Cowboy Boots or Sneakers
Comfortable and chic shoes are a must when attending these events. You’ll probably be walking around and standing all day, so avoid wearing footwear that would make it harder to explore the concert grounds. Also, expect that your shoes can get dirty because of squeezing through people and the grounds itself being dusty.
Bum Bag
Bringing a practical bag such as a bum bag, cross-body bag or a backpack will store your essentials in one place: wallet, phone, ticket, keys, even a portable phone charger. Be sure to bring this functional accessory to complete your look and allow you to jump to the rhythm hands-free!
Denim
Whether you’re planning on wearing a full ensemble or just a pants/jacket, wearing denim is a good companion to the event. It’s a classic look that can easily be partnered with any top.
Sunglasses or Cap
The dust and heat may get a bit overwhelming, so be sure to wear hats or sunglasses to see your favorite artists against the blazing and bright sun.
Oversized Shirts
If you’re seeing your favorite artists, show your support by wearing an oversized shirt relevant to the band. For women, wearing a vintage design shirt paired with sports leggings or denim is a good option to beat the heat outside. For men, an oversized shirt with denim pants is the way to go!
Flowy top + shorts or denim
Another go-to festival outfit, opt for a flowy patterned shirt, which can be worn under a tank top or closed on its own, and a denim shorts.
Crochet Piece
For the bold woman, level up your style by wearing crochet pieces or mesh dresses with bikinis underneath! This will put you in the spotlight because of your daring look, a perfect ensemble for any summer festival.
Ultimately, going to a concert is about enjoying music, seeing the bands live and up close, jamming with the vibrant crowd and having a great time. It just helps uplift your mood even more when you’re in a good looking outfit, when you feel comfortable with what you’re wearing and when you bring a functional accessory making it easier to stay in the event. Fashion is all about sharing your unique style and what better way of showcasing it than through a music festival, meeting new people along the way. It’s all about how you carry yourself with confidence, no matter what you wear.
