Blacklight parties are all the rage, and for good reason – they are a lot of fun.
A blacklight party is a great place to let your creative side shine. Also known as dark parties or glow parties, they are typically held in a dark room (or a room with a dark background) with black light bulbs with ultraviolet light. This will enable certain colors to glow, giving the party and outfits a unique, fun feel.
Black light parties are a great way to experiment with outfits, colors, and neon paint – there are even body-safe paints that you can add to your skin for an awesome glow-in-the-dark experience under UV light.
So, what should you wear? Anything goes! Bright neon colors, glow-in-the-dark items, and bright patterns are all perfect for a blacklight party. Just make sure that what you wear is comfortable and doesn’t restrict your movement. If you’re not sure what to wear to your next party, check out some of our favorite ideas below.

This top is perfect for a blacklight party. It’s fun, flirty, and it will definitely make you stand out in house parties. Plus, you can also wear this in normal and casual settings, not just for black light parties!
3. Body Paint
One way to really stand out at a blacklight party is to wear body paint/face paint. You can find body paint in a variety of colors, so you can choose what color you want to be. This type of body paint is bright, eye-catching, and will definitely make you stand out in a crowd. Plus, it’s safe and easy to apply.

If you’re the one hosting the black light party, a great idea is to give out fluorescent paints as party favors to your guests. They will definitely have lots of fun creating body art that will glow in the dark.
4. White Clothing
If you want to keep things simple, then you can’t go wrong with white clothing. White clothes will reflect the blacklight, giving you a great glow. Plus, white is a bright color that goes with everything. You don’t have to spend a dime for a new top or dress, since you most likely already have a white top or a white t-shirt in your closet.
Be careful, though – party guests will definitely smear body paint all over each other, so your top will likely get paint all over. Don’t worry, the paint will likely easily wash off when you wash your clothes.
5. Glow In The Dark Nail Polish
One way to make your nails stand out in the dark is to wear glow in the dark nail polish. You can find glow in the dark nail polish at your nearest beauty store, or you can also buy neon press-on nails on Etsy!
They’re eye-catching and a fun ice-breaker, and you can also wear them to your next Halloween party.
6. Glowing Bracelets
One way to accessorize for a blacklight party is to wear glow bracelets. You can find so many rave bracelets on Etsy, and you can also make one yourself! Just purchase a couple packs of neon beads and some elastic string, and let your creative self have a blast.
You can even make bracelets with your friends at the black light party. It’s a fun way to bond and to make something for each other.
Another easy and great way to get a glow bracelet is to stick a couple of glow sticks together. You can even make glow necklaces! Plus, you can also hand out glow sticks as favors to the party goers.
7. Neon Clothing
Neon colors like bright orange, green, white, pink, and purple will all glow under black light. You can find shirts, pants, skirts, and even dresses that are made with neon colors. Make sure to get something that’s comfortable; you’ll be dancing and having fun all night long.
Bonus – to complete your outfit, get a neon-colored wig! You’ll definitely be the star of the party with your glowing hair.

They’re eye-catching and safe to wear, and you won’t have to worry about paint sticking to your clothes.
