Since the late 1980s, rave fashion has undergone constant evolution with each new generation of ravers. Many of the rave fashion trends have appeared internationally, but there were also individual developments from region to region and from scene to scene.<ref name="redbull_rave_fashion">{{cite web|last=Bouteba |first=Miriam |url=https://www.redbull.com/ie-en/guide-to-european-rave-fashion |title=A guide to 25 years of European rave fashion |publisher=[[Red Bull]] | date=13 November 2017 |access-date=5 February 2020}}</ref>

At early rave parties, often costume-like clothes and garments with signal color look such as protective suits, [[High-visibility clothing|safety vests]], [[dust mask|dust]] and [[gas mask]]s were worn and combined with accessories such as vacuum cleaners or [[cyberpunk]] inspired [[goggles]]. Clothing with slogans such as "[[Peace Love Unity Respect|Peace, Love, Unity]]" and smiley-face T-shirts first appeared with the acid house movement of the 1980s. Further popular themes of the early rave scene were plastic aesthetics, various fetish styles, [[DIY]], 1970s, second-hand optics, retro sportswear (such as [[Adidas]] tracksuits), sex (showing much skin and nudity, e.g. wearing transparent or crop tops), war (e.g. in the form of combat boots or camouflage trousers), and science fiction.<ref name="rave_and_clubwear">{{cite web|last=Sack |first=Adriano |url=https://032c.com/rave-before-streetwear-there-was-clubwear |title=RAVE: Before Streetwear There Was Clubwear |publisher=[[032c]] | date=21 February 2019 |access-date=5 February 2020}}</ref>

Common fashion styles of the 1990s include tight-fitting nylon shirts, tight nylon quilted vests, [[bell-bottoms]], neoprene jackets, studded belts, [[platform shoe]]s, jackets, scarves and bags made of [[flokati]] fur, [[Fluffy (footwear)|fluffy boots]] and [[phat pants]], often in bright and neon colours. Also gaudy coloured hair, dreadlocks, tattoos and piercings came into fashion with ravers. Widespread accessories included wristbands and collars, [[whistle]]s, [[pacifier]]s, white gloves, [[glow stick]]s, [[feather boa]]s, oversized [[sunglasses]], and record bags made of truck tarpaulins.<ref name="spiegel_special">{{cite magazine |url=https://magazin.spiegel.de/EpubDelivery/spiegel/pdf/7441075 |title=Jung ist die Nacht: CLUB-TIPS |trans-title=Young is the night: club tips |magazine=[[Der Spiegel|Spiegel Special]] |date=1 August 1998 |language=de |access-date=20 June 2019 |archive-date=11 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171111164157/http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/spiegelspecial/d-7441075.html }}</ref><ref name="Muri_1999">{{cite book |last1=Muri |first1=Gabriela |title=Aufbruch ins Wunderland?: Ethnographische Recherchen in Zürcher Technoszenen 1988–1998 |trans-title=Departure into wonderland?: Ethnographic research in Zurich techno scenes 1988–1998 | publisher=Chronos Verlag |date=1999 |isbn=9783034011785 |language=de}}</ref> In the early 1990s the first commercial rave fashion trends developed from this, which were quickly taken up by the fashion industry and marketed under the term ''clubwear''.<ref name="rave_and_clubwear"/> Different dress codes also evolved in the various sub-scenes of the rave culture. For example, the typical [[gabber]] or [[psytrance]] raver dressed significantly different from "normal" ravers, but common basic features remained recognisable.

Since the 2000s, the clothing style of the rave culture remains heterogeneous, as do its followers. Particularly in North America, rave fashion continues to be characterised by colourful clothing and accessories, most notably the "kandi" jewellery that fluoresces under ultraviolet light.{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}} They contain words or phrases that are unique to the raver and that they can choose to trade with each other using "PLUR" (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). This style of attire was again taken up by the fashion industry and marketed as "rave fashion" or "festival fashion", now includling all kinds of accessories to create unique looks depending on event.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laweekly.com/music/the-evolution-of-rave-fashion-4391090|title=The Evolution of Rave Fashion|author=Mary Grace Cerni|work=L.A.
