The history and the origins of Carnival are uncertain. Each year we celebrate this festivity, that historically was a symbol of a new year and rebirth, but it was also connected to ancient Rome in Italy. Despite the differences in the way this day is celebrated around, the common factor is that the streets are full of splendid and colorful costumes and people are energetically moving and dancing. It is a part of our cultural identity. In the US, the main city that celebrates carnival is New Orleans, in Italy it’s Venice, but the most famous festival in the world is the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro. No matter where you are, carnival is celebrated with parades, costumes and colorful expressions.
Today at Needen we want to suggest easy and effective outfits to celebrate this day with your family and friends!

Costume for her: Black dress and accessories
The well-known princess style is historically characterised by a tight waistline and a long gown. However this style has evolved a lot over the years, and in the 20s’ when the corset went out of style, the black dress became a symbol of emancipation for women. This new style was simple and different, with a long dress embellished with a classic necklace, earrings and gloves for a very Daisy-inspired outfit.
If you are thinking to recreate this costume with a modern approach we suggest this Ladies dress from Urban classics with transparent mesh inserts at the front and back. It is easy: you just have to buy a set with the accessories you need and use highlighting makeup and you will be ready to celebrate Carnival! Check out on Needen the variety of dresses and accessories that you can use to create your favourite costume.
Costume for kids: An all-round hoodie
It is safe to say that the number of funny and catchy costumes that you can buy are endless, but this time we want to suggest something different for your little one. Our idea is to create a new costume for your child using this all round hoodie from Fruit of The Loom. Made from 80% cotton, you can sew the hood and create as many different animals as you want for a comfortable and cute costume. The hoodie is available in 17 colors, so whether your child decided to be a lion or a cartoon character this year, you will be able to do it all. Also, the value of the handmade items is priceless and it will be a precious gift for your children.
