Red, yellow and green as carnival colours
Red, yellow and green are the colours of carnival in Limburg, and anyone wearing them immediately shows which party they belong to. Many people know leg warmers from the 80s, when dancers and aerobics fans wore them over their leggings. In this colour combination, the focus shifts from sport to party. You wear them in the parade or in the pub to show your colours.
What clothing makes the red-yellow-green look recognisable?
A plain base makes the red-yellow-green look most recognisable, because then the stripes stand out. Think of black leggings or tights with a short skirt or trousers over them. Repeat the three colours higher up on the body, for example with a scarf, a hat or face paint in red, yellow and green, so that your outfit forms a cohesive whole from head to toe. If you wear boots, let the yellow cuff peek out just above the shaft.
Bring these striped leg warmers home and simply wear the carnival colours around your legs during the parade.
