Raves bring people together for the music, but fashion is also part of the scene. Remember that raver chicks are both girly and grungy, lovable and hard-nosed.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Hair Accessories
  • Handbags
  • Sneakers
  • Women's Boots
  • Women's Casual Tops
  • Women's Causal Pants
  • Women's Sandals
  • Women's Shorts
  • Body Glitters
  • Body Shimmer
  • Makeup Kits
  1. Step 1

    Expect to sweat off all your makeup, but dust on baby-blue or light-silver eye shadow anyhow. Be liberal with the body glitter.

  2. Step 2

    Tie your hair in pigtails. Or sweep it all up in a messy bun and stud it with little butterfly clips.

  3. Step 3

    Wind plenty of shiny plastic beads around your neck and wrists.

  4. Step 4

    Dress in loud, primary colors.

  5. Step 5

    Wear soft fabrics like felt, corduroy and velvet.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze into a halter or spaghetti-strap top. Or try a baby T-shirt, or a sports bra on its own. Dress as lightly as possible since you'll sweat profusely.

  7. Step 7

    Bottoms should be big and roomy so that you can move easily. Slip on baggy pants that sit low on your waist and show a little belly.

  8. Step 8

    Wear sneakers or other flat shoes in which you can dance comfortably for long periods.

  9. Step 9

    Consider strapping on a mini backpack, maybe in the shape of a furry animal, that can hold your belongings.

Tips & Warnings
  • Accessorize with angel wings (the kind you might see as part of a Halloween costume).
  • Paint your nails with glow-in-the-dark polish.

Grow up people.

on 8/8/2009 Wouldn't wearing velvet or felt cause you to sweat to death? It hardly seems like an appropriate fabric choice.
