Spring Breakers Costume
Spring break forever. Recreate the neon-soaked, chaotic look of the cult film.
Inspired by Harmony Korine's 2012 cult crime film, the Spring Breakers costume channels the wild, neon-soaked aesthetic of the main characters. Perfect for groups, this look contrasts bright beachwear with criminal-chic accessories. The ensemble is defined by a neon pink unicorn ski mask, a bright bikini top, and black sweatpants.

How to put it together
- 1
Put on the neon string bikini top or tiger-print monokini.
- 2
Pull on the black sweatpants, wearing them slightly low on the hips to expose the bikini straps.
- 3
Optional: Use white fabric paint or iron-on letters to spell 'DTF' across the seat of the sweatpants.
- 4
Lace up your neon high-top sneakers.
- 5
If your ski mask doesn't have a unicorn, glue or iron the white unicorn patch onto the forehead area between the eyes.
- 6
Pull the neon pink ski mask over your head, adjusting the eye and mouth holes for comfort.
- 7
Carry the colorful plastic squirt gun to complete the heist-ready look.
Makeup & hair
Since your face is covered by the ski mask, keep your hair simple with loose, messy beach waves peeking out from the bottom of the balaclava. If you plan to take the mask off, opt for smudged, smoky eye makeup and a sun-kissed glow.
Spring Breakers for couples, groups, kids & more
- couples

Tips
- Ski masks can get hot indoors; look for lightweight acrylic or breathable cotton knit balaclavas.
- For safety, always use a bright, obviously fake plastic squirt gun rather than a realistic-looking prop toy.
- Use stencils when painting the sweatpants to ensure clean, bold lines for the lettering.
