What to wear to Zante parties: white nights, dress codes and beach afternoons
Total white on Tuesday, Italian elegance on Wednesday, dress to impress on Friday and Saturday: the 2026 dress codes, and a packing list for 2027.
Most of the 2026 nights in this guide came without a published dress code. Four had one, and they gave the week its rhythm: total white on Tuesday at Club Barrage, Italian elegance on Wednesday at Gatsby, dress to impress on Friday back at Barrage, and dress to impress again on Saturday at AURA, set on the club's own Dolce Vita page. Here is what each organiser, club and poster asked for, how the afternoons and boat days looked, and what to pack so every outfit is ready when the 2027 tickets open.
Tuesday: total white at Martedì Bianco
Martedì Bianco at Club Barrage made white the headline of the night. Its official page called the Total White dress code the real star of the evening, and the poster showed white and silver. It ran every Tuesday in 2026, from its opening party on 7 July to its closing party on 8 September, with a drink included and DJs Dim Strav and Giorgio, plus guest DJ Pasky, on the bill.
It is the one night of the week when colour sets the rule, so plan a complete white outfit before you travel. Shoes and accessories in white or silver finish the look.
Wednesday: Italian elegance at Gatsby
Italiano Night at Gatsby Live Theater, every Wednesday from 15 July to 26 August 2026, set its dress code as Italian elegance: dress to impress in your most stylish outfit. The poster listed a drink included.
The four Sunday headliner nights at Gatsby published no dress code.
Friday: dress to impress at Elegant Party
Elegant Party, back at Club Barrage every Friday from 10 July to 4 September 2026, carried its dress code in its name: dress to impress. The organiser described stylish outfits, a main room and a garden under the stars, and the poster listed house and reggaeton, a 00:00 start and a drink included. Think of the outfit you would choose for a special dinner out.
On five Fridays the pirate boat party and Elegant Party fell on the same day: 17 and 24 July and 7, 14 and 21 August 2026. If you plan both, have the Friday outfit ready to change into when you are back on land.

Saturday: dress to impress at Dolce Vita
Dolce Vita, the Italian Saturday at AURA on Laganas Street, ran every Saturday from 11 July to 29 August 2026, with a drink included. Its poster and ticket page published no dress code, but AURA's own page for the night did: dress to impress. The club's page promises Italian hits, chart songs from around the world, dance anthems and tunes everyone sings along to, so choose something sharp that you can also dance in.
On four of those Saturdays, 18 and 25 July and 1 and 8 August, Champagne Spray Italiano at Pure Zante came first, from 17:30 to 21:00. If you plan both, keep the evening outfit dry and change after the spray.

Afternoons on the sand: beachwear and a change for later
No dress code was published for the beach parties, which happened on the sand. The Tuesday party at Infinity Beach Club ran from 17:00 to 21:00, and the Thursday Paradiso Sunset Party at El Paradiso Beach Club from 18:00, pictured by its organiser as drink in hand and feet in the sand. Beachwear, sunglasses and sandals fit perfectly.
Saturday's Champagne Spray Italiano at Pure Zante is the exception worth planning for: every guest got a bottle, and between 19:30 and 20:00 the whole crowd sprayed at once. Wear something that can happily take a spray.

Boat days: swimwear underneath
Both 2026 boats had swims built in. The Wednesday Mamma Mia! trip had four stops and two swim breaks, at Marathonisi and Mizithres, and the pirate ship stopped for a swim in the Blue Caves. Wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a towel and sun protection.

The nights with free style
The other nights in this guide came without a published dress code in 2026: Little Italy and Papi Chulo at Sizzle Club, Favelas at Garrison Club, the Latin Party at Club Barrage and the Sunday headliners at Gatsby. Dress for a summer club night and for dancing. The Favelas poster, with its Brazilian colours, is a good hint if you like a theme.
