Festivals provide the ideal environment for taking fashion risks you've been meaning to experiment with, such as pairing oversized shirts or dresses with an unconventional belt bag around your waist. Remember that festivals can get messy, so choose clothing items that can easily be washed should the need arise. The best option is to wear a crop-top or tee shirt with a tie 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. You can also create an effortless modern look by pairing your miniskirt with classic black heels and a chunky Dad jacket. A round-neck tee will also look great; use nude pointed pumps to give it a feminine feel. 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! Strategist editor Ailbhe Malone notes that you don't need to break the bank to create your festival ensemble. She mentions that this white silky Sark shirt is a staple cool-girl piece at a fraction Whistles' price. She also notes that it would go well over an open vest, giving a West Side Story feel. 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 to any festival, whether it's sandals with a T shirt for a classic vibe or layering chunky jewelry. 3. White and Gold Heart Boots Fashionistas looking forward to an incredible summer music festival experience have no better opportunity to express themselves than at this season. Music festivals are a great place to show off your unique style. When selecting concert wear, comfort is paramount. Long hours spent walking, standing and dancing can take their toll on feet; thus wearing shoes that offer proper support should be an absolute priority. The white and gold heart cowgirl boot is a perfect addition to any summer festival. For a cute casual outfit, pair them with black tank tops and denim shorts. This leather western belt is an attractive accessory on its own. Wear it over your T-shirt or jeans for the best festival outfit. 4. Sunglasses Jiaras loves to inject some humor into her festival attire by wearing eyewear that is unique. "Funky shades can help you mask the fact that your only slept for 24 hours and have been screaming, 'one more song' since 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're designed to hold essentials without weighing you down while leaving both hands free for stage hopping or dodging large crowds of people at water coolers. Other sunnies worth taking along to music festivals this year should reflect 2022 runway trends, like Y2K-inspired twists on classic aviators and wayfarers as well as cat-eye styles and logo-covered frames. 5. Belt Bag You want to be cute at music festivals but you also need to be practical. After all, the last thing you want is for your outfits or behavior at these events to become the subject of viral YouTube clips featuring festival fail army videos (ie those hilarious viral YouTube clips that have become an internet phenomenon). The perfect place to keep your essentials such a phone, wallet or keys is a belt pouch. The belt bag is the perfect size to fit under your hoodie, or even over your miniskirt. The lightweight poncho is a great choice for protection against both heat and rain. Avoid those made of materials such as suede, leather, or fur, because they won't hold up to heat, humidity, and spilled beverages. You can also choose a jacket with a half zip closure to allow it to easily fit over the body. 6. Pink Bandana Festivals are a great place to try out new styles in a fun, safe environment. 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 can be a versatile accessory that will add whimsy to any outfit. Pink, a color without associations to crime or gangs but with feminine appeal, can add country charm and femininity to any outfit. It can be used as a neck scarve, to tie back your hair, to create flower crowns, or even to decorate your backpack. This accessory is essential for every festival wardrobe.
