For huge Disney fans, showing off the desired look can be challenging, as the clothes’ price tag is often unaffordable. But don’t worry, looking like your favorite Disney character doesn’t have to be expensive! You can create the best Disney outfits by using clothing items you already have in your wardrobe or buying from the local thrift store.
DisneyBounding can be really fun, allowing you to tap into your creativity and come up with some eye-catching – and unique – outfits. Just take a look on Pinterest, and you’ll find many inspiring ideas!
What exactly is DisneyBounding?
If you want to pay homage to your beloved Disney character, DisneyBounding is an excellent way to do so. You can incorporate elements of their personality and style very easily, bringing the whimsy of Disney to your day-to-day life.
DisneyBounding is a term coined by blogger Leslie Key, representing a way of showing your appreciation for Disney by dressing up based on the outfits of your favorite characters without having to wear a full-on costume. While these outfits are ideal when taking a trip to Disney World, their versatility makes them suitable for everyday wear as well. For instance, you can create a Disney-inspired outfit and show off your fabulous outfit at a regular social event. If you get creative, your DisneyBounding outfit can fit different occasions, so add your unique touches and enjoy the process!
Different themes you can choose from
There are plenty of ideas for Disneybounding, including:
- Disney Princesses. You can dress like one of your favorite Disney Princesses, including Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, or Snow White. It’s simple to create to display their look, and you don’t need to recreate the same outfit – what matters is using the same colors and accessories. For instance, for Snow White Disney Bound, you’ll need a blue top and a yellow skirt, which you can style with a red hairband and an apple necklace.
- Classic Disney characters. If you don’t feel princessy, you can always opt for a classic Disney character instead, such as Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Goofy or Donald Duck.
- Pixar Characters. Popular Pixar movies like Monsters Inc. and Toy Story have many great characters that you can use for Disneybounding.
- Villains. You can turn into your favorite villain by recreating the outfit of Ursula, the Evil Queen, or Maleficent.
- Marvel. Do you want to feel like a superhero? If yes, you can put together a Spider-Man Disneybound. Other popular Marvel characters to inspire your outfit include Iron Man and Captain America.
DisneyBounding rules for a fabulous look
Whether you want to look like Moana or the characters from Inside Out, learning some rules on how to style your clothing items the right way is essential. Don’t know how to Disneybound like a pro? Read on to find out!
Rule No 1: Focus on patterns
Some Disney characters have an identifiable pattern, making it easier to create an outfit that will automatically link you to them. For instance, white and red polka dots immediately bring Minnie Mouse to mind, while green fish scales are the best way to transform into the beautiful Mermaid Ariel for a day. Do you want to look like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh? That’s easy! All you need is a pair of leggings with black and orange tiger stripes, a black tunic top, old-school sneakers, and a lightweight yellow scarf. Complete the look with Tigger-inspired Minnie Mouse ears and ta-da: you will display Tigger’s energetic personality wherever you go!
Rule No 2: Consider the colours of the character’s outfits
Another vital rule for DisneyBounding is to consider the main color palette of your favorite character’s outfit. Now, we aren’t saying you should choose matching identical pieces, but you want to have a general idea of what makes the character unique. For instance, Goofy is recognizable through its orange top, green hat, blue pants, and brown vest. Also, think of the characters from Inside Out – they all have identifiable colors (Joy-Yellow, Sadness-blue, and so on), making them perfect for DisneyBound. Or, you can mix black and purple to look like The Little Mermaid’s Ursula. Focus on the color tones of the character’s outfit, and you’ll successfully create a design that you’ll love.
Rule No 3: Make less-than-obvious characters stand out
It’s important to remember that costumes and DisneyBound are two opposite things. So, if you pick a less-than-obvious character, others may not recognize you as being DisneyBound. You can, however, draw attention to the outfit by having a toy, a purse, or any other relevant accessory. Suppose you want to show your love for Moana; a Hawaii hammered swirls sea glass necklace is a must-have piece of jewelry that will complete your look and make the character instantly recognizable. Similarly, a snowflake glitter crossbody bag is a great accessory that will make you feel like the Princess of Arendelle. If you look through all the available Disney and Loungefly products, it’s impossible not to find something that will allow you to bring the Disney magic wherever you go. Whether jewelry or a bag, the item you choose will enhance the overall theme of your look.
Rule No 4: Don’t forget about accessories
It’s no secret that accessories play a crucial role in completing your look. They help tie the ensemble together, drawing attention to your style. If you identify the most eye-catching piece of a character’s outfit, you won’t even have to stress so much about the other pieces. For instance, Donald Duck has a bright red bow, so you can display the character’s look by purchasing a necklace in the same shape. Similarly, Vanellope from Wreck It Ralph stands out through her candy hair accessories, while for Cruella de Vil, the red gloves are an essential piece of her outfit.
Wrapping it all up
Who said DisneyBounding is only for Disney Parks? You can wear a Disney-inspired outfit on many occasions! So, keep these rules in mind to add some Pixie Dust to your daily clothing pieces and create the best Disney outfits.
Las reglas para crear tus mejores atuendos Disney
Para muchos fans comprar ropa de Disney cada semana puede ser imposible, incluso para cada vez que van a los parques o vacacionar. Una manera de hacerlo manteniéndote en presupuesto o de no verte “disfrazada” es al hacer DisneyBounding, que es básicamente rehusar de manera creativa lo que tienes en tu closet para hacer alusión a tu personaje o película favorita. Ya sea usando los colores del personaje o algún accesorio que haga referencia a la profesión, momento o historia. Por ejemplo Ariel de la Sirenita puede realizarse con los colores aqua, morado y una diadema de perlas o aretes de burbuja o un bolso marino; Blanca Nieves mezclando ropa de colores amarillo y azul con detalles como una diadema roja o un bolso con forma de manzana, etc.
