New Year's costumes for adults: Pexels A New Year's costume party is a great opportunity to transform into your favorite movie characters, fatal beauties and strong heroes. Looking for fresh costume ideas for adults? Authors of books and fashion magazines told how to create stylish masquerade outfits for men and women for the New Year 2022.
Carmen
The fatal beauty is the favorite image of many girls. The Spanish gypsy Carmen, the main character of Georges Bizet's opera of the same name, appeals to passionate women with a strong character.
Do you want to embody the image of an expressive rebel? Author of the book “DIY Carnival Costumes. From a complex idea to a five-minute costume” Elena Krasovskaya recommends paying attention to the characteristic features of the character, since the image will be incomplete without auxiliary details. It is impossible to imagine Carmen without these elements:
- long bright dress with a wide skirt and sleeves;
- catchy accessories and decorations;
- bright makeup.
To recreate the image of the thief of hearts, do this:
- Choose your clothes. The main attributes of a gypsy dress are a fluffy multi-layered skirt, wide sleeves, and bright colors (red, dark burgundy). The best fabrics for an outfit are lace, velvet, silk, satin.
- Wear statement jewelry: huge hoop earrings, large necklaces and chain bracelets decorated with coins.
- Decorate your hair with red roses.
- Apply eye-catching makeup: line your eyes with black, highlight your eyebrows, paint your lips with red lipstick.

Joker
Batman's antagonist Joker evokes unpleasant emotions in few people. Many people sympathize with the slightly crazy but charismatic character with a difficult fate.
If you are planning to try on the image of the Joker, use these tips:
- Find or buy a three-piece suit in a bright color - pink, red, purple or orange. Wear a green shirt and a fancy tie under your suit.
- Do a characteristic make-up: whiten your face, draw caricature eyebrows and lips in red in the shape of a long smile, shade the eyelids and area around the eyes with dark blue.
- Dye your hair green or wear a green wig. To ensure that the paint is easily washed off after the party, use a tint without aggressive components (hydrogen peroxide or ammonia).

The Snow Queen
The Snow Queen looks luxurious, emotionless and elegant. To transform into a cold lady you will need:
- snow-white or blue outfit;
- crown;
- accessories.
To create the image of the Snow Queen, do this:
- Choose a long, elegant dress. This could be an evening or wedding dress. Modernize the dress, remove excess decoration and add details, such as a fur cape.
- Wear jewelry and accessories: guipure or satin gloves, long pearl earrings, a necklace. Pay special attention to the headdress - the crown. It can be made from cardboard and decorated with beads and stones, or you can purchase a ready-made stylish decoration at an accessories and carnival costume store.
- Do your makeup in cool colors. Whiten your face with light powder, highlight your cheekbones with dark brown blush, and apply cool, dark shades of lipstick to your lips.

Rules for choosing clothes for a party
When planning a holiday, be sure to consider a number of nuances:
- For an evening dress, beauty is an important condition. Do not confuse it with everyday items, clothing for the office or sports. The main thing is to follow the evening format. This applies to dresses from famous brands from expensive boutiques, and inexpensive items on sale.
- The ideal cocktail dress for a party is a little above the knees, which does not mean “little black”. Fashion designers have created a huge variety of models belonging to this category. They differ radically in color, texture, finish, cut.
The style of evening wear is determined by the following factors:
- appearance (hairstyle, makeup, manicure);
- party status;
- category of invited guests;
- venue of the event.
Many stylists are sure that you don’t need to spend a lot of money on something too expensive just to go out in it once. It is much more convenient to choose an evening dress that can then be easily transformed by adding a scarf, cape or decoration in the form of a necklace or belt.
Regardless of the theme of the evening, the most important rule for the fair sex is to create elegant femininity. Avoid absurdity in your outfit so that it does not accidentally turn from festive to masquerade, even when you are invited to a costume ball. Modest elegance in clothing and a small mask will make the girl a mysterious stranger, in contrast to a flashy cat costume, for example.
It is very important to look appropriate. Therefore, before you go, for example, to a “hipsters” party, you need to familiarize yourself in detail with the fashion trends of that time. A fluffy knee-length skirt, gloves with high bells, a stylish blouse, classic pumps, and neatly combed hair will look great on any beauty.
For a corporate party, more formal outfits are appropriate, especially before 5 p.m., later it is customary to wear cocktail dresses and suits (preferably a skirt with a blouse).
For a club party, dress brightly and elegantly.
Viking
A strong, warlike Viking symbolizes brute strength. To recreate his image, follow these recommendations:
- Find dark wide-leg trousers in your wardrobe. Wrap your legs below the knee over your trouser legs with dark ribbons made of leather or other dense material. Wear rough boots.
- Tie a wide leather belt or wear several narrow belts over your trousers.
- Make a fur cape. Elena Vasnetsova, in her book “The Complete Household Encyclopedia,” states that the faux fur in a product should be positioned in such a way that the direction of its pile lies strictly downward. If the pile on the faux fur is short, then it can be cut like regular fabric, folded with the right side inward. Faux fur with long pile is cut in the same way as natural fur: a cut is made along the reverse side, cutting only the base fabric, after which the individual parts are moved apart.
- Outline the eyes with black, grow a beard. Complete the look with a toy sword.

