Unique party themes are nothing new on TikTok. From the red flags of dressing like you, to wearing nothing at all, partygoers know how to keep their celebrations original, and the latest trend taking over the apps is no exception. Creators are hosting "Dress Like Your Favorite Drink" parties and taking inspiration from their friends to plan their party outfits, and the results are refreshing.
If you can't catch the name, the theme is easy to understand—all you have to do is pick an outfit that's even vaguely reminiscent of your favorite wine, beer, or spirit, and you're good to go. To be honest, the best part of this party theme isn't all the creative interpretations of the thirsty "fit," although those are pretty awesome. Each guest is required to bring a glass of their favorite drink for everyone to enjoy, meaning you have plenty of drink options throughout the night and everyone can sample your favorite drink.
If you're thinking about hosting your own drinks-themed event, you may be wondering who gets credit for the idea. Unfortunately, it’s unclear who started this trend, but if you search “dress like your favorite drink” on TikTok, you’ll see all the creators who have put the party to work before you , some of which date back to 2021. The video comes from @annsofiedemeyer and features attendees carrying a can of Jupiler, a bottle of Mionetto and more.

An easy way to satisfy a theme is to dress it up after the drink's bottle, but this isn't always possible if you're drawing inspiration from cocktails. In this case, you can take a page from @carlytheunic0rn's book and choose an outfit that reflects the sip's name or its color scheme.

You can even take the trend a step further and rock your go-to look for a night out, like @kerri.rainey et al. Unsurprisingly, the theme spawned some impressively creative outfits, including a colorful unicorn-shooting-inspired outfit, an Eras tour-style lavender mist dress, and a mint-iced suit that could double as a Kentucky Derby outfit.

Another classic TikTok party tradition is betting on who will get the drunkest, but this trend changes when you talk about other drinks.

While you may not be the first group of friends to throw a themed party, there are countless ways to make your event unique. Keep in mind that you need to use BYOD when planning your look in case it affects your decision.
