What makes phat pants glow

Similar to music, some traditions have changed, and some have attached to us through time. Since the beginning of our rave time in the late 80s, there have been some trends that have followed throughout the decades, for example, glow, bright colors, even the style of shoes being worn. This cartoon art was on almost every raver's attire and bonded everyone who shared wearing the face. Returning to London, DJ Danny Rampling decided to recreate the vibe that was felt during that celebration.

He reportedly borrowed the smiley symbol from Barnzley, a designer at the Wag Club, who he had seen wear smilies. Phat pants paired with cropped tees were a big staple during these rave days and are even rocked on some OG ravers today!

Men would have worn oversized colorful cartoon shirts to pair with their phat pants in sneakers or platform shoes. You would have seen these oversized pants in about every color, in jean material and some with reflective patterns.

These were more functional than most outfits worn today. They looked great when dancing and normally had big pockets which were perfect for your things. Around we saw a shift in the rave wear towards the go-go style which became big entertainment at festivals.

Fur presented itself and was a hit at every festival. Everyone, including myself, wanted to be a go-go dancer or look like one. Fluff was in and coverage was out. This was a significant time because this trend made everyone feel comfortable in their skin. You could feel good about vibing and dancing while showing more because raves are a place where there are no judgments.

High-end customized phats tend to include UV reflective tape decoration to add a glowing effect. Phat pants are notable for being a visual identifier of those within the rave community.

Phat pants originated in A Melbourne raver who could not wear slim pants due to thick legs, started making them to fit her frame. Rose to popularity in early s with Tina Borg, Renegade and continued to grow into candy phat pantz in within the kandi kid community of ravers.
