So you and your friends are getting ready for your next show...
...and the adrenaline is already running through your body!
You've got your festival ticket, your camping spot booked, your transportation covered...
But what about your outfits?
Beyond the music, another big draw of raves and festivals is being able to wear whatever you want. It's the one place where you can truly express yourself.
However, with all of the options available, sometimes it can be a little bit overwhelming to decide on what outfit to wear.
But don't freak out, dressing for a rave shouldn’t be a headache.
Raves are the perfect place to simply be yourself and forget about the stresses of everyday life.
Seeing as your fellow ravers are there to follow the PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) credo, no matter what you wear people will be accepting and friendly towards you anyway.
Ok … any ideas about what to wear?
Get creative and take a look at our suggestions below. Just remember that the venue and weather are important factors to keep in mind, so you better search for the weather expectations before anything else.

Rave Outfit Tips
No matter whether you are a first-timer or a rave veteran leave the shyness at the door and wear whatever makes you feel cozy and confident.
Even though there are no fashion rules or any dress code, there are some common outfit themes that people tend to follow.
Let’s go through some of the rave clothing ideas that will help you decide on a fantastic outfit.
Guys Rave Outfits
Anything goes for guys… so don’t even think about stressing out when choosing your clothing, just choose the style you like and make sure you're comfortable.
Shirt and tank!
You can always get away with wearing a tee to these events, but come on … you are going to a festival, be more exciting and stay away from the plain tee shirt style. Instead, try bright color combinations or the ones with funny MEME's.
What do you think about Keep Calm and Rave On, or Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat printed on your tee? Definitely better than an all-black-shirt.
The same concept works for tanks, unlike tees these allow you to show off all the hours spent at the gym.
The key is to wear something red and comfy.
What else? Well… Rave pants and shorts.
Cargo shorts, UFO pants, phat pants, everything is valid as long as you feel cozy enough to show your dance moves.
Girls Rave Outfits

Tops, tops, and more tops!
Hey, girls, there are limitless rave clothing options to suit your personality. Crop tops, rave bras, tank tops, bikini tops, and much more that are also flawless for different occasions.

A Touch Of Flavor
To complete your look and to achieve that unique style you'll need some rave accessories.
Reflective sunglasses, hats, caps, colored LED necklaces and bracelets are among the most popular.
