A Monster High Dress to Impress outfit isn’t just about clothes—it’s about bringing your inner monster to life with bold style, spooky vibes, and lots of personality. In this guide, we’ll show you how to build the perfect DTI theme step by step.

What is the Monster High DTI theme?

• Build your outfit around a monster persona (vampire, werewolf, zombie, etc.)
• Mix spooky elements with school-girl style
• Add statement accessories like chunky boots, bat wings, or chains
• Use contrasting patterns and bright makeup

Here is everything you need to know before creating your Monster High DTI outfit:

1. Choose your monster persona

Pick your inspiration—either a classic Monster High character or an original monster design. Some common personas include:

• Vampire (Draculaura): Romantic goth with pink and black
• Werewolf (Clawdeen): Wild glam with animal prints and gold accents
• Frankenstein’s Monster (Frankie): Punk-preppy with plaid and stitching
• Sea Creature (Lagoona Blue): Beachy pastels, scale textures, and aquatic accessories
• Zombie (Ghoulia Yelps): Retro nerd chic with red accents and glasses

Your persona should influence your color palette, clothing, and accessories.

2. Build a freaky-fab DTI outfit

Monster High DTI outfits are school-ready with a spooky twist. Think layers, textures, and character-specific flair.

Look for:

• Plaid skirts, corset tops, or fishnet stockings
• Mini dresses with gothic lace or spiderweb details
• Leather jackets, striped tops, or off-shoulder sweaters
• Monster motifs like bones, stitches, bat wings, or claws

3. Hair and Makeup Should Scream "Monster Chic"

Monster High hair is always a statement—unusual colors, high volume, and edgy styles are key.

• Hair colors: Pastel pinks, jet black, electric blue, silver streaks, or neon green
• Styles: High pigtails, streaked ponytails, wild curls, or sleek side parts

Makeup tips:

• Dark lips (black, deep red, or bright pink)
• Colored eyeshadow to match your character theme
• Blush and highlight for a plastic-doll glow
• Monster details: Scars, stitches, fangs, or ghoulish eyes (use face accessories if available)

4. Add statement accessories and monster details

This is where you go all-out to sell the look.

• Chunky boots or spiked heels
• Bat wings, horns, ears, or tails depending on your monster type
• Funky bags: Coffin purses, skull backpacks, or heart-shaped clutches
• Oversized belts, bracelets, chokers, or fishnet gloves
• Sunglasses or glasses with unique frames (heart, lightning bolt, etc.)
