How To Rock That Tropical Party Like A Pro

Tropical outfits will always be in style, no matter the weather!

For the girls missing summer, there is nothing more exciting than a tropical party.

Have you been invited to a new tropical theme party this Christmas? Here is how you can get the best-dressed tag without question!

Tropical Outfit Ideas To Rock The Theme

Without any further ado, let’s jump into the outfit ideas!

1. The Floral Route

Okay, we know this is the most basic idea!

But here we are!

We are not asking you to buy a floral outfit and call it a day, but rather take the floral DIY route. Recently, in pop culture, we see the pop of flowers and the overexpression of these blooms, whether it is a Midsummer reference or Cassie’s final scene from Euphoria.

No doubt both women looked beautiful, even if the backstory is a little scary. So, you are likely to take the beauty route here!

There is no such thing as too much flower in a tropical theme party. DIY big, if needed, fresh flowers on your dress, hats, tiaras, accessories, etc. With the right vibrant makeup, you will look nothing short of the spring queen.

2. Add Some Whimsical Elements

Ladies, we are here to tell you that princesscore is back. This means you can add a whimsical element to every outfit, so why shouldn’t your tropical outfit be the same?

  • For this, you can wear a plain floral dress and then bring your inner Moana outfit.
  • Or, you can go the complete whimsical route and wear a coconut bikini embellished with flowers and a beach tutu skirt.
  • Tiaras are making a comeback, and this time, they are bigger and better.
  • Bedazzled bikini tops are also quite chic now.

3. A Panama Hat

The panama hat is out and about having its best life among the tropical outfit shelves.

  • It gives you the perfect old money on a beach-look. You do not even have to go floral. You can go beige and cream this time.
  • Like an empty canvas, you can decorate now, whether it is with ribbons or bedazzled stones.
  • It is unisex and will go with any outfit.

If you do not want to make much effort with your dress, simply a midi floral dress, ballet flats, and Panama hat will get you the perfect beach party look. Enter the party with a straw bag and a glass of Sangria to go totally on theme.

4. Shoes Make A Difference

Do not neglect your shoes when it comes to tropical outfit themes. Afterall, a mismatched shoe is the worst thing about a theme party.

You cannot be wearing your best Hawaiian shirt and have your athletic shoes.

If your outfit is breezy, so should your shoes. Try out loafers, men’s flip-flops, and even 

5. Make Use Of Your Kaftan Dress

Kaftans are not just a comfortable pick; they are the trendiest tropical outfit out there, especially if you were able to get a Kaftan from your last Bahama vacation.

All they need to do is embellish the Kaftan:

  • Vibrant tropical jewels are one way to do so.
  • Did we mention the floral tiara?
  • Junk jeweler and statement pieces will also look great with the outfit.
  • If your kaftan is a cute short one, get your beach shots out.

If you need that cinched effect, then add a corset belt to your kaftan.

6. Wear Your Best Shades

Who cares if it is an evening party? If it says tropical theme, your sunnies are a must. Get your best summer beach shades and match them with your tropical outfit. 

You need not put too much effort into your outfit if you have these pairs to add to them.

A floral-printed shirt, your favorite groovy shorts, fancy flip-flops, and sunglasses are enough to make you the showstopper of the party.

7. Try The Boho Chic Style

Let’s bring our 2012 Tumbler feeds back because, let’s face it, there was nothing more stylish than our boho chic tropical outfits.

  • The junk Jewelleries.
  • Crochet crop tops.
  • Torn shorts &
  • A straw hat.

If the torn shorts are not your style, you can go boho chic with beach maxi dresses and bring out your ethereal sea goddess. Dawn, a little fake tan to totally rock the Golden Goddess character!

8. Try a Hawaiian Theme Party Outfit

If you have ever been on a Hawaiian holiday, you know there is nothing more tropical chic than this outfit choice.

It doesn’t get more coconutty and floral than this. However, if you wanna give a little subtle vibe, then dawn your ‘Aloha’ shirt and vacation shoes.

Khaki slacks or shorts are also on top of the list when it comes to Hawaiian vacation outfits.

Note: A fair disclaimer: we are not asking you to culturally appropriate any Hawaiian traditional outfits. Rather, pick the clothing items that you would wear in Hawaii if you were going on a vacation.

9. Dress Up Your Baby

Do you want to put too much effort on yourself?

Why not dress your baby in the cutest tropical outfit? Green tutus and floral crops. You can add some jewelry as well; just ensure they are safe for the baby, aka not a choking hazard.

Just be your baby’s accessory at the party!

You could be dressed as a coconut tree because it wouldn’t matter. Your baby is going to snatch all the adorable comments away.

Some baby tropical outfit ideas are:

  • Pair of shades.
  • Floral jewelry and tiaras (if you are using natural flowers, check whether your baby is allergic to them).
  • Crop floral bandana tops.

Now, you are good to go!

Things To Keep In Mind

Here are the things to keep in mind when going to a tropical party.

  • Stray clear of cultural appropriation from any tropical country.
  • If you are also dressing your child, keep spares. They wouldn’t want to wear it all day.
  • Check if your hosts are also opening a pool. If they are, carry a swimsuit to prevent any FOMO.
  • See if you are allergic to any tropical fruit or drinks. Hosts might serve them at the party.
  • If the tropical party is during winter, carry appropriate winter garments for the journey.
  • Lastly, if your outfit still looks bland, try out a vibrant makeup look.
