10 Alté Party Fashion Tips
1. Accessorize Like a Master Alchemist
Think beyond chunky necklaces and statement earrings. Craft your own story with layered chains, vintage trinkets, and mismatched bangles. Throw in a beaded crown or a feathered fan for an extra dose of drama. Remember, Alté is about unexpected pairings, so let your imagination run wild.
2. You don’t need a lot of makeup
Even though it’s perfectly fine if you go for a full-face beat with graphic liners, it’s not essential. You could simply line your lips and eyes, shade your brows and apply lip gloss or dark lipsticks.
3. Vintage is Your Vintage
Forget fast fashion and raid your grandma’s attic or hit up the local thrift stores. Alté thrives on giving pre-loved pieces a new lease on life. Mix and match eras, from grandpa sweaters to 70s maxi dresses, and accessorize with chunky sunglasses and statement belts. Remember, vintage isn’t about perfection; it’s about telling a story through timeworn threads.

4. DIY or Die
Alté is all about defying the cookie-cutter mould, so why not create your own? Grab some fabric paint, bleach, or safety pins and transform a plain tee into a masterpiece. Customise your denim with patches and rips, or add studs and chains to a leather jacket. Let your outfit be a testament to your creative spirit.
5. Gender is a Construct
Alté smashes the binary. Don’t be afraid to raid the “opposite” side of the closet. Throw on an oversized boyfriend blazer with a mini skirt, or rock a flowy maxi dress with chunky boots. It’s all about confidence and owning your unique style, regardless of what the label says.
6. Footwear is Fierce
Shoes are more than just foot protection at an Alté party. They’re an extension of your personality. Ditch the stilettos and embrace chunky platforms, neon sneakers, or even combat boots. Remember, comfort is key, but don’t shy away from a statement heel if it makes your heart sing.

7. Rings and heavy accessories, always
Accessories add an edge to your outfit. And if you’re trying to absolutely kill the party, you need to come prepared. From knuckle rings to bracelets, chains and earrings.
8. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Be as creative with your hair as you are with your clothes. So whether it’s locs or dyed hair, go for it. And don’t forget to accessorise with beads, cowries or trinkets.
9. Confidence is Your Crown
The most important accessory you can wear to an Alté party is your confidence. Own your look, your vibe, yourself. Don’t be afraid to stand out, to be different, to be unapologetically you. That’s the true essence of Alté: celebrating individuality in all its glorious, technicolour splendour.
10. Let the Beat Guide You
Finally, remember that Alté is more than just fashion. It’s a feeling, a groove, a pulsating rhythm. So let the music move you, let your body sway, and let your outfit be a physical manifestation of your inner soundtrack. Dance like nobody’s watching, express yourself with abandon and remember: at an Alté party, the only rule is to be true to yourself.
