Let’s be real: festival fashion is half the fun of going to a music fest or a theme party. It’s that one time you can throw on your sparkliest, most over-the-top self, and nobody’s gonna bat an eye. If you’re looking for a theme that’s fun, bold, and totally adorable, let me introduce you to Disco Kitties.
This look is the perfect mix of retro disco glam and playful cat-inspired details—think glitter, metallics, bold accessories, and just enough feline energy to turn heads. Plus, you can totally pull off this vibe sustainably with some thrifting and DIY magic. Let’s dive into how you can bring this out-of-this-world look to life.
What Is a Disco Kitty Look?
The Disco Kitty look is all about blending Studio 54 glam with a dash of mischievous feline charm. Imagine yourself covered in sparkles, rocking platform boots, and throwing on some bold cat-eye makeup. Oh, and maybe a shiny pair of cat ears to really drive the point home. It’s playful, stylish, and endlessly customizable.
The best part? You don’t need to drop a ton of cash to rock this look. With a little creativity (and some thrifting!), you can create a totally unique, one-of-a-kind look that’s all you.

Ready to put together a killer Disco Kitty look? Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you bring your vision to life, with tips on thrifting and DIYing along the way.
1. Sparkle, Shine, Repeat
The disco magic starts with glitter, sequins, and metallics. For your statement piece, consider:
- A silver catsuit
- A metallic mini skirt or dress
- A glitter-covered crop top or top
Thrift Tip: Check out your local thrift stores for vintage disco gems—metallic fabrics, sequins, shiny jumpsuits. Apps like Depop and Poshmark are also goldmines for secondhand rave wear.
2. Add Some Feline Flair
Now for the kitty part of your look:
- Go for glittery or holographic cat ears (no-brainer).
- Not into headbands? Try a dramatic cat-eye liner to get that fierce, feline look.
- For extra fun, add face gems or some glitter on your cheekbones and eyes.
DIY Idea: Get crafty and personalize your cat ears by adding rhinestones, feathers, or metallic paint. Make them your own!
3. Pick the Right Shoes
Your shoes can totally take your look to the next level:
- Platform boots for full disco drama.
- Metallic or holographic sneakers if you want to stay comfy but still stylish.
Thrift Tip: Check out Facebook Marketplace or resale apps for statement shoes—people often sell barely worn festival boots!
4. Accessorize Like You Mean It
Accessories are where you can get super creative. Consider:
- Oversized hoops or chunky bracelets for that retro glam.
- A glittery mini bag or belt bag to hold your essentials.
- Reflective sunglasses for a little extra flair.
Thrift Tip: Vintage shops often carry statement jewelry and unique bags—perfect for putting the final touch on your look.
5. Add the Final Details
It’s the little things that make a Disco Kitty outfit unforgettable:
- Glitter hairspray or metallic hair clips to tie in the theme.
- DIY a shiny Disco Kitty mask with sequins and feathers for that personal touch.

Why Thrift Your Rave Wear?
Let’s talk slow fashion for a sec. Festival outfits can be pricey and usually only get worn once or twice. Thrifting or buying secondhand is not only budget-friendly but also helps keep your wardrobe sustainable. Plus, you’re guaranteed to show up with a look no one else has. I resell all of my festival outfits on my Poshmark store here if you want to take a peek!
Make It Yours
The best part about the Disco Kitty vibe? It’s totally customizable. Not into sequins? Go for a sleek metallic jumpsuit instead. Don’t love cat ears? Try bold statement earrings or a glittery headband. The goal is to have fun, be confident, and make it uniquely you.
