Festival Fashion
Festivals are great events for listening to great music and stuffing your fast with tasty calorie filled snacks (you’ll have such a good time that you won’t be counting). There’s no need to bring out your fanciest ball gown, as festivals generally are a laid back type of environment. Festivals are the perfect time to go full on carefree boho chic or sporty casual.
To achieve the boho chic and carefree look, flowy silhouettes and light fabrics are perfect. Feel free to explore and play with mix-matching patterns to get that “effortless” feel. A cute pair of sandals will really take the overall look exactly where it needs to go. With this type of outfit, you can let your hair be free and wild! Vanessa Hudgens’ Coachella appearance over the past few years are the perfect inspiration for the “I’m cute and carefree” attitude that you want your outfit to give off. If you want boho festival looks without breaking the bank, Forever 21 is perfect. Forever 21 really knows how to keep the perfect festival clothing on their shelves.
If you’re not a fan of the cutesy girl looks, casual clothes may be the way to go for you. Finally an excuse to wear baggy tees and jeans. Since a lot of festivals take place during warmer months, you can skip the jeans and get a pair of shorts. Or if you’re crafty, take an old pair of jeans and make a custom pair of shorts for yourself. Tilly’s is perfect for finding clothes that fit this aesthetic. They have an endless supply of cool tee shirts and of course a casual staple: plaid. If you want a more feminine look while wearing a baggy top, consider cropping it. Kendall Jenner is the queen of casual festival clothing. Just take a look at Kendall’s Coachella fits over the years.
Coachella’s 2018 headliner, Beyoncé Knowles, didn’t just teach us how to put on a show, but she taught us that we can definitely be glam at festivals too. So, if you’re a girly girl who wants to wear sequins, pearls and platforms, you can! Pretty Little Thing has the cutest clothing for those of us who want a glam look.
For the men reading this, or for people with boyfriend’s that get dressed in the dark, we have some tips for you as well. The most budget friendly Coachella outfit for males is the classic Hawaiian shirt and jeans or shorts. Luckily for your wallet you can thrift this entire outfit and save tons of money (you can also find Hawaiian shirts in the dad’s clothing section of Walmart). If you’re only going to wear a plain t-shirt consider sprucing it up with a bandana or a hat! If you want to go for the cool, casual look, Tilly’s is perfect with their big selection of graphic tees and comfortable jeans.
Festivals are the perfect place to show off your inner fashionista that you don’t typically get to show or to switch it up completely.
Top Styles For Autumn
During the summer your fashion sense can take a hit due to sweating and just sitting at home to escape the summer heat. Autumn is the perfect time to let your inner fashionista shine and of course, the best part of all: layers!
Stylish outerwear is a must for autumn due to temperatures dropping. A camel coat is the perfect addition to everyone’s wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down and it matches virtually everything. Cardigans will always be a fall favorite because it essential for layering. You can take a simple long sleeved shirt and make it look ten times better by putting a cardigan over it. For days where you don’t feel like putting a lot of thought and effort in to an outfit, oversized hoodies will be your best friend. Under the huge hoodie you can throw on a pair of leggings or yoga pants and you’ll still look fabulous.
Jeans are an important part of a lot of autumn ensembles. This is the perfect time to make sure that all of your jeans fit, and if not donate them to someone who is in need. Jean shopping is super fun because every year more styles and designs are released. You can even have a weekend filled with DIY projects by beddazling and patching jeans that you already have (as a bonus you can invite friends over to do this with you).
Boots aren’t just made for walking, they’re for completing your outfit. While it is still exactly winter and the weather is forgiving enough for some skin to show, you have a lot of options for boots.
Ankle boots are the perfect fashionable footwear. You can go with the basic black booties that can be matched with almost anything. Or you can go for a sophisticated pair that need a little more thought for matching. Knee high boots are always in style, and luckily for us they keep the legs warm.
Regardless of the simplicity or complexity of your outfit, you’re looking to make a statement. Here are a few pieces that can do that for you no matter your personal style:
Scarves are meant for protecting our bodies from chilling temperature but who says they cant be fashionable as well? The best way to style your outfit with a scarf is to add a printed scarf or an oversized scarf. The oversized scarf is the perfect statement piece for an outfit, but of course it keeps you warm as well. If you’re going to use a printed scarf, be daring a go with a print that contrasts with everything else. That will definitely make a statement.
Accessories are like the dessert of an outfit, you don’t always need them but when you do, you’ve got to do it right. Bold earrings are the perfect way to have a statement piece when you are bundled from head to toe during chilly weather. You’re earrings can be large, statement pieces or simply colorful stud earrings. Once you’re unbundled, even a simple necklace can take an outfit to the next level.
