EDM: Makin’ It Work: The Fabulous World of Local EDM Event Fashion

Looking your best for a night on the town can be challenging. Some people are naturals, while others struggle just to muster the motivation and inspiration to put effort into looking great at an event filled with people they mostly don’t know (I’m guilty of the latter). Fortunately for everyone, there are plenty of local electronic music event-goers who show up to parties and shows (perhaps only) to show how us how it’s done.

Sure, the scantily clad look will always have its place at raves and EDM shows, but, covered up or not, I’ve got to tip my proverbial hat to those who get hella creative with their outfits, inspiring everyone else to step up their game. First up, this lady doesn’t mess around when it comes to complementing themes! Not sure what the theme was that night at Manchester 65 in Warwick, or if there was one, but Juju killed it. The best part of her outfit is its simplicity (it looks to consist of a Spirit Hood-type headpiece, and a one or two piece dress [plus her hot pink hair]). She even matched the lighting!

This brings me to my next point: You don’t have to have a real costume to fit themes. But let’s be honest, guys and girls who play into the theme make for the best photos — sorry not sorry! Check out these ladies, Cupcake and Lin-z, going all out back at Tight Crew’s Toy Story 2 (April 11 at Fete).

It is easy to get attention for donning skimpy attire at a rave or other event (and just in general); however, fashion risk-takers and show-stoppers come in all forms, and sometimes the cutest outfits are the most conservative. Here, Taylor rocks a Jaws-inspired look at Tight Crew’s Adventure Island 2 (held on May 18 at The Windjammer in Westerly). Her costume was not only an awesome interpretation of the party’s theme, but it also stood out for being so damn cute-and-cuddly! Anyone who’s been to a rave is aware of the sensory euphoria some people experience at these types of events. I can only imagine how many people (complete strangers and friends included) rubbed on her dorsel fin that night!

An honorary mention also goes to Chris, the well-shaved https://yourfappeningblog.com/ and gauged guy to her left [not pictured: his girlfriend, who wore a matching floral romper that complemented her partner’s laid-back look.]

As these event-goers show, whether you choose to dress up or down to shows and parties, it’s all about having fun!
