A short report from the actual SELECTA dancefloor on what people are wearing right now. No takes, just observations.

What is in

• Cargo pants, mostly black. Pockets win.
• Mesh tops and tank tops layered under unzipped jackets.
• Skate shoes, broken-in. The new sneaker thing is over for raves.
• Visible earplugs as a fashion statement, not a hidden compromise.
• Practical bumbags and small crossbody bags.

What is out

• Heels of any kind on the dancefloor.
• White anything that touches the floor.
• Statement coats that you then have to cloakroom.
• Tight jeans that hold sweat all night.

The throughline

Function is winning. The peak-fashion club aesthetic of 2018 is mostly gone, replaced by clothes that survive six hours of dancing. The interesting design moves now are in fabric and fit, not in silhouette.