Foreign voyage
New Year's Eve is a time of miracles. So why not feel like a resident of a completely different, distant and exotic country. For example, Japan or China. Or a much closer European - German, French, English.
Where to celebrate? The location in this case is not as important as the atmosphere. An atmosphere in the style of a particular country can be created in an office, cafe or even at home. There would be a desire. Comfortable upholstered furniture and light music as a background are welcome.
How to set the table? If all the guests decide to be from the same country, then on the table there should be national dishes familiar to its cuisine. And if everyone chooses where they come from, then take something colorful with them. For example, rolls from Japan, croissants from France, sausages from Germany.
What to wear? In order to come up with a national costume, you need to study the traditions or customs of a particular country in advance. It wouldn’t hurt to learn a few phrases in your “native” language - this way the image will become much more reliable. The main thing is that guests do not simplify their task, but think through the outfit carefully. Arab sheikhs, oriental beauties, liberated Germans... On this night they will all certainly find a common language.
What to do for fun? For example, a disco in the style of a particular country, national board games. Or maybe each guest will conduct some kind of funny quiz about their “new homeland”.
Gangster
The charming criminal gangster is a contradictory image. He is dangerous, but very attractive. To transform into a mafioso, you will need the following wardrobe items:
- bright shirt;
- printed tie;
- loose-fitting suit or wide-legged trousers;
- a felt fedora or a retro tweed cap, like the main character of the series Peaky Blinders, Thomas Shelby.
A hard look and a toy revolver or Thompson submachine gun will help complete the look.

Disco 90s
The following nostalgia is a great idea for the New Year 2022. A comeback to another reality - the times of Tetris, Santa Barbara, VCRs, the first players and mobile phones.
In general, for greater credibility, it is better to find a room with Soviet elements in the interior. The party atmosphere won't be quite 90's without a rug on the wall! This is a required element. You can style the room using a cassette recorder, magazine clippings, or garlands of CDs.
Since the theme of New Year's Eve is 90's disco, we'll have a dance! The playlist contains a hodgepodge of tracks from Ruki Up, Tender May, Combination to Bon Jovi and Nirvana. And, of course, we rock out to the hits What is love and Barbie girl.
Guests will enjoy both active games such as rubber bands, jump rope and blind man's buff, as well as calmer ones - cards, Tetris. Competitions for the best dance, knowledge of the stars and fashion of the 90s, forfeits and Guess the melody competitions remain relevant.
What to wear to such a party? The image certainly contains the boldest colors, acidic shades, a mixture of textures and styles. Multi-colored tights and leggings, shiny skirts, minis, Adidas tracksuits, a crimson jacket, gold chains, huge hoodies, T-shirts, whatever you find - it’s all yours.
The 90s are always a noisy feast, and guests are unpretentious in food. Therefore, on the table of such a party there are usually sandwiches with cheese and sausage, cold cuts, pickles, chips, crackers, beer, and port wine. For dessert - Snickers, condensed milk, dragees, Turbo and Love is chewing gum, Sprite, Fanta, cola, new for the 90s.
