Now that summer has (unofficially) begun, it's time for festival season! Being a music lover, one of my favorite things about the months of June thru August include the variety of music festivals all around the country, covering pretty much every genre you can think of. Whether they last a weekend, a day, a week, or only a few hours they do take a bit of planning ahead, especially when it comes to your wardrobe. We've all heard stories, some of us may even have experienced it first hand, of the debauchery of the original Woodstock circa 1969....half naked people, covered in mud, and most likely too inebriated to comprehend what was going on around them. Although this still may be the case among certain festival goers, it is my assumption that most of us want to lounge out, listen to some tunes, meet some cool people and look cute and feel comfortable all the while. And let's not forget...we must be practical too.
Check out my must haves for fashionable festival attendees!
Cut off denim shorts are the ultimate! Available in a variety of lengths, sure to please almost everyone. Why buy instead of DIY? Because these are frayed below the hem, which means the fray stops there. Cut your own, and it after a few washes, you may have next to nothing left.
Since we have the bottoms covered...let's talk about the top half. Of course we have tons of choices, depending on what look you are going for. Starting with top left: Woven tunic from XCVI...don't let the 3/4 Sleeve fool you, it's made up super lightweight cotton that breathes, and it will protect you from the sun. Tye Dye tank from Sugar Lips, it's tye dye, need I say more. Skyscrapers zip up from WeSC...you never know, you might have a chilly night. Halter from Rachel Pally, for a more glamorous look. Tee from Scott Free, the eagle gives it a boho vibe, and the neon makes it modern. Last, tropical print halter from WeSC, not into the boho thing, go a bit tribal instead. You're options of course are endless, but you get the idea.
Don't feel like thinking about full outfits? I don't blame you. Go for a Romper like this one from Cailey 22, a printed maxi dress, (the ultimate boho chic) like this one from DEPT, or an easy cotton day dress, tye dye always being a good option (from Loveappella).
Last but certainly not least comes accessories! Opt for beads, feathers, or tribal inspired jewelry, depending on your taste of course. Throw on a trusty pair of flip flops (like these from Michael Stars) and you are good to go! Don't forget to grab a cross body bag to tote around all your essentials, bottle of water, sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses etc.
Have fun festing music lovers!
XOXO
