Festival Fashion Forecast
Trends come and go, and there’s always something new to try out when it comes to fashion. In the festival world, this is even more common.
If you’ve looked into festival fashion at all, then you know what we’re talking about! You’ll see everything from cropped leather jackets with tons of fringe to shiny platform sandals. No need to get overwhelmed; there are plenty of ways to incorporate daring pieces into anyone’s personal style. Let’s get into it.
Festival Styles Trending Now
Want to be sure you’re up to date with all the festival trends? We’re here to help. You’ll be seeing these pieces and outfits at this year’s events, and you just might want to try them yourself.
Currently, we’re seeing a lot of outfits that are sprinkled with western vibes. Think leather, fringe, cowboy boots, and cow print. Add some color for an even more fun take. Choosing a colorful version of any of these looks will help you stand out and give you more individuality.
We’re also seeing worn-out band tees, cut-off denim, colorful tassel skirts, and buckled biker boots. Try mixing and matching any of these options for a unique look.
Add Some Fun Elements
What do we mean? Well, clothes are one thing, but we think any outfit can be elevated with some super fun nail looks and hairstyles.
As far as nails go, this year, we’re loving a bright twist on the classic French manicure. Think outside the box and choose neon yellow or hot pink for the tips. It’s also popular right now to use color blocking and holographic nail stickers.
When you start thinking about hairstyles, keep in mind where you’re going and when. Choose a fun twist on an updo, like milkmaid braids or bubble braids.
Our Favorite Festival Looks
It’s one thing to chit-chat about all of these ideas, but another to start putting outfits together. No worries, we’ve made it simpler by pairing pieces together that create the boldest, most fashionable looks. Find out what they are below.
- Start off with your most beloved band tee — bonus points if it’s black. Tuck it into our black vinyl mini skirt overtop some cute boy shorts or distressed tights.
- For a casual look, throw on a pair of cut-off shorts, a white cropped tank, and a black leather harness for some edge.
- You can easily create a kawaii look by pairing a pastel lingerie set underneath a sheer slip dress. This is also a great way to keep things lightweight.
- If you like a combination of cute and edgy, we’ve got you covered. Start with a distressed mini dress and add some chunky biker boots. Bring in the cuteness with a fun hairstyle, a cute manicure, and glitter around your eyes. You can also add in some super cute temporary tattoos.
Accessorize Your Look
We’ve mentioned a few accessories above, but there are endless ways to accessorize to amp up your festival looks. We wanted to let some of our favorites have a moment.
We’re seeing a lot of hype about berets, and there are some chic ones with nets. These can be added to an edgy or feminine look.
Chains are still all the rage, whether they’re in necklace form or worn as body chains. We mentioned chunky boots, but we’re going to mention them again because they’re huge right now. Pair any of these accessories with your look, and you’ll be right on-trend.
Choose the Festival Location and Start Packing
Depending on your music taste and where you are on the map, there are many festivals to choose from, the most talked-about obviously being Coachella in California. There’s also the Beale Street Music Festival in Tennessee, Shaky Knees Festival in Georgia, and Sol Blume Festival in California. All of these take place in the spring, but depending on location, you’ll need to pack accordingly.
No matter the climate, there are some essentials that we think should be in everyone’s bag or a cute fanny pack. Make sure you have face wipes, sunscreen, a travel hairbrush, hair ties if needed, and any medicines you may need (think vitamin C or pain relief).
There are also some items that could come in handy if you’re staying at a festival for more than a day. It would be smart to pack a backup pair of shoes, something comfy to sleep in, extra undies, a cute raincoat just in case, and sunglasses. It’s also a great idea to pack a bandana or two that can act as headbands, scarves, or face masks to shield you from any dust or smoke.
