How to Style a Music Festival Outfit
Today I am so excited to share curated outfit ideas that are stylish, functional, and perfect for capturing the carefree energy of festival season.
Whether it’s a fringe skirt set or a floral embellished look there are so many fun and stylish ways to dress for festival season. So let’s get started with some chic outfit ideas!
1.
Boho-Chic in Crochet
Crochet is so back in a big way. For example, try a matching crochet crop top and skirt set paired with strappy sandals and layered necklaces. Then, add a straw hat and oversized sunglasses for sun protection and style. Or, you could also opt for a chic crochet dress paired with cool accessories. Like a raffia tote bag, a statement belt, and more.
Style Tip: Opt for neutrals like ivory, tan, or rust to give your outfit an overall effortlessly elevated feel.
2.
Utility Cool with Cargo Pants
Cargo pants are the perfect option that is not only comfortable but chic for festivals. For example, pair high-waisted cargo pants with a bralette or fitted crop top. Then, complete the look with sneakers or sandals and your go to bag for a comfortable and chic look.
Why It Works: Cargo pants are practical, breathable, and on-trend, especially in desert or outdoor settings.
3.
Sheer Layers Over Swimwear
For hot festival days, a sheer dress is my go to. For example, style a sheer dress or mesh tunic over a stylish bikini or bralette and high-waisted shorts. Then, add boots, sandals, accessories and a wide-brim hat.
Style Tip: Go for a metallic, crochet, or holographic sheer to stand out under the stage lights.
4.
Denim and Fringe Combo
Layer a fringe jacket over denim jeans or shorts and a simple tee. Then, accessorize with a cowboy hat and western booties.
Pinterest Favorite: This outfit channels modern cowgirl energy and is so perfect for outdoor or country-inspired festivals.
5.
Monochrome Minimalist
Keep things sleek and stylish with a monochrome matching set. Like a black crop tank and flowy pants or a two-piece linen set. Then, add a statement bag and chic accessories.
Why It’s Chic: This look is great for standing out in a sea of prints while staying breathable and stylish.
6.
Retro Vibes with Vintage Tees
Rock a vintage graphic tee with distressed denim shorts and sneakers or sandals. Then, layer on a belt, a jacket if needed, and your go-to festival bag.
Style Tip: Tuck in your tee for a polished touch, or tie it at the waist for extra shape.
7.
Glam Grunge with Leather Accents
Mix edgy and glam by pairing a faux leather mini skirt or jacket with a cropped tank. For an extra edgy look, add fishnet tights, and combat boots. Overall, adding layer to your look is a great way to elevate it for music festivals. Whether it’s through leather boots, a chic leather jacket, or bag. Such a chic option for that edgy look.
Pro Tip: Bring a lightweight flannel or hoodie to tie around your waist and layer when the sun sets.
