Chicago, the birthplace of house music, is closing out summer 2024 this Labor Day Weekend with ARC Music Festival. The city’s underground club scene has evolved into this mainstream festival, where house & techno music enthusiasts gather to enjoy the community, inclusivity, and the transformative power of music.
Beyond the incredible lineup, art, and dancing/shuffling, ARC offers a unique opportunity to express your style and creativity. We believe that if you look good, you feel good and if you feel good, you play good. We want to help you turn Union Park into your runway. Here’s our wardrobe favorites and outfit inspirations for this year’s ARC Music Festival.
Bold Basics
Who says you can be the main act at ARC? Channel your main character energy dressing modern essentials with a festival twist. Consider black pants with a thick belt, black buckle top, silver or gold hoop earrings and bangles.

Minimalist Techno
A sophisticated, minimalistic outfit with tech-inspired elements is a signature look for ARC. Slip into a mesh dress or playsuit with gloves, stompers, leather & chain chokers for the ultimate cool girl vibe. These girls are slaying the Sinner Flame Mesh Dress from GoGuyClothing.

Metro Groove
Union Park is in the heart of Chicago, so it’s the perfect place to show off your urban chic and festival flare. We love this low waisted denim skater skirt, worn with the collegiate fishnet jersey, chunky white tennis shoes, and small purse. It’s a youthful, fashionable look that’s trendy & playful.

Urban Futurism
House & techno music festivals call for modern, streamlined looks with a touch of futuristic flair. Sleek metallics and alternating fabrics, like these cool, breathable pants, will elevate your festival look.

City Pulse
Give ARC your hottest & sexiest version of you! Cut out dresses can be lightweight and stretchy, while also looking luxe and sleek. Be bold, be spicy as you head out for the city beat.

Grit and Glam
A rhinestone dress over a black or white bralette & bottoms (swim suit, cheeky rave bottoms, or boy shorts) is an edgy style with a touch of elegance. So show up and show out! Grunge it down with a pair of sock-designed boots with an extra clunky cleat sole.

Effortless Comfort
Comfort meets style with this comfortable, yet chic outfit designed for all-night dancing. Pick one of many unique and humorous T-shirt with a house music reference (lots of good ones on Etsy). Slip on athletic biker shorts or cargo joggers with some chunky tennis shoes – since ARC will promise lots of dancing!
