The dress code
We haven’t found solid fashion-press coverage of this festival’s style yet, so this section sticks to what the rules, weather and music tell us.
We haven't sourced fashion-press coverage of EDC Orlando's style. The festival's own pages say a good deal, though: illuminated costumes are welcome, comfort comes first, and comfortable sneakers beat sandals. Rave style in general centres on kandi and light-up pieces. The outfits below stick to those points.
- Allowed: "glowing/illuminated costumes or jewelry", LED whips and LED hoops. EDC Orlando: Hours & Info
- "Comfortable sneakers are the best way to go, especially if you're planning to tear up the dancefloor. Sandals and flip-flops can make for sore feet." EDC Orlando: Health
- General context, not Orlando-specific: North American rave style centres on kandi jewellery that glows under UV and is traded under PLUR. Wikipedia: Rave
