If you’re going to a rave soon, you’ll want all the essentials—some cool rave glasses, ear plugs, comfortable shoes, and the most out-there outfit you can find. Glitter, neon, and clothing that shows off your body is all appropriate rave wear, so don’t worry too much about picking the perfect outfit—just find something that makes you feel confident. Think bright colors and clothing that makes you stand out. Raves are more about hanging with your friends and getting into the party aesthetic, so you don’t want to be that person left standing in a t-shirt and regular shorts.

If you don’t know what to wear, booty shorts for women are a go-to basic. They’re sexy, comfortable, and easy to slip on and off—unlike some other (admittedly impressive) rave outfits full of straps and lace. No matter how wild your outfit is, it’s almost guaranteed that someone at that rave will be giving off main character energy—so don’t be afraid to try something new. If you’re still unsure, wearing booty shorts should be familiar enough. You can find thong and high-cut booty shorts that will put your favorite bikini bottoms to shame—and they come in so many cute colors and patterns too.

Add a Skirt for Flair

If you’re wearing a hi-cut booty short and are looking for something a little extra, you can slip on a colorful, translucent skirt on top. There’s no need for pastels at a rave—go for those bright neon 80s-style pinks, oranges, yellows, and greens so you’ll glow like a beacon in the dark. You could even make it a set with booty shorts for women, a neon slip skirt, and a clasp top or bra that matches the color of your skirt. Raves are the place to color coordinate—oh, but don’t worry about clashing. You’ll be swimming in a sea of color anyway.

Trip People Out with Reflective Booty Shorts

Half the fun of a rave is the cool lights and special effects, and you want to make yourself a part of the show.
