The fashion trends inside the club scene have directly influenced the streetwear of our time since decades, shaping an imaginary with clear roots from the dance culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Clubwear\"<\/p>\n

The clubber codes settled in at the end of the 80\u2019s and beginning of the 90\u2019s, a period where the new generation found answers to their questions in the night life as an act of rebellion against the system<\/strong>. The youth found a shelter in the raves, not only as a way of entertainment but also as an anti-establishment action, which was driving the club culture movement beyond any lifestyle\u2019s aesthetics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dancing in between neon lights and aggressive electro beats isn\u2019t just a night time activity, but also a lifestyle that embraces a whole community. A clear example is what happened this year after the death of Keith Flint, <\/strong>singer of The Prodigy<\/strong>, when people from all around the world gathered at his funeral to say goodbye to the mentor that created a macro-rave where you could even get free tattoos.<\/p>\n

In the rave culture there is no existing marketing or pretentiousness. Its whole imaginary emerged and flowed naturally, and so did their irrevocable actions in the fashion world that aren\u2019t anything else than a side effect from a mass movement driven by an overwhelming force.<\/strong> The scene\u2019s origin and consolidation have played a key role in the contemporary urban fashion, an industry that explored the clubber world, dissecting every element and creating a fused new streetwear from it. Among their appearance it is likely to find codes from the workwear, skater, militarism, techno and punk aesthetics. <\/strong>The basic ingredients to make the perfect clubwear cocktail. Its magnetism caught the attention of premium and luxury brands like Vetements<\/strong> or United Standard<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> who contributed to bring all these clothes that first saw the light in the nightclub scene to high-fashion shows. The Russian gabber scene, the dance culture from London and the techno paradise in Berlin show how the clubwear style can be so omnipresent<\/strong>, with all its different branches that grow in a unique atmosphere with a few elements in common that are always represented.<\/p>\n

Extraterrestrial sneakers<\/h5>\n

Inside the clubwear\u2019s heritage it is likely to find retro-kitsch garments inspired by science fiction, with exaggerated silhouettes and metalized details which seem to have been taken out of a spaceship. Good examples of these elements are the Nike MX-720-818 or the Nike Women’s Zoom X Vista Grind.<\/p>\n

DIY<\/h5>\n

The DIY culture also occupies a big part of any clubwear wardrobe, with deconstructed pieces and homemade dyes. Washed out textiles, acid-wash and tie-dye are the most used methods. We went through the last boom of this easy-to-make-at-home trend in 2019, when despite of its hippie DNA it even covered Polo Ralph Lauren<\/a> shirts and walked next to Louis Vuitton. In the streetwear scene, the South Korean thisisneverthat\u00ae has been one of the best featuring these kind of striking prints, added to the brand\u2019s sober and sophisticated touch. The thisisneverthat\u00ae Acid Washed Short-Sleeve T-Shirt<\/a> couldn\u2019t be a better example of it. This DIY technics are also displayed by other T-Shirts like the summertime Champion Logo Cropped Short-Sleeve T-Shirt<\/a> and hoodies as the \u00a0Stussy Crystal Wash Hoodie<\/a> or the Diadora x Paura Logo Hoodie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neon<\/h5>\n

The neon lights in the clubs opt for colors as fuchsia, yellow or green at their brightest form, standing out in the darkness of the venue. The clubwear garments adopt this concept, raising the brightness of these colors as the main component in order to complete a look. The Nike Air Dress<\/a> or the Carhartt WIP Script Hat<\/a> are in the game.<\/p>\n

All-black<\/h5>\n

The looks inside the European clubs show a subtle alternative where the color black and sobriety play a key role. The designer Yohji Yamamoto<\/a> has emerged as one of the greatest references of the dark aesthetic that sound like hi hats, experimental beats and aggressive noise. Besides his monochromatic designs, the clothes and accessories that emerge from this concept also play with different dimensions, opting for oversized silhouettes, technical textiles and a solid industrial aesthetic. From Japan\u2019s underground fashion to the darkness of the Berlin clubs, this techwear focuses on quality and manufacture, taking a bet on premium urban pieces. With the adidas Y-3 Travel Reversible Vest<\/a> and the Jogger adidas Y-3 Workwear Wide<\/a> we would have a complete look, but you will also find it in other designer\u2019s pieces that tend to avoid the popular trends and traditional colors, like this A-COLD-WALL* Rubber Logo Classic Cap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"all-black\"<\/p>\n

Gabber<\/h5>\n

The raves that started in the 90\u2019s in Eastern Europe, specially in Russia, have become one of the biggest influences on clubwear. In the general fashion scene, it was just a few years ago when the classic 80\u2019s tracksuit rose like a Phoenix stronger than ever. The clubwear maintained this tendency over decades, recuing the tracksuits from the parents\u2019 wardrobe, using dynamic and controversial colors and creating a retro style. Adidas leads this scene with examples as this adidas Jacket<\/a> or this adidas PT3 GORE\u2011TEX Infinium Windrunner<\/a>, two pieces that broadcast the pure spirit of vintage clothing. The German brand returns to its football heritage and becomes one of the greatest masters of the sport aesthetics\u2019 comeback.<\/p>\n

\"gabber\"<\/p>\n

Y2K<\/h5>\n

A must in every raver\u2019s wardrobe, the Y2K aesthetic symbolize the authentic trashy club energy like no other. Cyclist sunglasses like the Oakley Sutro<\/a> or sneakers with cushioning columns or spikes like the Nike Women’s Shox TL Nova<\/a> are accessories capable of transmitting the gabberwear spirit to a whole outfit. Fluorescent orange, green or yellow are the key ingredients on these classic designs from the beginning of the new millennium.<\/p>\n

\"Y2k\"<\/p>\n

Brutalism<\/h5>\n

The brutalist aesthetics is distinguished by a remarkable tendency to black, with recurrent \u2018beta version\u2019 graphics and new-wave patterns. With futuristic, utilitarian and eclectic designs, this trend has stablished as one of the most popular ways to dress in the underground clubs, where experimental beats and industrial techno abound. The United Standard Hand Short-Sleeve T-Shirt<\/a> shows clearly the brutalist abilities of United Standard. Another great examples are the M+RC Fake Pocket Hoodie<\/a> or the Vans x Jim Goldberg Short-Sleeve T-Shirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"brutalism\"<\/p>\n

Kitsch<\/h5>\n

Inside the clubwear we can also find a slight tendency to the kitsch aesthetics, specially in the 90s raves, when all the parties used to be drenched in wacky make-up and accessories that seemed to belong to a child\u2019s costume. Chinatown Market renews the kitsch style that we are used to adding streetwear strokes like the Chinatown Market Smiley Akila<\/a> Sunglasses. One of the best options to complete your kitsch look can be a vintage shirt with a souvenir appearance, such as this Polo Ralph Lauren Printed Short-Sleeve T-Shirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n
