Styling booty shorts can be a bit tricky, especially if you’re new to the rave and festival scenes. They’re fantastic for dancing and partying while making sure you stand out, but how do you wear them just right? Here are some basic do’s and don’ts to help you rock your cheeky booty shorts outfit like a pro.
**What to Do:**
1. **Choose the Right Fit**
Selecting the right size for your booty shorts is crucial. They should fit snugly, highlighting your curves without uncomfortable bulging, sliding, or riding up. We’ve got a detailed size guide to make sure your Devil Walking purchase fits perfectly.
2. **Wear Suitable Underwear**
The wrong underwear can affect how your booty shorts look. Avoid boxers and boyshorts, which can peek out or alter the fit. Opt for high-cut briefs or thongs to keep the clean lines intact. Always do a mirror check before heading out.
3. **Coordinate Your Outfit**
While booty shorts are a statement on their own, coordinating your outfit is key. Pay attention to fabrics, prints, and patterns to create a cohesive look that turns heads for the right reasons. Need a shortcut? Check out our 2-piece sets with pre-matched designs.
4. **Pick the Right Shoes**
Your footwear can complete your look. Consider edgy moto or army boots for a badass vibe, tight over-the-knee boots to elongate your legs, ultra-high heels for extra flair, Lita boots for a rebellious touch, or comfy sneakers for endless dancing. Match your shoes with the tones of your outfit for the best effect.
5. **Go for Comfort and Style**
Above all, make sure your outfit feels fantastic. Your clothes should support you in being the freest, most unrestrained version of yourself. Choose pieces that are comfortable, stylish, and make you feel fabulous.
**What to Avoid:**
1. **Avoid Oversized Tops**
Don’t overshadow your booty shorts with long or baggy tops. Instead, pair them with a snug crop top to amp up your rave queen vibes. This rule extends to winter tops too—the shorter, the better.
2. **Don’t Mix Incompatible Fabrics**
Pairing spandex shorts with a wool sweater might not be a great idea. For a harmonious look, try to match fabrics. Elastic lycra tops match perfectly with lycra bottoms, while denim shorts offer more flexibility with materials like cotton and polyester.
3. **Avoid Clashing Patterns**
Mixing prints can be a style minefield. Keep it simple: don’t pair printed shorts with patterned tops, avoid dressing in all-neutral tones, coordinate at least one color, and mix prints with similar intensity. If this seems too complex, consider ready-made rave sets designed by fashion experts.
4. **Don’t Buy Low-Quality Shorts**
Poor-quality shorts can ruin your experience. Make sure they’re squat-proof and not see-through, and that the seams hold up. It’s best to invest in a reputable brand for your rave outfit so you can look and feel out of this world. Ready to rave? You’re in the right place!
