Why not choose Reggae as a laid back costume theme, ideal for a warm sunny evening?
- Clothing in the colours of the Jamaican flag – Green, yellow, black
- Tye dye clothing
- Bob Marley concert tee shirt with jeans
- Dreadlock wigs
- Rasta hats – usually made from a knitted fabric and often includes the Rastafarian addition of the colour red to the Jamaican colours
- Dark glasses
- Wooden Beads
- Fake Spliffs & Wacky weed
Reggae music will help set the laid back atmosphere and complete the theming with the following food:
- Jerk Chicken
- Beef Patties
- Chicken Curry
And wash it all down with a Jamaican rum punch!
As you no doubt know, here at Props & Frocks we like to keep an eye on what’s going on in the world outside and we are delighted to see that the film documentary on Bob Marley’s life, yesterday hit the UK cinemas (well some of them anyway). This legendary reggae singer, who tragically died of cancer, aged just 36, in May 1984, has been a steady favourite when it comes to costumes (and/or wigs) over many years. Although the Bob Marley look has been wanted for all different types of events, the most popular requests by far are 1970s, Dead Icons or Pop Stars.
