Fifth Degree’s Top Rasta Clothing Picks for Women Who Know the Vibe

Some people wear Rasta colors because they like how it looks. But if you’re the kind of woman who feels the vibe — who moves through life with purpose, spiritual awareness, and connection to roots — then you already know that Rasta fashion isn’t just about matching red, gold, and green. It’s about frequency. It’s about statement. It’s about sovereignty.

At Fifth Degree, we don’t mess with watered-down “Rasta-inspired” fashion that just borrows the colors and ignores the culture. Every piece we highlight in this roundup is chosen with reverence, power, and style in mind — because today’s empresses deserve more than just mass-market tie-dye and plastic beads.

So whether you’re headed to a conscious reggae festival, leading ceremony, walking through your city with pride, or just vibing out at home in full alignment, these are our top Rasta clothing picks for women who know the vibe.


🌿 1. The Grounding Goddess: Long Rasta Maxi Dresses

There’s something sacred about a floor-length dress that moves with the wind and flows with your energy. Rasta maxi dresses aren’t just comfortable — they’re regality in motion.

What to Look For:

  • Earth-toned or black base with bold red, gold, and green accents
  • Ethiopian flag colors used as trim, halter straps, or waistline bands
  • Cotton or jersey fabric that hugs, but doesn’t restrict
  • Optional waist ties to accentuate curves naturally

Our Pick:

“Zion Flow Maxi” — A black halter-style cotton maxi with a Rasta stripe underbust and deep open back. Handmade by a small collective in Jamaica, this dress is sensual without being flashy.

💫 Best for: Ritual wear, conscious dance events, or nights when you want to feel wrapped in divine feminine power.


👑 2. The Royal Wrap: Bold Headwraps and Tams

A true queen protects her crown. Whether your hair is natural, loc’d, braided, or short, wrapping it up with intention is part of Rasta life.

Why It Matters:

  • Head coverings are a spiritual tool in many Rasta traditions
  • They help retain energy and focus
  • They symbolize respect for the self and the Creator

Styles to Know:

  • African wax print headwraps with Rasta patterning
  • Crocheted Rasta tams that can hold full locs or twists
  • Stretch jersey wraps in solid red, green, or yellow for easy daily wear

Our Pick:

“Empress Crown Wrap” — An oversized headwrap in vibrant Kente-style Rasta print with enough fabric for full high turbans or layered wraps.

🌀 Best for: Temple ceremonies, meditation, or just showing the world that your third eye stays open.


🔥 3. The Statement Top: Rasta Crop Tees That Actually Say Something

A shirt with Rasta colors isn’t enough. The words matter too. Graphic tees and crop tops are your walking billboard — so make the message clear.

Our Criteria:

  • Conscious phrases like “Jah Lives,” “Africa Is the Future,” or “Babylon Must Fall”
  • Images of Haile Selassie, Marcus Garvey, or the Lion of Judah
  • Feminine cuts that flatter while still packing punch

Our Pick:

“Down With Babylon” Crop Tee — Fitted black cotton crop with gold-foil lettering and a red-green back print that reads “Power to the Roots.”

🔥 Best for: Music festivals, political actions, or making sure no one mistakes you for a passive observer.


🌈 4. The Spiritual Layer: Kimonos and Dusters with Rasta Energy

Layering is not just about fashion — it’s about energy modulation. The right long cardigan, kimono, or duster can amplify your aura.

What to Look For:

  • Flowing fabric with natural dyes
  • Fringe or hem embroidery with traditional African or Rasta symbols
  • Breathable materials like rayon or linen

Our Pick:

“Selassie’s Robe Duster” — A knee-length open duster in deep green with red-gold tribal trim, featuring a small embroidered Lion of Judah on the back shoulder.

🕊️ Best for: Ceremony cover-ups, airport goddess travel fits, or that extra layer of protection when you walk into the world.


🌿 5. The Rooted Bottom: Skirts That Ground You and Let You Move

While leggings and joggers are great for chill days, there’s unmatched power in a skirt that moves with you. Especially one that sways with the vibe.

Options We Love:

  • Wrap skirts in Ankara or Rasta prints
  • Tiered maxi skirts with ruffled hems and waist-smocked comfort
  • Fitted midi skirts with high waists and subtle stripes of red-gold-green

Our Pick:

“Africa Rising Wrap Skirt” — A vivid green wrap with red and gold tribal detailing. Adjustable tie lets you wear it high-waisted or slung low depending on the energy of the day.

