It's easy to become carried away when it comes to rave wear and party outfits. Since clubwear is synonymous to sexy get-ups, women usually just wear extremely revealing outfits. Clubbing or attending rave parties should not be an excuse to don inappropriate clothing.
There's a fine line between looking sexy and being sleazy. Don't be a fashion victim and take a couple of helpful hints below:

Common Mistake #1: Improper Attire
This normally happens in three scenarios: a) no prior knowledge of dress code for the venue, b) desire to show-off everything all at once, and c) lack of basic fashion sense. Although it's a club and the night would be full of dancing, it's still important for a woman to look classy. Generally, party clothing should be classy and casual, yet fun and flirty.

QUICK FIX TIPS
- Know the venue beforehand, or at least the street where the event is supposed to take place. There are some clubs who have strict dress codes and it would be unfortunate if you can't enter because of outfit choice.
- Decide on one body part or area to show-off. Be it the legs, chest, or arms, a classy woman NEVER reveals all. There should still be an air of mystery – even with the lights out!
- Prepare for the clubbing by having at least one or two club dresses in your wardrobe.
Common Mistake #2: Jeans and Shirt
Casual doesn't necessarily mean wearing your everyday get-up. A night out in the town would require something flashy and tasteful. After a hard week's work, it's every girl's chance to get all dolled up and pretty. Don't waste this opportunity to look and feel glamorous!

QUICK FIX TIPS
- If you're not comfortable with sexy club dresses, skinny jeans in a dark shade (cobalt blue or black) are your best bet. Pair it with a silk blouse or a metallic top. This is a fashion emergency go-to attire though – it's not advisable to wear it every time you go out.
- In the event that you had no idea you will be clubbing for that night (hence you're stuck with the dreaded shirt-and-jeans look), accessories should do the trick. Sparkly necklaces or glittery shoes would make your get-up stand out in a way. Don't forget a splash of red lipstick!
Common Mistake #3: Basic Black
Although black is a timeless classic, it can be unflattering to wear to a rave party or a night-out. Strobe lights and dim lighting will make this color unnoticeable; not to mention that dust and foreign particles would be clearly visible.

QUICK FIX TIPS
- Choose bold and vibrant colors instead like fiery red, emerald green, or fancy gold. The point of going to a party is to stand out above the crowd – so do it in style!
- Want to attract more attention? Buy outfits with rave lights attached to them. There are various tops and skirts with LED's perfect for such occasions.
Remember: clubwear is all about being fabulous – so have fun and experiment!
