Brat Green: The Defining Shade of the ‘SWEAT’ Tour
No color is as synonymous with Charli XCX’s Brat era as brat green. Calling it “the color heard ’round the world,” this zesty neon hue (hex code #8ACE00) has become a rallying point, uniting fans worldwide in a fashion-forward statement. Think slime green or lime green—avoid Kelly and olive greens—and you’re on the money.
- Statement Pieces: Invest in a brat green piece with longevity, such as those from brands Charli herself wears—think Helmut Lang or Acne Studios.
- Accessorize: Not ready to commit to a full neon look? Work in brat green through accessories and makeup—think lime green bags, sunglasses, or even eye makeup.
- Layer Up: Pair bold brat green tops or tanks with textured mesh, sequins, or distressed denim to create depth.
Brat green is unapologetically loud, with a slight “deliberately tacky” energy that’s part of the movement’s fun. Expect to be one of many glowing in the crowd—but the real challenge is getting the shade just right.
Brat Green Outfit Inspiration
- Mesh or sequined brat green tank tops for that club-meets-arena shine
- Lime green wide-leg pants, especially with a mid-rise fit
- Sequin midi dresses for those looking to combine glamor with edge
- Brat green platform mules or chunky boots for extra attitude
- Bright, brat green nail polish or graphic eye shadow for of-the-moment beauty statements
If You’re a 365 Party Girl: All-Night-Ready Looks
Charli’s Brat era isn’t just soundtracked by its own bangers—it’s visually defined by looks that transform the tour floor into a dance club. Her own birthday parties and legendary Boiler Room sets offer the blueprints: mix comfort and charisma with show-stopping, danceable pieces.
What others are reading
- Start with a white ribbed tank, crop top, or baby tee (bonus points for “Brat” merch or graphic text).
- Add black shorts—classic Levi’s cutoffs or leather for an edge.
- Knee-high boots or chunky platforms for stomping energy.
- Sunglasses (even at night), because nothing says “party girl” like shielding yourself from the club’s neon glare.
- For the bold: Eyelash tape to recreate Charli’s signature snatched cat-eye from the Brooklyn set.
If you want to take it even further, channel Charli’s sometimes cheeky “no-pants” trend by layering fishnets, bike shorts, or mesh beneath oversized tops. For headwear, hats like a Von Dutch trucker are iconic—but due to their rarity, vintage or second-hand options may be your best bet.
Party Girl Checklist
- White cotton tank or shredded tee
- Black shorts
- Chunky, dance-ready boots
- Sneaky statement sunglasses
- Green eyelash tape or bold eye makeup
If You Want to Go Back to 1999: Y2K Nostalgia Unleashed
The Charli XCX & Troye Sivan collab “1999” is more than a song—it’s the beating heart of the tour’s flashback aesthetic. Both artists have celebrated the Y2K resurgence through clear visual nods to Britney, Justin, and Matrix-glazed pop culture. Want to celebrate the 2000s revival on concert night? Here’s how to do it with intention:
- Low-rise, baggy jeans or sequin cargo pants inspired by late-90s and early-2000s celebrities.
- Crystal-embellished baby tees (see Troye’s Ludovic de Saint Sernin cropped tee for a direct reference).
- Leather trench coats or mesh shrugs—an homage to The Matrix and cyberpop.
- Platform heels in bold hues, maximizing height and nostalgia.
- Tie-front cropped cardigans layered over shimmering tanks or graphic tees.
| Iconic Y2K Item | Style Inspiration | How to Modernize |
|---|---|---|
| Sequin cargo pants | Britney Spears, early MTV | Pair with a minimalist top and chunky sneakers |
| Crystal cut t-shirt | Pops stars, MTV Red Carpets | Layer under a sheer mesh cardigan |
| Leather trench coat | The Matrix, cyber-chic celebs | Wear loose and open with lots of jewelry |
| Platform heels | Y2K club kids | Opt for neon or metallic finishes |
If you love Troye’s smoother silhouettes, subtle shimmer, and glam but understated energy, this is the section to borrow from.
Last-Minute Brat: Effortless Outfits for Spontaneous Concert Nights
Sometimes, you only find out you’re going to the concert hours before doors open. No time to shop? Embrace the brat ethos with what you have:
- Lean into anything brat green you can find—turtlenecks, vest, or even just bold green accessories as your centerpiece.
- Pair it with neutrals or black for a last-minute but *coordinated* vibe.
- If in doubt: Go with graphic tees, oversized rugby shirts, or thrifted mesh coverups—the less “try-hard” the better.
- Mix and match textures like mesh, sequins, leather, and ribbed cotton to create dimension in your look.
The brat philosophy is ultimately about individuality and attitude. Even with a quick turnaround, the right intention and colorways will help you fit right in at the tour.
Warehouse Party Meets Arena: Brat Club-Ready Outfits
Brat fashion isn’t shy, and neither are the parties Charli and Troye host—both on stage and in after-hours clubs. In this rave-inspired bracket, think garments made to move, sweat, and stand out beneath disco lights.
- Hot pants or micro shorts paired with a snarky baby tee—lean in to brash slogans and graphic designs.
- Thigh-high boots, whether patent, metallic, or bedazzled, for that perfect dance-floor statement.
- Layer neon mesh, shredded tees, or crop tops with bold prints under a practical but stylish windbreaker (for when it’s time to leave the club and hit the streets).
- Embellishments—think rhinestones, chains, and hardware in your jewelry and bags.
Charli XCX Warehouse Party Essentials
- Snarky or ironic baby tee (ideally oversized)
- Short shorts or hot pants
- Thigh-high or knee-high boots
- Fishnet tights or mesh layers
Accessories, Hair, and Makeup: Nailing the Hyperpop Aesthetic
Accessories and beauty choices are where fans can really flex creativity and hyperpop energy. A “barely-together” look is key—too perfect, and you’ll clash with the brat mood.
- Jewelry: Chunky rings, chokers, or oversized earrings—bonus points for neon, plastic, or rhinestone details.
- Bags: Y2K shoulder bags, mini purses, or anything iridescent, metallic, or furry.
- Headgear: Trucker hats, butterfly clips, or statement sunglasses (the bolder, the better).
- Makeup: Bright green eye shadow, smudged black liner, glossy lips, and don’t forget chrome or brat green nail polish. The Urban Decay Freak eyeshadow is on-trend, as well as Sally Hansen’s Drive Me Crazy polish.
- Hair: High ponytails, space buns, gelled baby hairs, and temporary hair color sprays are all fair game.
Above all, your look should invite fun, movement, and a genuine sense of belonging to the brat community. Individuality reigns, and playful chaos is the norm.
