Orange flags and balloons, painted faces in red, white, blue and orange and lots of old Dutch games, such as cookie biting, can throwing and nail pooping. On April 27th it's that time again, King's Day!
The most fun day of the year on which we celebrate the birthday of our king. The whole country goes out on the streets to enjoy the fun performances and parties full of singing people. And don't forget the beautifully decorated boats that shine along the canals!
Some of us have been busy for months scoring a nice outfit for King's Day. Big orange hats, glittery orange sequin dresses and comfortable onesies. Costumes are being bought en masse and for those who prefer to order their King's Day outfit from home, there are enough nice webshops where you can find King's Day outfits that you can easily order online.
Be a real princess with a beautiful blue princess Maxima dress. Make sure that no one recognizes you anymore and walk through the city like someone of nobility. And if you want to take it a step further, choose a large golden crown with gemstones. Now no one can ignore you. And if you are looking for a matching costume for your partner or friend, choose a real prince costume. Walk through the city like a real royal couple!
Can you remember walking with your father, mother, brother or sister to the flea market and buying the nicest second-hand stuff? Or think of the fresh mini pancakes! When you walk through the city with your child, full of people dressed in orange, they will of course also want a cool King's Day costume . For example, think of a cool king's mantle with a crown that will turn your little one into a real king. You can of course also choose a beautiful orange tulle skirt that will turn your daughter, granddaughter or niece into a real orange ballerina. In addition, there are many different types of make-up with which you can create the most beautiful creations on the face. An orange tiger, a beautiful red, white and blue flag or would you rather have a self-made creation?
When you have chosen the perfect orange outfit , the orange accessories cannot be missed. A nice orange tracksuit naturally includes orange sweatbands and orange disco pants include charming orange sunglasses. In addition, there are also many cozy hats that you can easily put on your head. Think of a cool orange hat, everyone will be jealous! And if you really want to go 'out of the box', you can make yourself unrecognizable with a great orange wig .
Orange stands for Dutch culture with all its coziness, nostalgia and super friendly inhabitants. On April 27, the entire country is dedicated to the King's birthday, and we celebrate that we are proud of this beautiful country. Are you also looking forward to King's Day?
