6 Outfits That Fuse Fashion Trends And Festival Style
As the winter's chill fades away and we inch toward warmer weather, we can all rejoice — it's finally festival season. When it comes to festivals, anything goes, from neon matching sets to leaning into your inner cowgirl with boots and a 10-gallon hat. Of course, it's more fun to put together your 'fit when you consider current trends. If Prada and Jil Sander's spring/summer collections are anything to go by, fringe will be big this year, and there's nothing more festival than long tassels. The micro-shorts trend is still going strong, too, so expect to see a lot of them while listening to your favorite musicians.
There are no rules for festival dressing, so take whatever trend or two tickles your fancy and incorporate them into your look. Just remember that being comfy is key, as you'll likely be on your feet for hours — and you don't want to overheat, either. Oh, and don't forget to accessorize with lots of colorful jewelry.
A fringe jacket and crochet top make festival dressing a breeze
If you want to embrace fringe this spring, look no further than a suede jacket accented with tassels. Not only does it give a boho feel but it'll also keep you warm if you party into the night. A crochet top worn with jeans is the perfect festival look to complete your laidback vibe. Add a brown fedora, and you're set to listen to some groovy tunes with your friends.
Cowboy boots mix fashion and function
The Western look is hot right now, and even Beyoncé has hopped on the train with "Cowboy Carter." Cowboy boots are super trendy and up your fashion game when you want footwear dressier than sneakers. Wear them with skinny jeans, which aren't dead yet despite what some might think, or you can opt for a cute miniskirt. If your boots are new, just be sure to break them in before heading to your festival or you might end up with painful blisters.
A trenchcoat will elevate your festival 'fit
Trenches were all over spring 2024 fashion runways, and they're not just for the office anymore. Drape yourself with a loose, unstructured one for a more casual Coachella feeling. A pair of wide-leg jeans and a crop top will make you look less stuffy and more rave-friendly. If you're on the petite side, you can get a few extra inches with a set of chunky platform boots so you're not stuck trying to peer over someone's shoulder.
Go bold with cherry red
This year is all about bright colors. More specifically, we're going to see a lot of red during festival season. Stay ahead of this trend by incorporating a piece of crimson clothing into your 'fit, such as a spaghetti-strap top. Since cherry red is such a loud color, we recommend keeping the rest of your look neutral. A white cardigan and a pair of nude-colored palazzo pants should complete your outdoor fiesta fête.
Shine bright in a silver outfit
Move over, matte finishes — metallics are one of 2024's biggest trends, and there's no better place to wear them than a festival. Whether you choose silver-coated jeans, a bodycon dress, or moon boots, you'll definitely stand out in a crowd — and it'll be easier for your friends to spot if you get separated.
A sheer maxi skirt keeps you cool and on-trend
While maxi skirts have never gone out of style, this year, you'll want to opt for a breezy one with lots of volume and movement. A sheer chiffon style will leave you looking like a floating festival princess, especially when paired with a white, angelic lace top. Moreover, this outfit will look perfect with a pair of versatile fisherman sandals.
