If you are planning to head to Coachella soon, or are booking tickets to Burning Man, or just simply want to imbue your day to day with a bit of the festival’s easy going, comfortable style – read on! Whether you’re a flower child and you’re all about sweet pastels, or a rocker kid and all about black and smartly layered looks, festival season is a good reason to shop. With sunshine, music and fun on the brain, we picked dresses, shorts and accessories that are guaranteed to make you feel good and look amazing.
Tie dye is so ’70s and makes for the perfect festival dress. You could wear a dress like this, not only for a festival but also for a day out with friends or the beach. Dress it up with some statement accessories and uber cool sunnies.
I love anything that has fringe detailing, be it bags, boots or clothes. If you’re all booked for a festival, make sure you have some fringe in your wardrobe.
Printed pants are easily my favourite kind of pant. You might want to give your denims a miss, as pants like these are perfect for the summer. Also, printed pants aren’t just for women, men look good in them too. So keep a look out for fun prints to wear this summer.
Mixing prints is really fun and honestly it’s not that hard either. Music festivals are all about expressing yourself, whether it’s musically or fashion wise. Try new things, experiment. It’s all about being free.
Kimono’s are beautiful and come in various colours, prints and lengths. They go beautifully with girly dresses as well as denims and shorts. It adds a bit of a bohemian element to your look, which is always a plus. These delicate bohemian cover-ups are perfect for festival season. They’re light and fit perfectly in your handbag too.
Ditch your denim shorts for light, cotton printed shorts like this. They are light and easy to pack into your suitcase. Pair it with a rad rocker tee and biker boots and you’re all set to dance the night away.
Lastly, statement jewellery! Throw on some fun neckpieces, bracelets and earrings, don’t worry if they aren’t a set. Mix and match your jewellery for more effect. It’s an easy way to incorporate colour into your outfit too.
The festival fashion trend has resonated since the original rock gods put their stamp on festival style at Woodstock during the summer of ’69 – Janis Joplin’s circular rose-tinted glasses, Jim Morrison’s lace up leather pants and Jimi Hendrix’s headscarves. So you see, there are no limitations to expressing your sense of individual style this festival season.
