IF you’re planning to rave until the early hours and have no idea what to wear, fear not, we’ve combined comfort with style for you.
Raves are all about losing yourself in immersive flashing strobes, embracing neon hues and dancing all night to bouncy electronic beats.
Ever since the 1990s birthed acid house culture, neon and sporty athleisure have defined the rave scene.
Right now couldn’t be a better time to go raving, both sports luxe AND fluorescent tones are at the forefront of fashion. A great excuse to go cut some shapes.
The main style rule you need to know is that comfort is key - you won’t see anyone in high heels. Practicality first, i.e. hands-free bum bags and cushioned wedge trainers.
To help you choose from the extensive range of athleisure online now, we’ve selected some hot outfits to get you raving in style.
What should I bring to a rave?
You'll need a bum bag full of all the essentials to keep you going all night.
Bring along a portable phone charger, as you'll definitely use up your battery by taking all of those videos.
Keeping your phone fully charged is super important, as you don't want to lose your friends.
A lot of people bring ear plugs, too.
These will protect your ears but still allow you to vibe to the music.
Make sure you have cash with you to buy drinks and water, too.
If heat is a problem, you might want to bring a fan.
As long as your chewing gym and lip balm are sealed, you can bring them in too.
Can you wear jeans to a rave?
Jeans don't allow much room to bust some moves, so stick to something that allows you to shake those limbs.
Raves are non-judgemental zones, though, so if you do choose to wear jeans- don't worry, no one will judge you.
Remember, it's a rave not fashion week.
Raves are your opportunity to wear whatever you want, no matter how wacky.
Neon Vibes
Raves are a place you can go full neon and no one is gonna judge you for it - bring back the acid house 90s with this look.
