The most popular neon festival outfits in the Netherlands for summer 2025

When looking at summer festival outfits for 2025, we see some clear trends in the world of neon clothing. Different styles suit different festivals, so here's a rundown of popular neon outfits sorted by festival type:

For dance festivals (Free Your Mind, Verknipt, Luminosity Beach)

1. Neon co-ord sets : Matching tops and bottoms in fluorescent colours such as lime, orange or pink. Perfect for Verknipt Festival where the dress code is often bold and colourful.
2. Neon bodysuits : A one-piece in neon yellow or green, combined with a transparent mesh overtop. Ideal for Luminosity Beach Festival in Zandvoort.
3. UV Reactive Items : Clothing that glows under blacklight is a hit at evening and night festivals. These items are made with special fabrics that react to UV light, making you literally glow in the dark.
4. Neon mesh tops : Transparent tops in neon colors, to wear over a bikini or bralette. Airy enough for warm days at Free Your Mind Festival.

For rock and metal festivals (Graspop Metal Meeting, Pinkpop)

1. Neon accessories with black base : Metal bands like those seen at Graspop often inspire dark outfits. Make these more exciting with neon accessories like bracelets, necklaces or laces.
2. Neon band shirts : Band merch in unexpected neon colors instantly makes your outfit more interesting.
3. Neon camouflage patterns : An interesting mix of cool and striking, perfect for the diverse Pinkpop programme.
4. Neon accents on leather items : Think of a black leather jacket with neon details or patches.

For boho and indie festivals (Paradise City, Central Park Festival)

1. Neon boho dresses : Traditional boho style gets a modern twist with neon colors, perfect for Paradise City Festival.
2. Tie-dye with neon colors : Handmade tie-dye shirts or dresses with neon dyes for a unique hippie vibe.
3. Neon crochet items : Tops, vests or bags in neon colours give a playful twist to the classic festival look.
4. Neon Fringes : Accessories or clothing items with neon fringes move beautifully to the music at Central Park Festival.

For festivals like Holland Festival or Lionel Richie concerts, you can opt for subtler neon accents that upgrade classic festival clothing without being too over the top. An elegant dress with neon jewelry or a classic shirt with a neon pocket square can be very stylish.

Summer festival outfits are often completed with practical elements. A neon fanny pack is not only stylish but also keeps your hands free to dance. Waterproof neon boots are perfect for unexpected rain showers, while at the same time completing your outfit.

Neon accessories and make-up to complete your festival look

In addition to a basic neon clothing, you can take your festival outfit to the next level with the right neon accessories and makeup. Here is a comprehensive list of additions that will complete your festival look:

Essential neon accessories:

1. Neon sunglasses : An absolute must for day festivals like Pinkpop or Central Park Festival. A bright yellow, green or pink pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes, but is also a great style element.
2. Glowing Bracelets and Necklaces : These neon accessories are especially useful at night festivals like Sunrise Festival. They are not only decorative but also help you find your friends in the dark.
3. Neon fanny packs : Practical and stylish. Keep your phone, money and tickets safe while dancing hands-free at Free Your Mind Festival.
4. Neon Hair Accessories : From fluorescent hair clips to full-on neon wigs – your hairstyle can be an important part of your festival statement.
5. Neon laces : A subtle way to incorporate neon into your outfit if you don't want to go for a full neon suit right away.
6. Light-up shoe soles : Latest trend for 2025 - shoes with LED lights in the sole that light up with every step on the festival grounds.

Glitter and body paint for the ultimate festival feeling:

In addition to neon clothing and accessories, glitter and body paint will complete your festival look. Festival glitter will be more sustainable than ever in 2025, with biodegradable options that are good for the environment and your skin.

Glitter makeup can be applied in different ways:

• Around the eyes as a glittery eyeshadow
• On the cheekbones for a subtle highlight
• In your hair for a fairytale look
• On the shoulders and décolleté for a summer glow

Glitter powder comes in neon colors that perfectly match your outfit. For best results:

1. First apply a layer of aloe vera gel or special glitter glue
2. Dab the glitter powder on with a brush or sponge
3. Fix with a setting spray for long-lasting results

Bodypaint in neon colours is popular for festivals like Extrema Outdoor Belgium. Some ideas:

• Abstract patterns on arms and shoulders
• Tribal designs that glow under UV light
• Small symbols that match the music style of the festival
• Geometric shapes that complement your basic outfit

For an elaborate statement, you can even opt for a combination of neon body paint and strategically placed glitter. This works especially well at warmer festivals such as Luminosity Beach Festival in Zandvoort.

Practical tip : Always bring extra glitter powder and body paint for touch-ups during the day. Especially on hot days or after a rain shower this can be necessary to keep your look fresh.

Remember that many festivals are outdoors, where you are exposed to sunlight. Always wear good sun protection under your glitter make-up and body paint. There are even special glitter sunscreens that combine protection with festival style!
