Candy kids, or sweet ravers, are probably the most wonderful people you can meet at a rave party. The term 'Candy' refers to both the sweet treats these ravers love and the colorful accessories they wear. Here’s your guide on how to become part of the happiest subculture!

Revamp your wardrobe. Sweet ravers love to dress in bright, bold, neon colors. When heading to a rave, try to be practical and don’t wear too much clothing, as it can get really HOT. Tutus are great; they’re cute and allow for free leg movement. Baggy pants are another rave staple, as their large pockets can hold water bottles, candy, and anything else you want to bring. A bright, colorful t-shirt and a pair of customized jeans will also create a fantastic look. Accessories should be fluffy or related to childhood characters, like Care Bears or Hello Kitty.

IT'S CANDY TIME!

Step 8

IT'S CANDY TIME! Head to a toy store or craft store and buy a kid’s jewelry-making kit (the larger beads are best, as they are a Candy mainstay). Make as many beaded bracelets (including single, double, triple, X-pattern, UFO, checkerboard, epic, etc.) and necklaces as you can, and wear them all before you go out. The more you have, the more noise you’ll make while dancing. Add bells, charms, or toys. Pacifiers are also used, but remember that they might have been used for teething, so watch out for any potential contamination. Typically, Candy is made from brightly colored beads, mixed with other colors (for example, pink and green on dark blue.. red, teal, and yellow).
