In honor of August and September being the most popular birthday months of the year, I decided to do a post with birthday outfits to inspire any girl whose birthday is coming up, whether it’s in the next few days or next few months!
My birthday is definitely my favorite day of the year. I can get away with almost anything, my mom buys me red velvet cupcakes, I get to wear the sparkliest, most daring outfit I want, and no one can say anything about it because it’s MY day! I think every girl should have the right to be completely outrageous for at least one day of the year, and what better excuse than your birthday?

With these outfits, there’s no doubt that you’ll be the center of attention all night. Even if it’s not your birthday, these outfits will bring out your inner shine and make you the most confident girl in the room. Even better, each outfit comes with its own matching cupcake – everyone’s favorite birthday treat!

Birthday Outfit #1: Birthday Bombshell
Products: Jeans – Nordstrom, Top – Nordstrom, Shoes – Mango, Ring – Revolve
This birthday outfit is fun yet still captivating, bringing back the boot cut jeans and adding some low red heels.
The hint of gold from the ring adds a little something extra to this otherwise minimal look. This would be a great outfit idea for drinks with friends!
And while you’re wearing this, be sure to treat yourself to a delicious red velvet cupcake (my personal favorite).

Birthday Outfit #2: Sleek and Sexy
Products: Dress – Revolve, Shoes – Steve Madden, Bag – Nordstrom
Who says you have to go bright and bold for your birthday? If you have a minimal style, this is the birthday outfit for you.
This tight, corset like dress is totally hot and perfect for the girl who wants to look sleek on her birthday — I could see this for dinner and then drinks and dancing. The slight different texture in the bag breaks up the dress and the shoes and makes the look more interesting.
Wear this outfit while eating a delectable brownie chocolate cupcake to kick off your best birthday yet.
Outfit #3: Sweet Like Candy
Products: Top – Asos, Skirt – Revolve, Boots – Asos, Bracelets – Club Monaco
This beautiful lilac-colored silk top is a perfect feminine outfit choice if you don’t want to dress up too girly on your birthday.
The leather skirt and black boots keeps the outfit on the edgier side, while the gold bracelets add a dainty touch.
Outfit #4: Pretty in Pink
Products: Jeans – Revolve, Top – Revolve, Heels – Revolve
This last outfit is perfect for birthday girls with a feminine and girly sense of style. This outfit, consisting of a beautiful lace top paired with medium wash jeans, would work for just about any birthday plans you might have. (It would pair well with any of our ideas from our 21st birthday ideas post!)
This look is casual, yet definitely still special.
The glitzy strap on the heel makes the outfit feel more dressed up for a birthday occasion. You need some sparkle on your birthday!
This is the perfect look to make you feel cheery on your birthday, so enjoy it with a pink frosted cupcake.
