5 Sexy Rave Outfits to Slay in This Season

‘Tis the season to get your swerve on, with raves coming at you from every direction. The madness of rave season means getting serious about your sartorial plan of attack. You must slay in every conceivable way, so I’ve put together this downright dangerous post, revealing the 5 sexy rave outfits to slay in this season. Buckle up. Let’s get sexy!

1. Laidback Extravagance

Keeping the vibe chill is anything but dull with the laidback extravagance of casual rave outfits. Wear them as your signature or add your personal autograph to beautifully made casual pieces that catch the sun’s rays by day and the flash of lasers by night. Holographic fabric that’s body-conforming and soft coddles you in slinky hoodies, leggings, and sexy separates you feel ridiculously good in. That’s the whole mission of this look. Extravagantly laid back, you shine like a beacon of chill that slays. Effortlessly but potently sexy, this is the rave outfit for charismatic, chill-by-nature, confident ravers.

2. Fly Your Anime Freak Flag

Paging all otakus. Your obsession with anime is the perfect rave outfit waiting to happen. Unexpected and definitely a little weird, rave welcomes the off-the-wall and original, so go be it. But remember: It’s not a costume; it’s a sartorial interpretation. Goku, for example, might be clad in voluminous, airy harem pants and bright blue combat boots, topped off by a sexy blue racerback t-shirt. Rave the look up with sensual body jewelry worthy of your chosen character. Suggest your anime idol in hair, makeup, and semiotics that speak to others like yourself and above all do your character proud. Slay like the heroes you are, otakus!

3. Space Cowgirl

Picture it: You’re the secret cousin of Lil Nas X and you have access to his closet. What are you going to borrow? The Space Cowgirl look draws from spacy 1970s glam rockers like David Bowie and Marc Bolan, layering that vibe with the huge cowboy fashion tendency. Lil Nas X is largely responsible for the ongoing explosion in Western looks. So, grab that over-the-top cowboy hat, a pair of shades with their own postal code, and the shortest pair of cutoffs you own to get boldly bad. Add a belt with a conspicuous buckle, wildly-hued hair extensions, and a pair of cowhide print boots. Throw a feather-trimmed, sequin shrug over your sexiest crop top and you are all that spacy sexiness. Take your horse to the old town road and slay hard, space cowgirl!

4. Sexy Love Revolutionary

Whichever sexy revolutionary you choose to draw inspiration from for this rave look, they’re bound to be hotter than a police file. The more hair the better, for we know that revolutionaries choose abundant follicles! Let your hair be your glorious crown, while “hippie revolutionary” flair is your theme. The Hippies had hair a plenty and with it, flared jeans slung low on the hips, embroidered and paneled. Worn with a sexy paper-thin t-shirt or an American flag button-through—a la Abbie Hoffman—you slay them with a love sublime. Channel Angela Davis with a sweet, full natural head and a t-shirt emblazoned with a raised fist. Start a love revolution for the hell of it. 

5. Daft Punk

The affinity between the punk movement of the mid-1970s to early 80s and rave culture becomes more apparent with every rave that passes. So, play to the crowd with a daft punk look that wears its safety pins on its sleeve. Expressive, aggressive, and extravagant in its rejection of sartorial norms, you can see why punk might re-emerge as a facet of the rave. Work the look with t-shirts torn apart, then re-constructed with safety pins of all sizes. Be a rebel and use gold safety pins instead of the classic punk silver. Leather, plaid, studs, straps, and hair that defends personal space with its prickly aggression bring the edge of punk to raves, ensuring that you don’t get too soft or worse—sell out! Slay with pointy-haired rage wrapped in safety pins and leather, you sexy beast!

Slay Softly and Carry a Big Love

Raves are all about the love, the sounds, the sights, and the groove. Throw yourself into the spirit of rave culture with roaring enthusiasm, revealing yourself without fear. The rave is your moment to temporarily wear a version of yourself you don’t often trot out. Trot that “you” out without blinking, drawing inspiration from these 5 sexy rave outfits to slay in this season of peace, love, unity, and respect. Carry that big love as you slay softly.
