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

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.
Step 2

Tie your hair in pigtails. Or sweep it all up in a messy bun and stud it with little butterfly clips.
Step 3

Wind plenty of shiny plastic beads around your neck and wrists.
Step 4

Dress in loud, primary colors.
Step 5

Wear soft fabrics like felt, corduroy and velvet.
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.
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.
Step 8

Wear sneakers or other flat shoes in which you can dance comfortably for long periods.
Step 9

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

on 10/7/2009 yeah thats the old school raver style.. now the newbie "ravers" are prostitots and dress up in there bras and underwear and maybe some fishnets. when u got to a rave these days, while ur picking out ur attire, you have to think "im going for a look that says, im a ****, but im also jail bait. mix and match my colorful bras and underwears!! :)"
Grow up people.
