30+ places to shop for your Mardi Gras outfits

Glitter and sequins

Let’s begin with the universal favorite: anything GLITTERY. As my fabulous colleague (and Mardi Gras aficionado) Jack put it, “Imagine Taylor Swift Eras tour meets a crowd of dazzling unicorns.” We’re looking for sequin dresses, mini skirts, mini shorts, bedazzled bras, and more (or less). For these kinds of outfits, you’re most likely to find them at retailers like Rat & Boa, ASOS, The Iconic, Beginning Boutique, Princess Polly, Showpo, and Selfie Leslie.
