Collection: Punk Rave - Alternative Clothing UK Collection

If you're looking for Punk Rave clothing in the UK, you've found the right place. Kate's Clothing has been selling gothic and alternative fashion since 2004, and Punk Rave has been one of our core brands for years. Every piece we sell is genuine Punk Rave, bought direct from the brand and held in stock here in the UK - so there are no customs charges or courier handling fees to pay when your parcel arrives, and no weeks-long wait for shipping from overseas.

Punk Rave (you'll also see it written as Punkrave or PUNK RAVE) designs its collections in-house, and it's the detail that sets it apart: boned waistbands, beaded and embroidered bodices, burnout and embossed velvets, lace, chains and solid metal hardware. It's a brand that takes gothic drama seriously, but the best pieces are surprisingly easy to wear too.

Punk Rave Dresses, Tops, Corsets and More

Our Punk Rave range covers the whole wardrobe. There are showstopping Punk Rave dresses like the Isolde rose-embroidered gothic wedding dress and the Morella church skull dress, and tops and blouses from the elegant Seraphine and embroidered Selene through to mesh camisoles and crop tops. The corsets (including the Hestia bat gradient and the beaded Elspeth) are a real highlight. Add a skirt like the black-to-red Lilith fishtail, a pair of Vespera bat velvet flares, or a statement layer such as the Carmilla embossed bat velvet jacket or the Morrigan cloak, and you've got a complete gothic look from one brand.

If Punk Rave's romantic side is your thing, you'll love Dark in Love too – and our Alchemy Gothic jewellery is the perfect finishing touch.

Goth Rave Outfits and Club Wear

Punk Rave's darker, industrial side is made for the dance floor, and it's one of the easiest brands to build a goth rave outfit around. Start with a base like the Nyx skull suspender crop top, a mesh and faux leather spliced camisole, the Vespera chain shorts or a pair of distressed mesh leggings. Then let the accessories do the work: studded chokers and arm cuffs, cat paw spike gloves and metal body chains. Layer over fishnets, add a harness from our belts and harnesses range and finish with your chunkiest boots. For more alt rave inspiration, have a look at Poizen Industries and Heartless.

Frequently Asked Questions About Punk Rave

What is Punk Rave?

Punk Rave is an alternative fashion brand founded in Guangzhou, China, in 2006. It has its own in-house design team and has grown into one of the best-known gothic clothing labels in the world, sold through stockists across Europe, the US, Australia and Asia. Its collections span romantic goth, punk, industrial and cyber styles, with a real focus on dramatic detailing.

Is Punk Rave fast fashion?

No. Fast fashion is about copying trends quickly and cheaply, making clothes that are worn a few times and thrown away. Punk Rave is a specialist gothic label with its own design team and its own distinctive look, and its pieces are made to be kept - think structured boning, embroidery and beading, heavy velvets and jacquards, and solid metal hardware. We don't sell fast fashion at Kate's Clothing: every brand we stock is handpicked by Kate.

Is Punk Rave good quality? Is it legit?

Yes. Punk Rave is a genuine, long-established brand, and its construction and detailing are a step above most gothic clothing at a similar price. Because it's so popular, Punk Rave designs are widely copied, so the safest way to be sure you're getting the real thing is to buy from an established stockist. We've been trading since 2004, we have over 6,000 customer reviews, and you can read what customers think of individual Punk Rave pieces on each product page.

How does Punk Rave sizing work?

Like Dark in Love, Punk Rave often uses combined sizing, where a single size covers a range such as UK 8–10 or UK 12–14. We map every style to UK sizes as closely as we can, but the most reliable guide is the brand's own size chart for that exact garment, which you'll find in the product images. Measure yourself (or a similar garment you already own) and compare it with the chart before you order. Our size guide is a good place to start if you're unsure how to measure.

Does Punk Rave come up small?

Most Punk Rave styles come up a little smaller than people are used to, so it's worth checking the measurements carefully rather than just ordering your usual size. It does vary from style to style, though, and some pieces fit true to size - we try to note in each product description whether a style runs small or not. If you're still unsure, drop us a message before you order and we'll happily help.

What sizes do you stock in Punk Rave?

We stock most Punk Rave styles from UK 8 up to UK 22 (4XL), because we think gothic fashion should fit everyone, plus a selection of one-size accessories. Use the size filter on this page to see what's available in your size, or browse our plus size gothic clothing and shop by ladies size pages.
