5. which Halloween costumes are suitable for a club night in Cologne?
- Achte darauf, dass du dich wohl fühlst. Wenn du Inspiration für ein Outfit brauchst, guck gerne noch einmal bei Frage 1 vorbei - Da haben wir einige Ideen und Tipps für dein perfektes Halloweenkostüm geteilt.
- Insbesondere bei Motto- und Kostümpartys lohnt sich ein Blick auf die Seite der Veranstaltenden. Gibt es möglicherweise ein Dresscode oder einem Motto dem nachgegangen werden soll?
- Achte auf deine Mitmenschen und bespreche dich mit deinen Freund:innen. Auch unhandliche Outfits wie beispielsweise zu große Flügel, könnten in einer Clubnacht in Mitleidenschaft gezogen werden. Vermeide kulturell unpassende oder stereotype Kostüme.
- Halloween findet immer Ende Oktober statt. Das heißt drinnen könnte es sehr heiß und stickig sein und an der frischen Luft könntest du frösteln. Insbesondere bei längeren Wegen oder beim Warten in der Einlassschlange empfehlen wir den Zwiebellock. Achte da auf atmungsaktive Kleidung. Jacken oder Mäntel kann man in vielen Fällen auch an der Garderobe abgeben - schau dazu aber noch einmal bei der Location deiner Wahl nach.
- Für eine lange und gute Clubnacht, solltest du Schuhe tragen, in denen du gut laufen kannst.
