A day among fairies, dragons and dark maidens? That calls for an outfit with just as much imagination as you! Whether you’re visiting Elfia or another fantasy fair, a distinctive print, a dramatic silhouette and a few magical details let your story begin before you even pass through the gates.
From fairy-tale forests to gothic castles: these are our favourite looks from the Elfia selection. Starring our own Succubus Clothing, of course ♥
1. Get lost in a fairy-tale forest
Toadstools, butterflies, leaves and woodland animals: the Elysa Toadstool Forest dress from Succubus Clothing brings its own forest along. Its warm brown print, wrap-look V-neck and flowing skirt create that romantic cottagecore feel. And yes, it has pockets! Complete the story with the Toadstool Huggie earrings from Bill Skinner: tiny toadstools with a big impact.
2. Unleash your inner Medusa
Prefer a powerful mythical heroine? The green Medusa corset from Succubus Clothing combines glossy satin, steel boning and a bold silhouette. Wear it with your favourite long skirt or black trousers, and let the Alchemy Vouivre Dragon necklace add an extra dose of dragon magic. Check the size chart carefully before ordering and try your corset on beforehand so you know how it fits.
3. Choose Victorian romance
The Eva Victorian blouse from Punk Rave has exactly the details a dark romantic falls for: a high ruffled collar, puff sleeves and elegant lacing. Pair it with a long skirt and boots you’ve already broken in. Fancy even more drama? The black and red velvet and flower-shaped buttons of the Crimson Peak jacket complete your grand entrance.
4. Wear your own dragon story
With the Audrey Ships of the Dragon Sea dress from Succubus Clothing, you can sail straight into your own fantasy world. The scene of ships and dragons looks beautiful on its full circle skirt. Add a petticoat for extra volume, or wear it without for a little less swing. An adventure you can take out of your wardrobe again long after the fair!
5. Step into a dark fairy tale
Does your character prefer wandering through an abandoned castle? The Aurora Velvet dress from Punk Rave combines black velvet with lace, mesh and a skirt that falls longer at the back. Add the Vouivre Dragon necklace and you have all the ingredients for a gothic fairy tale. A little mystery suits you...
6. Let your accessories play their part
Even a small addition can give your look a character of its own. The Fairy Tale Wing earrings from Succubus Home let fairy wings and little stars dance beside your face. The Vendula Fairy Village Snowflake Toadstool House bag is a fairy-tale cottage you can carry, complete with a snowy toadstool roof. In the mood for colourful chaos? The Loungefly Madam Mim Dragon backpack brings the Disney sorceress to life in her dragon form.
7. Add flowing flair with a kimono
The Great White Heron kimono from Succubus Clothing instantly adds enchantment to a simple base. Great white herons, lotus flowers and dragonflies adorn the airy viscose. Wear it open over a top and trousers, or use the detachable belt. Best of all: after your fantasy adventure, this statement piece is just as happy to join you at a party.
Our tip for a day at the fair: try your whole outfit on at home, choose shoes you can walk comfortably in and match your layers to the weather. Then all you need to decide is which fairy tale you want to experience today.
