Do’s and Don’ts of Music Festival Fashion

Music Festival Season has officially begun. But aside from the awesome line-ups, these festivals have become the ultimate destination for Woodstock inspired fashion. So let your inner hippie run wild with our list of Do’s and Don’ts for Music Festival Fashion.

DO frolic in a dress


It’s all about the flowy sundress on the summer music scene. With maxi dresses hitting big again this season, you’re sure to turn heads in your long, neon dress. If shorter alternatives are more your style, t-shirt and tank dresses are perfect for hot, crowded days.

DO pack your cut-off denim shorts


It seems that this summer, the more cut up your shorts are, the better. While you can purchase a pair of cut-off denims anywhere, the best part of this look is that you can personalize it. Take a pair of old jeans and get to cutting. Adding some holes and patches make the look stand out even more.

DO wear a hat


A hat is a must if you’re planning on spending the day in the sun. Big floppy hats are the way to go if you’re trying to protect your face, but if you’re going for a more fashionable look, a fedora is your best bet.

DON’T get caught with a head dress


Feathers might be a major trend right now, but feather head dresses are not. Vanessa Hudgens made that mistake this weekend at Coachella. If you are trying to channel your inner Indian, try fringes and feather earrings.

DON’T unleash your inner ‘Hammer’


MC Hammer must be more influential than I thought because I’ve been seeing elaborately patterned pants everywhere. The bright, psychedelic patterns might fit the hippie trend, but I for one am not a fan. However, if you find yourself in need of an 80s flashback, at least use subtle colors.

DON’T let a flower overpower your head


With hippie fashion comes flower power. That’s easy to see. However, your don’t want to let the flowers have all the power. If you’re looking for a floral look, try a headband or even a smaller flower. If the flower is too big, it will take away from the rest of your outfit.

Though summer music festivals seem to be an excuse for people to wear as little clothing as possible, keep in mind that you should still bring a sense of style.
