Cold Waves runs soon on Sep 24–27, 2026.
It is an outdoor show, so build your fit around the forecast: breathable pieces for the day and a layer for when the temperature drops after dark.
The sound leans industrial and EBM, and the crowd dresses the whole range, from full matching sets to stripped-down basics. Wear what feels like you.
Everything we recommend is from our own line, designed and printed in our San Diego studio. The ship-by dates below are the latest you can order and still have it arrive before day one.
