It’s official! The Saturday night theme for the Schoolies Festival™ is op shop!!
Now, the nice thing about the op shop theme is that it’s very broad,. Which means you can get away with anything really! But, if you’re still feeling a bit lost, fear not! We’ve got you covered with these 10 fantastic op shop outfit ideas for your Saturday night!
1. Macklemore
The first thing I think of when I hear the word “op shop” is the ever classic Macklemore tune. If you’re needing some visual inspiration, check out Macklemore + Ryan Lewis’ music video for their song “Thrift Shop”.
2. Go Big or Go Home
