Music Festival Style

What is summer without music? Whether you are hitting up Outside Lands, Bonnaroo,  Warped Tour, Lollapalooza or any one of the tons of music festivals happening this summer, we’ve got you covered on how to make your style as awesome as the music.

For the more laid back festivals like Outside Lands, these airy and ethereal outfits make great options for chilling out.                     

Style tip: Thigh highs make a great piece to transition from day to night if you plan on being at the festival all day and til closing time!  According to weather reports from various years at Outside Lands, weather has varied from warm to freezing! Better be prepared and bring along a chunky knit sweater!

For the more rough ‘n tumble events like Warped Tour, things can get a little down and dirty- and of course, notoriously hot! Muscle tees, denim shorts and sneakers will guarantee you a great time without all the fuss. Alternatively, for our concert goers who experience cooler or rainy climate in the summer, leggings or disco pants are great options that are just as comfy!    

Style Tip: To keep those rays out of your face, the perfect pair of sunnies is a must! Comfy shoes are a necessity as well – You’ll never know if you’ll get to surf the crowd or get pulled up on stage by your favorite band! Definitely can’t go wrong with a pair of classic high top sneakers.

Bonnaroo is known for its’ eco-friendly, bohemian, rock and a splash of country feel. We’ve come up with outfits that incorporate these various elements. Bring on the lace, plaid, florals, fringe, and booties!

Style Tip: To cool off at the fountains provided at Bonnaroo, wear a bikini underneath your clothes for easy access! A lightweight backpack is super convenient to keep a set of extra clothes as well as your sunglasses, keys, and sunblock!

Lollapalooza has some serious rock headliners this year such as The Cure, The Killers and Nine Inch Nails. For Lollapalooza and events like it, show off your edgier side with a faux leather vest and a sweet pair of aviators!For those wanting to channel elegant with an edge, try a maxi dress with slits. For a touch of color, opt for a daring color in accessories! 

Style tip: A cross body bag is perfect to keep your hands free to dance the night away and to keep a poncho in just in case that inevitable Chicago rain decides to pay a visit! 

Whatever you choose to wear, have fun, don't stress, stay hydrated, stay safe, and enjoy the music!
