According to The Sun, Geri, who married F1 boss Christian Horner in 2015, is demanding a 'middle-class housewife' look for the tour.
The publication states that Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton have acquired the services of theatrical designer Gabriella Slade, who will be creating their outfits for the tour.
But it appears that Gabriella will not be recreating Geri's iconic 90's look, which was first worn at The BRIT Awards in 1997, as the star favours a much more demure appearance these days.
A source revealed: 'All the girls have fully embraced this zeitgeist reunion, even if it means wearing clothes they wouldn’t necessarily pluck from their own wardrobes.'

Explaining that mother-of-two Geri wouldn't want to revert back to her outlandish looks, they continued: 'Understandably she wants to look more age-appropriate. She doesn’t want to be prancing around the stage in a sequinned Union Flag minidress with her boobs out and wearing leather knee-high boots.
They added: 'Fans have been taking the mick out of her sedate, lady-of-the-manor look while even the girls have made a couple of jokey remarks about her posh new Boden housewife aesthetic.'
However, the insider added that fans may still see a glimpse of Geri's 90's look as Gabriella has apparently worked with the singer on a 'refined yet theatrical' version of the dress.
The Spice Girls will take to the stage on their first tour without Victoria Beckham, who is unable to take part in the shows due to work commitments.

Emma recently insisted that the Spice Girls tour will go ahead as planned despite claims that Geri and Mel B had fallen out.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, which aired on Saturday, Baby Spice said things are 'all good' in the group, following Mel's shock revelation that she slept with Geri during the early days of the band.
Following reports the Spice Girls tour is in jeopardy, Emma stressed: 'Of course it's happening, we are starting rehearsals on Monday!
'It's all fine. We have all chatted about it. Listen, we had fun back in the day. I didn't know anything else but you know, we are all good.'

Mel said on Piers Morgan's Life Stories that she and Geri had previously slept together.
In the clip, Piers is seen asking Mel: 'You were coming here to be brutally honest - did or didn't you sleep with Geri Halliwell? Did you sleep with her?'
Looking bashful, Mel at first tries to dodge the question, telling Piers: 'Yeah. We all slept in a bed together, but not like that, all of us.'
But Piers was relentless, asking: 'Did you sleep with Geri like that?' to which Mel smiles and nods as a shocked Piers checks, 'Yes? Really?'

'She's going to hate me for this because she's all posh in her country house with her husband,' said Mel of Geri, who is married to Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner.
The tour was even in jeopardy at one point after Geri denied Mel B's claims in a statement and said she felt 'hurt' by the speculation, wanting to move on she added that she still loved all four of her bandmates and was looking forward to the tour.
While it was claimed Geri was furious with Mel for making the admission, Emma insisted in another recent interview on Lorraine that all is well between the ladies.
She said: 'There's always a hoo-ha! We're in the studio and we're laughing, we love the drama. We're having a ball. We sit there having our lunch and reading it.'
The shows begin May 24 at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland and finish on June 15 at Wembley Stadium in London.
