Those who know me, know that I’m a music festival junkie, and for more reasons than you might think! Music fests aren’t just about the music anymore. Besides attracting mainstream artists, emerging indie bands and underground DJs, festivals and concerts have become a gathering place for all things art and fashion. Let’s be real—I’m pretty sure all those Coachella fashionistas decked out in foil tats and headpieces put at least a little bit of thought into their street style. (MissMalini fashion blogger Sana shows you how the girls would do it!) And why not! Music festivals are fashion’s safety zone, where self expression is encouraged and anything goes!
With just one week until SulaFest’s 10th Anniversary, I decided to put together six menswear looks – In case you need some festival inspo yourself. Hope to see you there!
1. Pair Psychedelic Prints With Basics
Easily my top pick—I love the printed t-shirt and solid blue jacket combo. Pair with skinny chinos and white kicks and you’re ready to jam out.
Jacket – Mayur Girotra
T-Shirt – Splash
Trousers – Topman
Shoes – Pull & Bear
Bracelet – Being Human
Necklace – Being Human
Sunglasses – Calvin Klein
2. Layer With Denim
The slightly oversized look is not necessarily a part of my everyday style, but heck, I try anything once. And when things heat up, tie around your waist for another casual look.
Shirt – Brooks Brothers
T-shirt – Splash
Trousers – Splash
Bracelet – BeBajrang
Necklace – Be Bajrang
Shoes – Pull & Bear
3. Balance Classics With Edgy Accessories
If your style is more preppy than grunge, find a polo (bonus points if it has a fun print like these tennis rackets here) and pair with shorts and sneaks. I layered the two bracelets seen here to add some interest.
T-shirt – Brooks Brothers
Shorts – Brooks Brothers
Bracelets – Being Human
Shoes – Polo By Ralph Lauren
Sunglasses – RayBan
4. When In Doubt, Grab A Leather Jacket
You can’t go wrong with this quintessential bad boy look, cos, y’know, girls love bad boys!
Leather Jacket – Splash
T-Shirt – H&M
Jeans – H&M
Shoes – Zara
Bracelet – Being Human
Necklace – Being Human
5. Prints on Prints on Prints
Some people are scared to mix prints, but it totally works when done right. Choose a flannel for your base print and tie around your waist for the ultimate grunge guy look. Choose a jacket in another print that picks up one of the colors in the flannel (like red here).
Jacket – Ekam
Jacket around waist – Mayur Girotra
Gunjee – Splash
Jeans – Diesel
Shoes – Topman
Necklace – Being Human
Bracelets – Being Human
6. Another Jacket That Always Works: The Bomber
Two words: After Partayyy! When the sun sets and it’s time to hit the late night scene, opt for a bomber jacket over a printed button up and ripped denims.
Jacket – Bo Square
shirt – Splash
Jeans – Zara
Shoes – Zara
Necklace – BeBajrang
Sunglasses – Topman
