If you’re heading to our neon-themed party at SQLBits 2025, you’ll want an outfit that glows as brightly as your personality! Neon fashion is all about bold colours, striking contrasts, and electrifying vibes. Whether you’re aiming for retro, futuristic, or just outright fun.
Here are some neon fancy dress ideas:
Cyberpunk
Channel your inner Tron or Blade Runner with a cyberpunk-inspired neon outfit. Think:
LED-lined jackets or light-up accessories
Neon face paint or UV-reactive makeup
Black base clothing with neon trims
Cyber goggles, neon visors, or futuristic masks
Perfect for those who want to look like they just stepped out of a sci-fi movie!
80s Neon Nostalgia
Nothing screams neon like the outrageous 80s! Go full-on retro with:
Leg warmers, oversized blazers, and high-waisted shorts
Fluorescent leggings and headbands
Neon graphic t-shirts or slogan tops
Big, bold sunglasses and chunky accessories
Pair this with some crimped hair, and you’re a walking Miami Vice episode!
Dancefloor
If you want to own the dancefloor, a full neon look is the way to go.
Glow-in-the-dark body paint or UV-reactive tattoos
Neon clothes (think highlighters!)
Fluffy neon leg warmers and fingerless gloves
Glow sticks, light-up sneakers, and flashing accessories
The more lights, movement, and colour, the better!
Galactic
Take your neon outfit out of this world with a galactic-themed ensemble:
Metallic and neon bodysuits
Glittery space makeup and glow-in-the-dark lipstick
Alien antenna headbands or holographic capes
Starry LED capes or glowing planets as accessories
Classic
If you want a simple yet striking neon look, opt for:
A full neon tracksuit or jumpsuit
Fluorescent tutus, fishnet gloves, and bold statement jewellery
A neon blazer over an all-black ensemble for a pop of colour
UV-reactive face paint and neon hair extensions
The key is to mix and match bright colours for maximum impact!
Final ‘glow-up’ tips!
Go UV-reactive – If the event has black lights, UV-reactive outfits will make you glow like a star. (We will!)
Mix textures and layers – Neon fishnets over leggings or a mesh top over a glow bodysuit? Yes, please!
Accessorise wisely – Neon wigs, face paint, LED shoes, and glow sticks can make or break your look.
Confidence is key – No matter what you wear, own it and have fun!
So, whether you’re channelling 80s vibes, cyberpunk or galactic a neon fancy dress outfit is your chance to shine… Literally! Which neon look will you go for?
