Our Recommendations
What to wear to ZoukOut 2023: Malibu barbie
There’s no better time than ZoukOut 2023 to bring out your West Coast attitude. If you’re into the California girl look, here are some beach party ensembles inspired by the iconic Malibu Barbie. These Zoukout 2023 outfit ideas feature dopamine-inducing hues that will instantly get you into the mood for partying!
1. Pink outerwear + bikini top + shorts
Malibu Barbie is all about colours that pop, and this Barbie pink Long Sleeve Top And Mini Shorts Set (available on Choco Clothing) fits the bill. It’s giving model off-duty vibes – effortless, pared-down, but stunning no less. There’s also an electric blue option available so you can go matchy with your BFF! We recommend pairing the bright outerwear with a neutral, muted bralette or bikini top to strike a balance.
2. Bright yellow ruffle slit dress
Bold, vibrant hues like this Backless Ruffles Slit Dress (available on kliou Official Store) in bright yellow are back in full force. Featuring the backless detail, along with slits that add a ruffle detail, this dress screams “we’re ready to party”. Pair it with simple accessories and plain shoes with contrasting colours to let the dress do all the talking!
3. Amber ombre co-ord set
When it comes to what to wear to ZoukOut 2023, it’s impossible to not include a bright outfit. After all, it’s going to be a sunset to sunrise event, so why not dress in similar hues? Besides, the RelaGala Amber Printed Set (available on RelaGala Official Store) proves that you don’t have to spend a bomb to look good at a beach party. The flowy ends of the skirt also gives a relaxed silhouette, marrying comfort and style. If you’re all about a fuss-free ensemble, this ZoukOut 2023 outfit idea might just be it.
What to wear to Zoukout Singapore 2023: Boho chic
Inspired by the colourful bohemian fits seen at Coachella? ZoukOut 2023 is your chance to go all out with offbeat fits. From hippie patterns to free-spirited maxis, here’s our take on this timeless style that originated in the late 60s.
4. Long cardigan + crop top + high waist shorts
A long cardigan with eclectic prints, basic crop top and high-waist shorts – these make for the perfect recipe for a bohemian outfit idea for ZoukOut 2023. The Boho Women’s Vintage Floral Print Long Cardigan (available on Chew Chong01) will be a memorable addition to your music festival wardrobe. Although boots will be a great finishing touch, we don’t recommend wearing them as you’re probably going to dance barefoot in the end.
Pro tip: Wear cheap shoes like flip flops to ZoukOut 2023 as they will be filled with sand or get stepped on. You might also end up taking them off and you don’t want to risk losing your Stan Smiths or ruining your Hermes.
5. Halter open dress + high waist shorts
Ethereal goddess – that’s what came to mind when we saw this Boho Style Open Dress (available on RelaGala Official Store). The pleats and shank buttons show that beauty is in the details. Combined with the soft, flowy material, this boho dress embodies what the free-spirited hippie style is all about. Accessories are key to nailing your boho statement – add a fringe bag like the Carlo Rino Fringe Crossbody Bag (available on Carlo Rino Official Store) to tie in the look.
6. Co-ord set with prints
If you’re too lazy to mix and match, you can’t go wrong with a co-ord set like this Beach Wear Set With Prints (available on annvee10og.sg). One set and you’re all decked from top to toe. If you want to take the outfit up a notch, throw in a straw hat for laid back beach vibes, and a mini crossbody to complete this ZoukOut 2023 outfit idea.
Pro tip: Pack as light as possible when heading to ZoukOut 2023 so you can dance hands-free and without burden.
What to wear to Zoukout Singapore 2023: Flower power
Flowers are a girl’s best friend, and what better way to channel your feminine energy at ZoukOut 2023 with these outfit ideas that feature floral prints. From grunge to cheery colours, here’s what we have for flower child in you.
7. Vintage floral bandeau with jeans
This sophisticated Floral Zipper Tank Top (available on LOVITO OFFICIAL STORE) is when blooms meet vintage. The flowers look oil-painted on a textured canvas, and the earthy colours make the reds pop. Be sure to pile on your favourite necklace so that the neck area doesn’t look empty. And for bottoms, throw on your most comfortable denim jeans or shorts!
Pro tip: If you’re worried about the tube top falling, try using fashion tapes to keep it in place. Buy good quality ones that won’t irritate your skin. We recommend jumping around at home to test the safety out to avoid any accidents at the actual event. Please abort mission if the top doesn’t fit snug enough.
8. Floral backless A-line dress
For a no frills ZoukOut 2023 outfit idea, this Floral Backless A-Line Dress (available on RelaGala Official Store) is a simple yet flattering piece to don for the beach party.

10. Black dress + corset
Gothic fashion borrows elements from the Victorian era, such as the corset. Pair this Gothic Lace Up Waist Corset Belt (available on myshopping.sg) with a little black dress, and accessorise with chunky necklaces and chokers to complete the look.
