The Ibiza Aesthetic

By Sylvia Eastman

Have you recently been seeing a lot of sparkles, neon colors and bohemian prints on trendy clothes in your social media feeds? If the answer is yes, then you’ve probably heard of the Ibiza-inspired fashion aesthetic. The Ibiza aesthetic has recently emerged from the rising popularity of house music and Ibizan nightclubs. A great example is the disco club Ushuaïa in Ibiza, where famous DJs like Avicii and Calvin Harris have played. People travel to Ibiza solely for these unforgettable nightclubs, the jaw-dropping weather and views, and especially the free-spirited fashion.

If you’re going to Ibiza and looking for an outfit to wear or simply love the aesthetic and want to wear Ibiza-inspired clothes for a night out this summer, you’ve come to the right place. The single most important feature of the Ibiza aesthetic is sparkles, sparkles, sparkles.

 You may start off with this Peppermayo Exclusive - Kamilla Sequin Cami Top - Mint and pair it with a white mini skirt or the matching Peppermayo Exclusive - Corinna Low Rise Sequin Maxi Skirt - Mint to be sparkling from head to toe. Or when searching for similar more affordable options: try out this Edikted Sequin Chiffon Split Front Top sold on Pacsun’s website. Crimp your hair and pair this top with some micro-shorts and Frye boots, you’ll be ready for a night out at Ushuaïa. 

The next fashion trend inspired by the Ibiza aesthetic is bright colors and bold patterns. White Fox is a great site for matching sets like the I Don't Mind Top Dark Romance and Sunset Girl Maxi Skirt Dark Romance. This tank and maxi skirt set would be perfect for a moody cocktail hour and dinner. You could also go for this Princess Polly Mauro set green multi for an outdoor lunch by the water or a patterned skirt with a white tank to dress down a statement piece.

If you like more natural tones and sparkles and bold prints aren’t your thing, then the bohemian Ibiza style may suit you more. Light and airy fabric like in this Princess Polly Soul survivor playsuit cream is best for the hot Ibizian summers. Pair this romper and other flowy dresses with a pair of black and white cowboy boots and chunky jewelry to stay cool throughout any outdoor festival. American Eagle also features great white maxi skirts like the AE High-Waisted Lace Detail Maxi Skirt that can be paired with tie tank tops like this Embroidered Tie Front Top from Garage.  

Whether you enjoy being noticed right when you walk into the room with your shimmery outfit or prefer to stay more mysterious with neutral, earthy tones, the Ibiza aesthetic has something for everyone. It can be hard to find cheaper options because most of the garments trending are eccentric and luxurious. Shopping in stores like Pacsun, American Eagle and Garage is more feasible than shopping online-only on sites like Peppermayo and Princess Polly. Whatever the budget, there is something you can find suitable for the Ibiza aesthetic. It’s also important to make trends individually your own. Find a few pieces you love and use your creativity to uniquely style them — you’ll be ready to effortlessly rock the Ibiza aesthetic all summer long.
