Festive, Fun & Fabulous
Music festivals are the perfect playground for fashion enthusiasts. It’s a place where hundreds, maybe even thousands come together to share their love of music, food and fun. For us, it's not just a music show, but a potential fashion show. Already, these festivals such as Coachella or Outside Lands or Stagecoach offer a unique blend of artists, but also a unique blend of style and freedom of expression. What better way to express yourself than with style? When it comes to crafting the ultimate festival look, several essential pieces come into play and we’ve got a so-called “starter kit” in case you’re not sure where to begin.
A good place to start is with a good pair of distressed relaxed denim, the epitome of effortless cool, providing both comfort and versatility for a long day of dancing and exploring. Chances are you already own a pair or could easily get your hands on one. Distressed denim has that lived in feel and is perfect for days out on the green or getting caught in a desert flash storm because you don’t mind if they get a little dirty. They also pair nicely with our next festival suggestion: leather and/or suede. The days may be hot and sweaty with the sun and inevitable dancing but the nights get cold, and they get cool quickly. So, pair your vintage leather or suede jacket over your denim for some retro flair but also as a practical layering piece.
For a nod to music history, incorporate vintage band tees into your ensemble, showcasing your musical taste while adding a nostalgic vibe to your look. Let everyone know just who you came to see but do it in style. Vintage tees are fun to wear as you bought them but also can be a fun DIY project to do with friends by cropping them, making them into tank tops or layering them over a lace long sleeve shirt for a chic remix. Complete the outfit with comfortable yet stylish boots, such as ankle boots or chunky platforms, offering both durability for outdoor terrain and a chic finishing touch. And for the cherry on top? Bohemian accessories of course. Silver and gold statement jewelry adds a touch of whimsy and individuality to your festival attire. Layer on those necklaces, bracelets, and rings for a free-spirited boho look that captures the essence of the festival atmosphere. With these essential pieces in your wardrobe arsenal, you'll be ready to rock out in style at your next music festival adventure. Which musical festivals are you attending this summer?
