Festival Style

Look hot at this year's summer festivals!
Summer music festivals bring out the hippie in everyone! But before you hit Coachella, Bonnaroo, or Lollapalooza, pack those boho-chic fashion essentials...Because you have to be in style to really rock out!

Feathers, bright colors, headpieces, and fringe, oh my!

FUN SANDALS...Upgrade your ratty flip flops to a shoe thats comfy and chic! Ikat is one of spring's hottest trends, and the wearable wedge on this sandal gives you a boost in height so you get a better view on stage! Lulus.com
FLIRTY BANDEAUS...Tank tops are a must wear, but mix up your basics by layering a cool bra underneath! These cute bandeaus are worth showing off! aerie.com
COOL SUNGLASSES...Stand out in a crowd of simple sunnies! A killer pair of shades will make you impossible to miss! Topshop.com
COLORED DENIM SHORTS...Lounging in grass (or even dancing) can be tricky in a mini skirt. A pair of cut off jean shorts in a bright color give you the same cute style...They look so cute with a crochet tank and retro shades! ae.com
A WOVEN BAG...A cute cross body bag gives shape to a floaty sundress. Plus there's room enough for your essentials: money, ticket stubs, and breath mints! Roxy.com
