Pasties: one of the most vital accessories to ever exist. They aren’t just there to look pretty, they save us from wardrobe malfunctions and allow us to wear even the most revealing tops. Here are a few tips on how to style pasties at your next rave:

Corsets

Corsets look great with triangle tops, but have you ever thought about just rocking one with pasties? Some corsets even have a built-in fishnet or mesh layer that is great for showing off a cute pair of pasties. Check out the False Alarm Fishnet Rainbow Reflective Corset for an example. Pair it with reflective pasties for the perfect, trendy look!

Mesh

My personal favorite use of pasties is under mesh. You’re still covered, but you can use the pasties as a visible accessory. Mesh is very breathable, so it won’t make you overheat while you’re dancing, even if you’re wearing long sleeves. The Reflective Wave Mesh Long Sleeve Crop Top looks awesome with pasties. When you add the matching skirt, you’ll have a fashionable outfit for any event!

Under a harness

Turn any harness into a top with pasties! If you find the perfect harness for your outfit and don’t want to put a top underneath, try pasties instead. They can stand out or blend in as much as you want, depending on the color and shape you choose. Pasties will give you so many options when styling a harness! These Black Vinyl Cross Pasties under the Troublemaker Chain Harness Top would make for a totally cool, edgy look.

Functional fashion

You don’t have to forgo all coverage to partake in this trend. Pasties can be essential with certain tops and bodysuits. Protect yourself from a wardrobe malfunction in even your smallest tops. Maybe you’re wearing something that is really low cut or a DIY shirt that you don’t fully trust. Instead of worrying about your outfit all night, dance with confidence with the added security of pasties! Go with a basic nude pasty or have a little fun with it and match them to your outfit.

Put them on display

One of the most beautiful things about the rave world is that you can wear literally whatever you want. No one is going to judge you or question your style, no matter how much or little coverage your outfit has to offer. If you are going to feel like your best self rocking pasties as a top, go for it! There are some really cute pasties out there, show them off. For example, these Glow-In-The-Dark Alien Pasties are meant to be seen at night at a festival.

Pasties are a super versatile accessory. You can take advantage of this trend even if you’re hoping the pasties will stay under the fabric of your shirt the entire night. No matter how you choose to style them, have fun and be yourself!
