King’s Day Outfits to Rule the Streets in Orange Style

1. Orange T-shirt with Dutch flag face paint

This is the most classic, fuss-free King’s Day look — a bright orange T-shirt worn proudly to celebrate the royal color. The shirt can be fitted or oversized, paired with blue denim jeans, shorts, or even a flowy orange skirt. What makes this outfit pop is the Dutch flag face paint: three horizontal stripes (red, white, and blue) applied across both cheeks or diagonally across one side of the face. It’s simple, recognizable, and festive. You can take it further with orange beads, temporary tattoos of the Dutch lion, or even a bandana. Ideal for parades, day markets (vrijmarkt), or just walking around the city center.

2. Orange hoodie with jeans

A go-to outfit if the weather turns chilly — and it often does in late April. An orange hoodie provides warmth while staying in theme. Pair it with your favorite denim jeans and white sneakers or boots. You can keep it casual, or elevate the look with some accessories: a red-white-blue knit beanie, flag pins, or even Dutch flag socks peeking out from under your jeans. You’ll blend comfort with national spirit effortlessly. Great for early morning market strolls, bike rides, or evening fireworks.

3. Orange sundress and white sneakers

For a feminine, easygoing look that’s comfortable yet striking, an orange sundress is a perfect choice. Whether sleeveless, off-shoulder, or wrap-style, the bold hue instantly screams “King’s Day.” Pair it with classic white sneakers or Converse for comfort while you explore busy streets or dance on boats. Accessorize with a flower crown or light denim jacket. You can also add a white crossbody bag and delicate flag earrings for subtle flair. Ideal for sunny weather and ideal if you’re planning to be photographed all day.

4. Orange polo shirt with blue and red accessories

This one strikes a balance between sporty and put-together. Choose a structured orange polo shirt — either cotton or breathable pique — and pair it with chinos, denim shorts, or a pleated skirt. Add blue and red elements like bracelets, a scrunchie, or shoelaces to complete the Dutch flag color trio. A white tennis skirt and red-white-blue knee socks would be a fun twist. For men, a smart belt and casual watch add polish. This outfit works great for picnics, casual brunches, or a stroll along the canals.

5. Orange overalls or dungarees

Overalls bring in playful, nostalgic energy that’s perfect for King’s Day. A classic pair in bold orange — especially corduroy or canvas — is both practical and unique. Wear it over a white or blue-striped long-sleeve tee or crop top for layering. Roll up the hems to show off fun socks or sneakers, and add pins or patches (like the Dutch lion or flag). Great for all-day wear, and easy to adapt for kids and adults alike. Bonus: the front pocket is perfect for holding confetti or coins for market buys.

6. Full orange tracksuit (for fun retro vibes)

Bring the party with a fully orange tracksuit — think 80s breakdance vibes, with matching zip-up jacket and joggers. Choose velour or nylon for extra impact. It’s a bold, expressive look best paired with chunky sneakers and accessories like plastic sunglasses, gold chains, or a faux fanny pack. Top it with a curly orange wig for full effect. Whether you’re going to a King’s Day music festival or just enjoying a party at a friend’s place, this outfit is high-energy and unforgettable.

7. Orange tutu and a simple tank top

This outfit channels a carnival spirit and is perfect for dancing, parades, or boat parties. A neon orange tutu, worn over biker shorts or leggings, gives volume and movement. Pair it with a fitted white or black tank top and layer on accessories — glitter makeup, flag stickers, a sash, or light-up necklaces. For footwear, go with platform sneakers or boots so you’re ready to dance all day. This look is bold, a little cheeky, and ideal for those who want to stand out in a fun and feminine way.

8. Orange hat or cap with all-black outfit

If you want to keep things sleek but still festive, this minimalist approach is your answer. Start with a classic all-black base: black skinny jeans or trousers, a black shirt or turtleneck, and black shoes or boots. Then throw on an eye-catching orange cap, beanie, or beret. The pop of color makes a strong visual statement while letting you stay stylish and comfortable. Add a few accessories — orange earrings, a wristband, or a single orange belt — to tie it together. Great for the fashion-forward minimalist.

9. Orange blazer over casual jeans

Chic and slightly elevated, this look blends formal and street style. A structured orange blazer worn over a white tee or printed shirt offers an elegant pop of color. Pair it with light-wash denim and clean white sneakers or low heels. Add a flag pin to your lapel or tuck in a patterned scarf for a bit of flair. It’s great for King’s Day events where you want to look presentable — lunch with family, a dinner date, or an art market walk.

10. Orange sunglasses and orange socks with any neutral look

For those who want to keep their regular wardrobe and just add festive details, this is the go-to solution. Throw on a neutral outfit — maybe beige, black, gray, or denim — and add vibrant orange sunglasses and socks. Choose novelty shades (star-shaped, heart-shaped) for extra fun, and pair with cuffed pants or shorts that show off your socks. You can wear a small flag pin or face sticker for a final touch. It’s the ultimate “effortless but fun” ensemble.
