It is Festival Season, Yall! Music and art festivals are always the highlight of the summer for me.As a bonafide ambivert, it's the perfect social but not too social setting. I love everything about festival season, the music, the food, the weather, and the festival outfits - especially the festival outfits.
Music festivals permit us to live out our fashion fantasies. Those outfits we would normally be too modest to wear.Maybe it's too colorful.Maybe it's too much skin. Maybe it'sjust not your “style”. But when you get to the festival… you have every reason to live out loud. Why not? You're there to see your favorite artist, enjoy the music, andmaybe get a little intoxicated(Your call, I am not judging). You need to make a statement.
Festival outfits have elevated over the years. Trust me, I have seen some out of this world outfits. From the psychedelic to the bohemian to the Afrocentric, there are true moments of self-expression that I have appreciated dearly. Like I said before, it's the perfect time to live out your fashion fantasy. To inspire your next festival look, we scoured the internet for evidence of some of the greatest festival outfits from Coachella.
