Music & Rave Style Type


As a rave and music festival veteran, it is important to note that the type of rave or music festival you're attending can play a big factor in choosing your outfit. If you're going to a festival like Tomorrowland or Electric Daisy Carnival, which are known for their eclectic music and colorful atmosphere, you may want to go with more flashy and vibrant colors to complement the vibe.

If you're going to a more eclective rave or music festival like EDC or Tomorrowland, you may want to opt for a more colorful and vibrant outfit.

However, if you're headed to an event like Burning Man or a techno/trance music themed event, you may want to consider darker, and more subtle colors that reflect the mood and style of the event. Ultimately, the key is to choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable.

If you're going to a more underground or techno/house music based event, it is common to see more dark and subtle colors.

T-Shirts and Tank Tops


Depending on the weather, t-shirts and tank tops are the top tops of choice for a rave. With the wide selection of colors and designs out there, graphic t-shirts and tank tops are a great way to show off your personal style while keeping cool on the dance floor.

As mentioned earlier, if you're going to a more mixed style of rave like Tomorrowland or EDC, you can opt for rave tops in vibrant colors and graphic designs that will make you stand out from the crowd.

If you are going to a more chilled out or techno themed event like Burning Man or Coachella, you may prefer something more minimalistic, you try a simple tank top that's easy to move in. Or if the weather is warm enough, like many other guys, you can just go shirtless and show off the muscles you've been working on preparing for the rave!




Shorts and Pants


When it comes to bottoms for guys, it's fairly simple. Music festivals tend to be hosted around the warmer months so a nice pair of comfortable shorts will often suffice, perhaps a pair that will match your top and shoes. You will be dancing and moving a lot so you want to make sure you are wearing something that will keep you cool all day. If you are not wearing a bookbag or carry a cross-body bag, you may also want to make sure your shorts or pants have well fitted pockets that will comfortably and safely carry your belongings, such as your wallet and keys.

If you're going to a rave that is hosted around the cooler months, then it may be a good option to wear a pair of nice and lightweight cotton pants for easy mobility and breathability.

Volcom offers stretchy and comfortable shorts with pockets and a wide variety of colors that can match your outfit!



Comfortable Shoes!


Comfortable shoes are essential when it comes to raves and music festivals. You're going to be on your feet for hours on end, dancing and moving around, so you need to make sure your feet are well taken care of. Wearing the wrong shoes can lead to blisters, sore feet, and even injuries. That's why it's important to invest in a good pair of rave shoes that are comfortable, supportive, and will keep your feet feeling great all day and night long.



One of the most popular pair of sneakers of all time for raves and music festivals are Converse Chuck Taylors! Easy to clean, comfortable, and easy to match with most outfits!

Statement Accessories


And to top off the perfect rave outfit, having the right accessories can complete your look and make it even more unique. Accessories are almost essential in rave and music festival culture and can really show your character because a lot of times these accessories are low-cost and easily shareable so that you can spread the love to your rave friends and family!

For example, a common practice among ravers is wearing Kandi, which are colorful beaded bracelets that ravers share among each other. Sometimes ravers wear a whole armful of Kandi, just to share with their peers. Other popular rave accessories include items like hats, sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets, and cross-body bags for easier access to your belongings.

Adding accessories can really add some more flavor and uniqueness to your rave outfit.

One of the most popular accessories among all ravers is a pair of sunglasses that will protect your eyes from the bright lights and also make you look super cool. These sunglasses can be any shape, color, or form to match your outfit style.

Additionally, you can add a bandana or headband to your outfit, which will not only add some style but also keep your hair out of your face while dancing. Whatever accessories you choose, make sure they are comfortable to wear and won't distract from your enjoyment of the music and the experience of the rave.



Matching Couples and Whole Squad Outfits


If you're attending a festival or rave with a group, why not coordinate your outfits? Rave couple and whole squad outfits are a fun way to show your unity and style. Look for matching or complementary colors and designs that showcase your group's personality.


If you're going with a group, the outfit ideas are endless. You can get as funky or simple as you like, as long as you have fun!
