Can you hear that music in the distance? It’s festival season, and it’s coming your way, fast! Summer’s just around the corner, and that means that music festivals are back in a big way. From Bonnaroo to Coachella, Spring Awakening to Lollapalooza, there’s no end to the festival circuit—and no end to your festival outfit options.
Crochet Clothes
The retro-chic crochet trend is perfect for festival wear. Crochet and other airy swim cover-ups will be super hot this summer (in no small part because they help you beat the heat), and crocheted tops will complete a fun, breezy look that’s got plenty of panache. A crocheted tank and a pair of jean shorts are a playful and sporty option that’s perfect for dancing, waiting at the merch table, or snacking at your favorite food truck.

Lace Outfits
Lightweight lace layers effortlessly over your favorite swimsuit, crop top, or other fun festival gear. Pair a lace top with beads for a perfect beachy look that gives the vibe of a vintage, endless summer.

Fringe Accents
Fun fringe details are the perfect way to amp up your festival fit. Another vintage touch that’s making a comeback, fringed accents give Woodstock and the Summer of Love. Fringed hemlines aren’t too fancy for flats, sneakers, and comfy sandals, so they’re perfect for outdoor music festivals.

Sheer Details
Pairing sheer or open outerwear with your cutest swimsuit underneath is a great way to stay cool in the summer heat. This type of outfit will help keep the sun off your shoulders and keep you cool and comfortable. Throw it on over your favorite swimsuit and go straight from the party to the pool.

Two-Piece Sets
Don’t want to take the time to coordinate an outfit, or want a chic, effortlessly-styled look that’s sure to impress? A two-piece set is your perfect pairing. If your set has a bright, bold pattern, choose either delicate jewelry as an elegant, subtle accessory or bold, chunky jewelry that can compete with the print.

Western-Inspired Hats
Say “Howdy!” to a Western hat this festival season. Cowboy hats, woven boaters, and other Western-inspired styles are going to be popular festival headgear this summer. A hat with a brim isn’t just cute—it’s a smart choice, too, since it will help protect your face and eyes from the sun.

Western-Inspired Boots
When you’re at a music festival, the shoes you wear have a lot of jobs. They have to be comfortable because you’ll be standing a lot. They have to protect your toes from trampling, and they also have to be cute. Fortunately, one of the big footwear trends this summer is going to be western-inspired boots. And these boots aren’t your granddad’s work boots—with fun embellishments like metallic fabric, pearls, rhinestones, cutouts, and more, there’s a fun, fashionable Western boot for every festival look out there.

Flare Pants
Flared pants are the perfect festival bottoms because they’re wide and breezy enough to keep your legs cool, but cute enough to pair with your favorite top. While basic flares are fun, flared pants with novelty details like an interesting color or unusual fabric will add an exciting new dimension to your festival look. Pair them with a crochet top for a groovy, 70s-chic vibe or a breezy white top to look like you’ve just stepped off the boardwalk at the beach.

Pops of Color
A really cute, easy festival look: an all-white (or other neutral) ensemble with pops of color to amp things up. Thanks to the trend of wearing a light, loose, open top over swimwear, this is such a simple look to pull off that is cute and comfy. Grab a bright, colorful swimsuit and toss it on under a white crochet skirt or cover-up for an on-trend look that’s just as fun as the festival you wear it to.