🌻 Best for: Barefoot meditations, conscious beachwear, or pairing with a simple crop top for everyday regality.


🧶 6. The Texture Piece: Crochet and Knitwear with Rasta Roots

Crochet isn’t just for hippies or festivals — in Rasta culture, handwoven pieces are a sacred art passed down in community. Plus, they add unique texture and personality to your look.

What’s Worth Wearing:

  • Crochet crop tops with Rasta stripes
  • Handmade vests with lion or Ethiopian flag patchwork
  • Open weave shawls in warm tones

Our Pick:

“Jah Threads Crochet Vest” — Multi-tone, open-knit vest handmade in Kingston with hand-stitched Lion of Judah on the chest.

🌬️ Best for: Summer layering, music gatherings, or adding flavor to a simple outfit.


🧥 7. The Outer Armor: Conscious Jackets and Hoodies

Babylon might bring the chill, but your jacket can bring the fire. Rasta outerwear combines utility with message.

Features We Look For:

  • Embroidered messages or art
  • Durable fabrics (denim, twill, hemp blends)
  • Rasta stripe accents on sleeves, hoods, or zippers

Our Pick:

“Militant Love Jacket” — Army green cropped utility jacket with gold embroidery that reads “Africa Unite” across the back. Inside lining: a subtle Lion of Judah print.

🪖 Best for: Cooler nights, protest wear, or walking boldly in both beauty and battle-readiness.


🎒 8. The Function + Style Combo: Bags That Carry More Than Stuff

A woman’s bag holds her life — keys, incense, affirmations, maybe even a drumstick or two. So why not let the outside match your spiritual interior?

Styles to Consider:

  • Canvas crossbodies with Rasta art
  • Hemp backpacks in earthy tones
  • Patchwork messenger bags with symbols like the Ankh, lion, or tree of life

Our Pick:

“Zion Vibe Sling” — A woven hemp sling bag with multiple inner pockets, front button flap, and symbolic trim featuring sacred geometry and Rasta color stripes.

💼 Best for: Everyday errands, outdoor gatherings, or staying grounded with intention on the go.


💎 9. The Finishing Touches: Jewelry That Speaks Without Words

Necklaces, earrings, and rings can be far more than decorative — they can hold frequency. We spotlight pieces made from natural materials, spiritual symbols, and African craft traditions.

Our Go-To Pieces:

  • Cowrie shell earrings representing wealth and femininity
  • Wooden bangles etched with Adinkra symbols
  • Beaded chokers in red-gold-green colorways

Our Pick:

“Empress Unity Set” — Beaded necklace and earring combo made from coconut shell, bone, and recycled glass beads from Ghana.

🔔 Best for: Full look amplification, cultural ceremony dress, or offering subtle cues of depth and pride.


🧘🏽‍♀️ 10. The Chill Set: Loungewear That Still Holds the Vibe

Not every day is a protest or a photoshoot — but even your chill wear can carry the frequency.

Look For:

  • Soft cotton jogger sets with minimalist Rasta color piping
  • Off-shoulder sweatshirts with subtle “Jah Bless” script
  • Bamboo-fiber bralettes and shorts in earthy greens or ochres

Our Pick:

“Ital Roots Lounge Set” — Olive green bamboo joggers and crop hoodie with small Lion of Judah on the chest and red trim on the cuffs.

🛋️ Best for: At-home alignment, journaling, herbal tea mornings, or holding sacred rest in high vibration.


🧭 How to Wear the Vibe — Not Just the Colors

Rasta fashion without awareness becomes costume. But when you move from love, alignment, and cultural respect, every item you wear becomes an amplifier.

Tips for Wearing It Right:

  • Know the symbols. Don’t wear the Lion of Judah or Selassie without knowing who they are.
  • Honor the source. Support Rasta and African designers, not fast fashion knockoffs.
  • Let your actions match your outfit. A “Babylon Must Fall” shirt hits harder when you’re actually doing the work of justice and healing.
  • Tune in daily. Ask yourself: Is this clothing helping me show up more aligned with truth?

✨ Final Word: Your Style Is Sacred

Being a woman who knows the Rasta vibe isn’t about gatekeeping or perfection — it’s about walking in truth, staying conscious, and using every inch of your body and spirit to reflect that. Rasta gear isn’t just decoration. It’s declaration.

So wear your colors boldly. Wrap your crown with pride. Let your jewelry speak your soul. And always remember: the vibe isn’t just in the clothes — it’s in you.
