This Wednesday, The Union Bar will transform into the chaotic club scene that encompasses Charli xcx’s most recent album, and overnight sensation,“Brat.” While some are accustomed to the likes of the British singer-songwriter’s style and aesthetic for the album, others who plan to attend the event may be unsure where to find fashion inspiration.
With the event only days away, here’s what to wear to VRNT’s “Brat” night:
Sunglasses, even indoors
One of the easiest accessories you can pair with an outfit for the event is a slick pair of sunglasses. Whether you have some laying around your dorm or apartment, or if you need to snag a pair from Athens’ Uptown Costumes, this addition to an outfit will make you look effortlessly cool and bratty without having to spend too much.
It’s crucial you keep these on all night, as Charli xcx is notorious for sporting her signature shades at her concerts, DJ sets and even after a night out.

Oversized and tastefully cut t-shirts
Like the photo above, Charli xcx is also known for keeping her clubbing outfits simple and free, which will be perfect for a night full of dancing and lots of sweat. You can either find an oversized basic t-shirt, preferably either in black or white, or one with a cool logo on the front to add a little bit of flare. For major fans of the singer, you could even wear one of your favorite pieces of Charli xcx merch to show off your love for the original “Brat.”
By tastefully cutting the shirt as well, you can easily pull off a more distressed, off-the-shoulder look that can be paired with either fishnet tights, knee-high leather boots or some chained jewelry.
“Brat” green
Obviously, one can’t attend “Brat” Night without a touch of the iconic green color that helped launch the album into the hearts of chronically online people. If you don’t want to wear neutrals, aim for wearing the close to lime-green shade either through a simple “Brat” logo shirt, sunglasses, or if you dare, with makeup products like eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara or lipstick.
You could even incorporate“Brat” green accessories into your hairstyle, such as through the use of ribbon, hair gems or extensions. Adding a touch of color to your nails as well could be a subtle yet touching homage to the album.

Trucker hats
You’re probably thinking “Really?,” but a trucker hat is so “Brat.” This could be paired with an oversized shirt and sunglasses, cargo pants or low-rise jeans. A hat like this can be found in one of your junk drawers at home or from the one you accidentally stole from a roommate, but it adds a hint of early 2000s flare without being too over the top.

Micro skirts
A micro skirt is a more scandalous approach you can take for “Brat” Night if you’re someone who wants to show off some skin just as Charli xcx herself would. This piece goes with pretty much anything, but could look stunning with some sheer tights or socks, wrap-around shades and a cropped tank top or off-the-shoulder t-shirt. You may have to find one via Amazon or thrifting, but the new statement skirt is one that completes the “Brat” aesthetic.
