There are few and far in-between occasions during which we get to wear feather boas. They just aren’t as popular as they were back in the good old days of the silver screen. You could host a movie party as an excuse to break out the boas and everyone can walk around the party looking like a diva strutting their stuff, though you just can’t have a movie themed party every time there is a holiday occasion. Go ahead and throw off the chains of fashion and give feather boas out for every party no matter what the theme.

There are plenty of different types of feather boas for all ages. Kid’s love the small four foot rainbow feather boas that are made just for them. These boas go well as an accent for any little girl’s party. Regular adult boas are available in just about every single color, because it is so easy to dye them. You’ll find that most feather boas are made of turkey feathers, which are plentiful and take to dyes easily. Popular colors are red, blue, orange, yellow, green, white, black and pink. They are often intensely chromatic in color, but you will find the occasional pastel blue boa available.

Boas are also popular in multicolored versions. The rainbow boa is perfect for any sixties party. Also the Super boa comes in two colors, white with accents of another color usually pink, red or green. If your party is going to be held in a darker atmosphere, then you can pick up the flashing boa. This is a feather boa with several small LED lights in it, so that it starts flashing red when you turn it on. Or you can dress up your New Year’s Party with a black and silver boa or a white and gold boa. These boas contain small shiny strands of silver and gold Mylar for a classy look.
