Music festival attendees have a lot to consider when they dress for days or even weekends of live music. There’s the comfort factor, trendiness quotient and question of “Will that outfit look cute on Instagram?” With Coachella a month away and steady stream of fests coming after that, it’s time for the selfie-loving sect to start packing their overnight bags. We're here to help, with a few recommendations:
The matching set
On very few occasions is wearing a matching crop top and skirt appropriate. A music festival is one of those occasions. The set is perfect for frolicking in a field and listening to music ... and taking a photo of the whole ordeal. Afterward, you can wear the top and bottoms separately. (Links: Set 1, Set 2)
The hat
It’s both fashionable and functional (you’ll appreciate its shade). There are many hat options for music fans, from sporty to straw. (Links: Hat 1, Hat 2)
Distressed denim shorts
The best part about these shorts? Festival-induced rips only make the jeans look better. Also: It’s the easiest item of clothing to wear on the grass and at the porta-potty. (Links: Shorts 1, Shorts 2)
A romper
They call it a “playsuit” for a reason: The loose fit of the connected shorts-and-top outfit makes dressing (Only one piece!) and dancing easy and comfortable.But make sure your festival romper is easy on and off —you don’t want to get stuck. (Links: Romper 1, Romper 2)
A white layer top
A festival day may start out hot, but then get cool once night falls.The best way to dress for the change of temps? Layer! At the base of your look, we recommend a simple white top that can be exposed, then covered with a muscle tee, sweater, zip-up or all of the above. (Links: Top 1, Top 2)
