Carnival is about being unapologetically YOU!

Whether you love to go bold or keep it covered, the choice is yours. Purchase your own basewear in any of the six vibrant colours, giving you the freedom to express your unique style.

Comfort is key—so choose the base that makes you feel confident, empowered, and ready to celebrate. There’s no one way to do Carnival—just your way.

2. CHOOSE YOUR COSTUME COLOUR

Your Choice, Your Colour, Your Carnival!
Choose from eight vibrant colours, each with its own vibe:

Orange – for the overly excited and full of energy
Blue – for the boldly blooming and coolly confident
Pink – for the playful and powerful
Purple – for the royal and radiant
Red – for the fierce and fearless
Green – for the wildly vibrant and full of life
Yellow – for the sunny and unstoppable
White – for the free-spirited and glowing

Comfort is key. Confidence is everything.
Pick the base that speaks to you—and wear it your way.
Carnival is about being YOU!

🎉 Carnival is a Vibe — and It’s for Everyone! 🎉

Choose from two amazing women’s styles, along with options for men, girls, and boys—because Carnival is a family affair. Anyone can participate, and everyone belongs.
