Take a look at Coachella – is it a music festival or a fashion show? Or both in one? With the festival season approaching, we cannot be more excited to kill two birds with one stone – listening to our favorite bands while serving that fashion show look. Even though there are many people who don’t dress to impress but rather to feel comfortable while raving to their favorite tunes, many tend to show all the best pieces they have in their closets, and it’s just the right way to go! Music festivals are not only about music, they are about lifestyle and fashion as well. So, this is your music festival guide – what to wear and how to pull it off?
Boho is the most popular
We already mentioned Coachella, but isn’t your association to the festival the Boho style? It definitely is, mainly because so many celebrities opt to rock this style on this festival. The Bohemian-inspired trend has been in the spotlight of the men’s fashion industry for quite some time now, which means that you can choose some of the timeless pieces that will make you look extremely fashionable. Not only that, but the photographs that you take while wearing Boho clothes are definitely Instagram worthy! After all, you will be paying tribute to the 70’s Woodstock vibes, and is there any better place to do so than at a music festival?
Show that you’re a metalhead
You will certainly dress according to the type of music festival you are attending, so if you’re into metal music, why not actually show who you are rather than faking it? It doesn’t matter that it’s not the most popular fashion trend at the moment, but pairing jeans with your favorite metal hoodies might just be the perfect combination for you. This will definitely show your true lifestyle and the music style you’re into, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, you will be one of not so many who will rock this trend at a music festival, which is definitely a good thing. It’s always good to stand out from the crowd!
Athleisure, baby!
If you want comfort and fashion in one, then athleisure is just the trend for you. This is a trend that has gained a lot of popularity recently, and it seems that it’s here to stay. Just remember this article when in a couple of decades you see athleisure as the symbol of the 2010’s! Anyhow, combining sports clothing with some formal garments is extremely fashionable, and a music festival is a great place to show how you can dance in your sports sneakers while wearing an excellent blazer. This trend also allows you to play with colors and different types of eco-friendly clothing, so anything that you wear that includes your gym clothes is great!
Going lumberjack
Even though it’s perceived as a cliché, wearing lumberjack clothes is still extremely popular, especially during music festivals. And it’s for a good reason – everyone looks great wearing a plaid shirt and skinny jeans while rocking a beard. For the total hipster look that you want to achieve you know what you have to do – take a black and red plaid shirt, button it up, style your beard and pick the skinniest jeans that you own. You will definitely get noticed!
Back to black
Finally, you can always opt for going in black from head to toe. This doesn’t mean that you’re into goth or metal music, it just means that you’re quite minimalistic and that you know how to rock black everywhere you go. Black is also an extremely popular color and it never goes out of fashion, so you won’t be making any mistake if you choose to wear your favorite black skinny jeans, a black turtleneck and a black leather jacket. Still classy AF!
Yes, dressing for a music festival might not be your main priority, but you definitely need to think about your outfit as it’s equally important just like the music you will be listening to there. It shows who you are, what you care for, and most importantly, that you take yourself seriously!
I haven't been in a music festival but I know for sure it's very happy
