Safer Sex Ball style guide: The Real McCoy
Don’t know what to wear yet? We’ve gone to the shops and had a look for you
With two Safer Sex Balls this year, the Carnival themed on the 7th and the Snow Ball on the 10th, we popped over to the Real McCoy on Fore Street where all ticketholders get 10% discount.
Colourful carnival
How to stand out in a barely-there outfit? Go for a pop of colour in the spirit of carnival and team a pretty basque with heels and stockings.
Carnival masters
Take circus as your inspiration for the carnival ball and go for a either a ringmaster or dancer look. With top hats, whips, feathers, petticoats and tails- you can go masculine or feminine on this one!
Are you fur real?
Don’t freeze at this years Snow Ball by mixing up white underwear with festive furry outerwear. Lads, feeling a little shy or mysterious? A traditional mask dressed up with a bow tie nods to the ball wear tradition with a sense of humour.
French Revolution
Turquoise and blues also work for the Snow Ball theme. This look features adorable frilly 1960s bed jackets over sequinned basques for a sweet finish.
Snow bunnies
Can under garments turn into a ball dress? Yes. We have also embraced the chic go go dancer of the sixties with white plastic platform boots, boa and a fluffy beret.
