Create Your Own Style
Keep in mind that you are not going for a costume party like a Halloween soiree. You will need to scratch your head and come out with creative ideas to stand out in the crowd. Though there are numerous ways to look fashionable, your style should depend on the pulse of the music festival you will attend.
One of the most happening music festivals is Coachella. The theme of Coachella sticks to Bohemian Eclecticism with influential artistes performing across genres of pop, hip-hop, and rock.
Coachella 2019 set a trend for outfits with fringes and cut-offs, tie-dye hoodies combined with cropped tops were also the favorites. Many preferred to beat the heat in bikini tops and fuzzy jackets. Bright colored outfits paired with ballerinas, body glitters, belts and neck pieces were also the norm.
As Coachella is a summer fest, people prefer to stay light on their costume and accessories. You are free to arrive in anything, from head-to-toe stripes to polka dots and Hawaiian pants.

Undoubtedly, you will be checking on the climate and other generic considerations before you get primed for any festival. But, do be prepared for surprises.
The Glastonbury music festival 2019 will take place this June. Weather predictions have indicated unsettled weather for the Pilton site, the festival destination. So Glastonbury-goers, be sure to stay equipped for that.
A white t-shirt paired with denim shorts can lend you a casual look for the festival. Don’t forget to protect your eyes with a funky pair of sunglasses. Don a unique piece from an extensive range of gold bangles to decorate your wrists, perfect for the festival.
Adding these sunglasses from Nordstrom, and shorts from Lucky Brand, to your festival shopping list, will be a great idea.

Experiment to Add an Edge
Have you ever dared to mix and match a trendy outfit with an older piece of accessory in your closet?
It’s time to do that. Go crazy with ideas and try a never-seen-before fusion of outfits for the festival.
One such combination can be a kimono and floral twist-front-pencil skirt. This can be paired with hand jewelry in gold, chunky-round sunglasses, and mid-heel almond-toe booties.
The Lollapalooza festival is all set to commence in August 2019. The 2018 Lollapalooza saw a mix of thunderstorms and sunny days. However, in 2012, this festival was marked by bad rain and high winds.
The Lolla-goers usually prefer to dress to best tackle the unpredictable climate. Here are a few tips you can consider.
- Style boots and sneakers with oversized shirts, shorts, and jackets for a casual and comfortable look. This way, your legs will also remain safe from the mud in case it rains. You can also try knotting your jackets over skirts, shorts or pants to get the dapper look.
- You can also add a few accessories like a bag or hat. Cross-bags, waist bags, and clutches are the norms as they are easy to carry and accommodate the essentials. Hats protect you from the climate while adding charm to your appearance.
Check out on this crop-top from Lulus, earrings from Nordstrom, bag from Amazon, and pleated skirt from Topshop. This combination is perfect if you want to look stylish while you dance your day away.

Stay Real. Do Not Overdo.
Take care not to go overboard with expressing your creativity. The bottom-line is to have fun and enjoy the festival.
Stacking up skin-tight outfits can leave you exhausted and conscious about your dressing, especially during festivals at summer.
Experiment with multi-colored, free-flowing maxis, miniskirts. Pair them with boots for a unique hippie look.
Play around with your hairstyle. Leave it loose or have the waves tousled. You can also try tying them in a high ponytail or a bun. Using minimal make-up will help keep your look fresh and subtle.

Mind Your Comfort
Make sure to wear clothes you are absolutely comfortable in. You should be considering the fabric used, the size of the dress, and if you will really like to be in the outfit throughout the day.
Opt for airy outfits, cropped-tops or chambray shorts. Wear dresses which let you move around freely. A tight-fitting outfit can spoil the fun. You will definitely not like to keep tugging at your dress all day instead of celebrating the fest!
Avoid footwear which may cause blisters or does not fit well. Consider replacing heels and wedges with sandals or lace-ups. They are comfortable, look better and also help you be on the move.
Wrap Up
The idea of every music festival is to seize the time and bounce back with higher levels of energy. Try to reinvent fashion from trends of the past and sport looks you feel good in.
Regardless of your choice of outfit, make sure to showcase the uniqueness and shape your experience in the best way possible.
