Summer Festival Outfits

Is there anyone who doesn’t like music festivals? Maybe… But, I am the kind of person who love them, especially when it’s hot outside.  Besides, I like the idea of being fancy every time, to try the best summer festival outfits, to feel splendid and have fun… 

Anyway… because of that, I think all the time how to dress for a festival before I go to one. And that’s why, mapping out a selection of possible summer festival outfits, it’s my way of dealing with the lack of inspiration when it comes about what to wear to a music festival.

You know how it is: you have the tickets…, a crew of friends…, the location and the date when the festival begins… Starting from that moment, you have to think about what clothes you have to pack in your suitcase.

I don’t know about you, but I like to imagine for each concert how am I supposed to dress, because…, most of the time, the music festivals that I am going to, are not in my hometown. 2

Lucky you, if the festival is in your hometown! 🙂 You’ll have the privilege to change your clothes each time you feel uncomfortable or to adapt your music festival outfits to the weather conditions.

No doubt, music festivals from all over the world, have become events where, aspiring trendsetters and even celebrities, have the possibility to express their wildest and super-creative ideas, for summer festival outfits. Join the fashion crowd! It’s your time to shine!

For that, I invite you to find a selection of festival outfits, that might inspire you when you have a lack of inspiration, like I do… sometimes 🙂 ! Let’s discover together what to wear at a festival or how to dress for a festival.

What to wear to a music festival

Festival fashion outfit ideas, moved on, from cliché ( as uber-many floral crowns) to experimental and unpredictable. Literally nothing is off-limit! Oversized band T-shirts or granny style dresses with combat boots, are definite game-changers.

In case of concert series that take place in a wild and green area, rubber boots and raincoats are a ‘must‘. In addition, I advise you to sacrifice your flirty style ambitions for comfort. Instagram and Facebook-worthy looks can be easily put together with shorts, jeans, Boho maxi dresses and other staples. Think at heels and platforms only if the setting makes it possible to wear them. You don’t want to become a celebrity in festival fail army videos! Oh nooooo!

On the other hand, if you had to make a long, long way to get to the party center, make sure you think out your summer festival outfits carefully. Bye bye style meltdowns and funky surprises!

However, is important to choose some essentials before you conceive your looks for a festival. Starting from these suggestions, you can choose from a selection of pictures I selected for you, according to these essentials.

Don’t be surprised if you’ll be approached by flashing cameras or phones. Leave your serious and mature self at home. Think of you festival looks as a manifesto of your originality.

What to wear to a festival

When you wonder what to wear to festival, I must say that comfort is the key: And it seems like I am not the only one who has this opinion. According accesscreative.ac.uk and womanandhome.com, festivals can be a long day of standing, and dancing, and walking around. That’s why, you should opt for comfortable clothing and shoes like flowy dresses, shorts, a graphic tee, and sneakers.

  • Layers

Because festivals can go from hot to chilly in a matter of minutes, you should bring with you a light jacket, an oversized layer  or a sweater that you can tie around your waist. In that way, you can create wonderful festival looks but protective in the same time when we talk about rainy or chilly weather.

  • Accesories

Festivals are the perfect place to show off your accessories and copy outstanding summer festival outfit ideas that you can find in this pots. Try a cute hat, statement jewelry, and a cross-body bag to keep your hands free to dance. Besides, you don’t want to lose you phone or some other stuff you are caring with you. You need them so, you need a place to store them.

  • Clothes to wear to a festival

Think practical: With all the dust and crowd, it’s better to avoid high maintenance clothing and opt for clothes that are washable and wrinkle-resistant. Besides, you should add some color to your clothes. Festivals are all about having fun and expressing yourself, so don’t be afraid to add some colorful clothes to your wardrobe.

What hats to wear to a festival

Probably you will wonder: why a hat? Well, before I start this style guide for music festival looks, I’ve searched on the internet for other bloggers opinions, because is always nice to have them. I must say I found many and interesting ideas.

But, the idea that a hat is a must for a summer music festival, I found it in a trend trend report, also about what to wear to a festival written by an well known blogger Vanessa ( you can follow this link in order to read her report about summer festival outfits https://stylishlyme.com/what-to-wear/what-to-wear-to-a-music-festival/#).

In this post, Vanessa, suggests that, even if most of us, think that, wearing a hat to a summer music festival is just an accessory for the outfit, in reality, a wide-brimmed hat is protecting your skin from the sun. So, it’s healthy to wear a wide-brimmed hat!!! Don’t hesitate to wear it!

Now, that we’ve established the importance of wearing a wide-brimmed hat, it’s time to see also some images for inspiration. I will start with Vanessa’s suggestion for coachella outfit.

I spy with my little eye the grooviest and snazzy crochet jumpsuit. Amazing how quickly you can go back in time and bring back the ‘Joplin’ vibe of old-time festivals with boots, a hat and crochet bags.

