Occasionally, the Capital City likes to disappear behind the mask. Whether it’s sequins, tutus, beards or tiger stripes, here’s your guide to dressing to impress at five of Baton Rouge’s biggest costumed events. And yes, costumes are almost always a must here.
10/31 CONSORTIUM HALLOWEEN PARADE
Tattered clothes, frazzled hair and zombie makeup add up to a quick and creepy costume on the day of ghouls.
LSU FOOTBALL GAMES
Diehard Tiger fans get their gameday looks custom-made. It’s the kind of signature style that gets you featured on the jumbotron.
SPANISH TOWN PARADE
Don’t just settle for pink—dress to the theme. For the 2017 Spanish Town Mardi Gras theme, “Slippery When Wet,” we went full hot-pink mermaid princess.
WEARIN’ OF THE GREEN PARADE
We like to be straightforward with the green we choose to wear—namely, classic leprechaun duds.
SURREAL SALON SOIREE
For Baton Rouge Gallery’s annual celebration of bizarre art, may we suggest mixing and matching all your costumes? The result is uniquely strange—in this case, part- mermaid, zombie, leprechaun and serious LSU fan.
