What to Wear for Kingsday 2025: Bold, Local & Unapologetically You
Published on April 14, 2025
April in the Netherlands means one thing: Koningsdag is coming. The streets will be buzzing, the music will be loud, and yes—orange will be everywhere. Whether you're hitting up a flea market, boat party, or dancing all day in the park, your outfit needs to match the energy.
At Closet, we champion local fashion with a bold streak. This Kingsday, we’re spotlighting standout pieces from emerging Dutch designers that’ll help you celebrate in style—without blending into the crowd.
🍊 Be Seen: Statement Earrings by Vanilla Mayonnaise
Kingsday is not the day for subtle. Vanilla Mayonnaise nails the vibe with bold, sculptural earrings that demand attention. These pieces play with color, shape, and texture in all the right ways—think wearable art, but fun.
They’re the perfect finishing touch to any outfit, whether you’re going full orange or keeping it neutral with a loud accessory pop. We especially love them paired with slick buns or messy hair moments—either way, let those earrings shine.
🧡 Float Through the City: Kimonos by Stan Alfie
Kimonos are having a moment, and no one does them quite like Stan Alfie. Lightweight, vibrant, and just the right amount of dramatic, these pieces layer effortlessly over anything from denim to slip dresses.
And let’s be real—April weather can be unpredictable. A kimono is your stylish solution to that last-minute chill or a too-hot midday sun. Extra points if you go for one in a rich orange or a wild print.