Pharell did pass on the love for these ‘Happy hats’. Keep the rest low-key with a sheer mini or midi dress, chokers and black boots.

What leather belts to wear to an outdoor music festival

I like the idea of wearing a leather belt. From my point of view, it’s an accessory that put your silhouette in evidence and you can also use it for a practical purpose, like, for your pants. You can use it for a visual correspondence with the shoes… 

And I think that leather is suitable for a belt, when we talk about an coachella look, because festivals are like something for hippie people… It’s probably because of the Boho vibe…

Year after year we see the lace dress pop up in its coolest and loveliest way at music festivals. Give to your set a Boho vibe with multiple leather belts and chic ankle boots.

Leaders of the style pack know all about mixin’n’matching bright shades. A red off-shoulder flamenco style top, lace shorts, a leather belt and bright pink ankle boots, what a reckless and daring move for festival outfits women can wear!

Besides, you can perk them nicely with flowy dresses. You can read some ideas about summer festival outfits here https://www.collegefashion.net/fashion-tips/what-to-wear-to-music-festivals/ .

Short pants for summer music festival outfits

Short pants are perfect for this kind of parties: comfortable, your not too hot when wearing them, they are not voluminous in your luggage… However, you have to be careful when you decide to wear something. 

Even if we talk about a festival, you have to think that you should wear decent outfits. A festival doesn’t mean to transform yourself into another person. Don’t dress in a way that you won’t feel comfortable to show up in your parents house. You can read here, more about this: https://www.allure.com/gallery/festival-style-guide .

Give it up for the all time favorite summer festival outfits and wear a romper with boots. Regardless of your figure, you’ll feel flirty and stylish wearing this timeless piece.

Whether you’re a vet or a first timer in music festival style you just can’t go wrong with an off-shoulder top and a pair of shorts. Belts, chokers, hats and booties or sandals help you blend into or stand out from the crowd.

I just love the anti-fashion ambitions of so many festival goers. No need to make a fuss about whether everything fits and looks neat. Throw on a button up tank top, a pair of shorts and survival boots! Bijoux are optional. You can wear this club outfit with shorts to a party. Would you?

Mini skirts to wear for a festival

Mini skirts should not be your first choice for a summer music outfit. Why? I find them not very comfortable to wear, but there are many girls who prefer a mini skirt instead of a pair of shorts when creating girls festival wear.

In this case, double denim is on and will continue to fascinate us. A 3 or 5-day festival allows you to play out plenty of same- or different colored combos.

You can dress like that when you think to a summer outfit for going out with your friends or you are looking for a casual drinks outfit with a mini skirt.

Crochet looks vintage and old. I hear that a lot! But that, doesn’t mean this can be included in casual outfits for  50 year old woman. 

You’ll need a few inspiring pictures with music festival outfits like this one that change the way you think of similar miniskirt and cropped top sets.

You don’t have to party in the dessert to be able to sport a similar white long-sleeve dress with ‘heat-reflecting powers’. It looks just as fantastic also in the concrete jungle or at a city festival.

Top it with a long suede vest for a Woodstock feel. I just love this kind of leather skirt outfit with a mini skirt.

The crop top and the choker saved this outfit from being Western chic at its ‘worst’. Instead, this trendsetter managed to tone down the Cowgirl Jane look and offer us a perfect example of originality.

If outside is not to cold you could wear this outfit with miniskirt, during fall music festivals or, why not, you could use this picture as inspiration, in order to create club outfits for cold weather.

A festival is a free pass to being free-spirited also when it comes to your black skirt outfits. Deep V-neck psychedelic print frocks, booties and retro sunglasses continue to set the ‘Purple Haze’ atmosphere for the event.

Floaty bohemian dresses

What to wear to a summer festival ? If it’s too hot outside, you can chose to wear this kind of dress. Sometimes, I feel easier to wear a dress then a pair of short or long pants, even when we talk about a festival. 

But, you should pay attention at your footwear… there is very crowd there and if you wear sandals, someone can step on your foot…

Mini dresses or hippie dresses, matched with many jewellery and accessories, are pretty interesting to wear when we talk about a summer music festival… 

They are not at all comfortable and it’s a challenge to wear them, but, we know that festival outfits are about self expression and if a mini dress is the way you chose to express yourself… then do it!!!

Boots and Bohemian jewelry are props to turn you into a goddess. Be careful, this kind of dress is not suitable for winter date outfits. It’s too provocative and you might give a wrong impression.

Vibrant colored knit dresses are definitely a thing of the moment. While festival girls try to create the Boho air, turquoise still has a contemporary and ‘haute’ vibe to it.

Long pants

Like the author of the post written on culturacollectiva.com about stylish concert outfits ideas, I think that long pants are the best piece of clothes to wear to a music concert: they are comfortable, easy to match and very practical.

Cross-body bags for cool festival outfits

Some are saying that a backpack would be useful in this situation, but I think a cross-body bag is more practical, even is smaller. Here are some inspiring pictures that you can use.
