show.
If you’re into cosplay already, then you’ll love this idea and you can be as over the top as you want! If you don’t want to look like you’re cosplaying on your birthday though, you can still go for this look, just a lot more subtle!
You can wear the same colors as a character, or take their look and recreate it so it makes sense in a real-life situation. The only limit to this idea is your creativity and imagination!
Regardless of how you go about it though, when you get this one right, the results are absolutely amazing and you’ll have a beautiful birthday outfit!
If you work in a formal setting and it just so happens to fall on your birthday, this can make dressing up in a stylish birthday outfit a little bit harder to achieve… but we’ve still got you covered!
Channel your inner girl boss by putting together a sleek suit that is not only incredibly formal, but it’s also incredibly stylish! You will still absolutely turn heads in this look but you also won’t be breaking the dress code.
While black is always the color of choice for a sleek, girl boss suit, if you’re feeling adventurous and confident, you can definitely mix it up and wear whatever color suit you fancy!
So you have pretty girly princesses, but if you’re feeling a bit more alternative on your birthday, then why not go for a punky, rocky princess look instead?
You can go all out and channel your inner Avril Lavigne for this look- from tartan skirts to heavy eyeliner, all the way to colorful streaks in your hair!
This look is a great one for anyone who wants to look stylish on their birthday, but also feel a little rebellious.
Don’t forget to pair your final outfit with some converse or Doc Martens to really complete the look and feel like the rock princess you truly are!
There isn’t actually any rule that says you have to dress up fancy on your birthday. And there is definitely no rule that says if you want to be comfy, you can’t be stylish too!
Sometimes, comfort is the most important thing when it comes to having a good time on your birthday, so really play into that comfort with your outfit!
You can find a cute jumpsuit that will turn heads or if you want to go down the ultimate comfort route, try a really nice tracksuit instead!
Pair your comfy look with some stylish sneakers or flat shoes and enjoy your birthday in the comfiest way possible.
Another great outfit design for your birthday is something that is both shiny and sparkly! Sparkly outfits go hand in hand with birthdays, and they are a great way to shift the focus onto you.
Your birthday is one of the only days of the year when you can be extreme with your outfit choices and totally get away with it, so you may as well take advantage of that!
You can make the whole outfit sparkly if you’re feeling a bit extra, but if you want it to be a bit more subtle, just make one part of the outfit sparkly while the rest just compliments it as nicely as possible.
Conclusion
There is not such thing as “over the top” when it comes to your birthday, so you really want to take advantage of this free pass to create the best birthday outfit you can! (see also ‘9 Of The Best 21st Birthday Outfits To Try Today‘)
