Festivals offer the perfect opportunity to try out new fashion combinations. For example, you can pair oversized shirts with dresses or a belt bag.

Clothing items should be easily washable. Festivals can get messy. Always go for a crop top or a tee with ties in the front!

1. Mini Skirt

Mini skirts make an excellent festival outfit option, provided they are worn with comfortable tops and sturdy shoes — avoid strappy sandals which might slip off in the heat, wear rain boots to protect from mud, rain and spilled drinks, as well as bring bandanas for protection if attending beach or desert festivals.

Alternatively, for an effortlessly modern look with your mini skirt, pair it with classic black pumps and a chunky dad jacket. To add a feminine touch, use pointed nude heels and a round neck tee.

2. White Silky Top

It may seem silly to worry about what to wear when you’re slogging through mud or waiting in line to get warm beer, but getting the perfect festival outfit can enhance your experience. And it doesn’t have to be expensive! Ailbhe Malone is the Strategist’s editor and she says that you do not need to break your bank to create a festival ensemble.

She says she’s eyeing this white silky top from Sark as a cool-girl staple at a fraction of its Whistles price point, noting it would pair nicely over an open vest for a West Side Story moment.

Jiaras says cargo pants are a must-have for festival goers in 2018. She notes that they flatter your figure and hug you. Wear these versatile pieces with anything from sandals and T-shirt for the classic festival vibe, or add an edge by layering up chunky jewelry and wearing bandanas for a rock ’n’ roll vibe.

3. White and Gold Hearts Boots

There is no better way to express yourself than this season for those who are anticipating an amazing summer music festival. At music festivals, you can showcase your style in many ways.

Comfort should always come first when choosing concert attire. Shoes that provide proper support for your feet are essential, as long hours of dancing, dancing and standing can be very taxing on the body.

These white and gold cowgirl boots make a great statement at any summer event, be it a music festival, an arts festival or a sports festival. You can pair them up with a casual ensemble like denim and black shorts or a tank top for a casual, cute look. A classic leather western belt like this makes an eye-catching accessory in its own right; tie it around your jeans’ waist or wear it over a T-shirt for the best festival outfit possible!

4. Sunglasses

Jiaras adds a touch of humor to her festival looks by sporting eyewear with a unique style. “Funky eyewear can help conceal the fact that I have only slept a total of 24 hours over 24 days and screamed ‘one last tune’ ever since dawn!” She explains.

She says that a belt bag, also known as a bumbag, waist bag, or a hip bag can come in handy for hot and rainy festivals. The bags are designed for essentials to be carried without adding weight, leaving you with both hands free to navigate crowds or hop from stage-to-stage.

The 2022 runway trend for sunnies is a mix of classic aviators, wayfarers, cat-eyes and frames covered with logos.

5. Belt Bag

You’ll want to look great at music fests, but practicality is just as important. You don’t want your attire or behavior to be the subject of viral YouTube videos featuring festival fail army (i.e. those hilarious, viral YouTube videos that have become a internet phenomenon).

Belt bags are the perfect way to store your essentials, such as your wallet, phone and keys. Not too large or bulky, it fits neatly under a hoodie or over your mini skirt for easy portability.

Another great option is a lightweight poncho, which will protect you from rain as well as heat. Avoid those made of materials such as suede, leather, or fur, because they won’t hold up to heat, humidity, and spilled beverages. Opt for a hoodie with a zipper closure that can be easily worn over your shoulders.

6. Pink Bandana

Festivals are the perfect place to test out your style and have fun. You can experiment with your style at festivals by wearing fishnets or an oversized denim dress with a kimono cardigan, or pairing a kimono with ripped jeans.

Pink bandanas can be a versatile accessory that will add whimsy to any outfit. Pink is a gender-neutral color, which has no association with crime or gangs. However, it adds femininity and country charm to any look. Use it for a scarf around your neck, to tie hair back or create flower crowns. You could even use it to decorate a backpack.
