Festivals are the perfect place to take fashion risks. Pair oversized shirts and dresses with a belt bag that's not your usual style. Clothing items should be easily washable. Festivals can get messy. You can never go wrong with crop tops and tie-front tees! 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. If you want to create a modern look with a mini skirt, try pairing it with black classic pumps and a chunky 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 Heart Cowgirl Boots Fashionistas looking forward to an incredible summer music festival experience have no better opportunity to express themselves than at this season. You can express your personality at music festivals in a variety of ways, from boho chic to 1990s style. When it comes to choosing concert attire, comfort always comes first. The feet can suffer from long hours of dancing, standing and walking. Therefore, wearing shoes that support the feet is absolutely essential. White and gold heart cowgirl boots like these make an excellent statement at any summer festival, whether it's the music festival, arts fest or sports fest. You can pair them up with a casual ensemble like denim and black shorts or a tank top for a casual, cute look. This classic leather belt is a great accessory. Wear it with jeans or over a t-shirt to create the perfect festival outfit! 4. Sunglasses Jiaras likes to add a little humor to her festival outfits with eyewear that stands apart. "Funky glasses can help hide the fact that you've only slept 24 hrs in 24 days, and have been screamin' 'one tune' from dawn!" She explains. She recommends including a belt bag (also referred to as a bum bag or waist bag) in your festival gear, saying these accessories can be particularly handy during hot or rainy events. They are designed to keep essentials in place without weighing down the user, while still allowing them to use both hands for stage hopping and avoiding large crowds around water coolers. Other sunglasses that you should consider taking to music festivals for this year include Y2K inspired twists on classic aviators & wayfarers along with cat-eye styles & logo-covered frames. 5. Belt Bag Being practical and stylish are both important at music festival. Your outfits and behavior are likely to be the focus of YouTube clips featuring the festival fail army. 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. The lightweight poncho is a great choice for protection against both heat and rain. You should avoid those made from suede or leather. These materials will not hold up against humidity, heat and spilled liquids. If you want to fit it over your body, choose one with a zip-up half closure. 6. Pink Bandana Festivals are the perfect place to test out your style and have fun. Wearing fishnets and oversized denim shirt dresses or kimono style cardsigans with mega ripped jeans is just one example of how you can push the boundaries with festival fashion. Pink bandanas make for versatile accessories and can add some fun to your outfit. As a gender neutral color without any associations to gangs or crime, pink adds feminine appeal while simultaneously injecting country charm into any look. This accessory is a must-have for any festival wardrobe. You can use it as a scarf, to tie your hair back, or even decorate your backpack.
