If I’m being honest, I have never really been a festival person. I know people who absolutely love it and travel to different cities to go to festivals or never miss a Coachella. Couldn’t be me. I’m not sure why, I love music and any excuse to dress outside of your comfort zone, but something about the big crowds and the thought of walking miles from one stage to another just didn’t appeal to me. You’ll never guess what convinced me to go to my first festival. I had a Hamptons trip already planned with my friends and we have a running joke about how I’m always drinking a Celsius (my energy drink of choice), and that Celsius was sponsoring a festival in the Hamptons the same weekend we were already going to be attending.
When the stars align like that, how can one say no? So suddenly my relaxing weekend out East has turned into attending my first festival and I totally needed to pivot on what I was planning to pack. As a festival first timer I took to Pinterest, instagram, and TikTok to look for tons of festival outfit inspiration. While this was a festival it was also a festival in the Hamptons, so of course I had to take that into consideration when packing. Once I arrived at the festival there were so many classic concert trends on display. Everyone took their festival fit very seriously. I was honestly impressed, but there were 5 trends that no-doubt reigned supreme.
Keep scrolling to see which 5 trends I saw everywhere.
Western boots have been a festival go to for years and I must say, from what I saw at my first festvial they still reign supreme. I couldn’t go a few feet without seeing a heard of girls in skirts, dresses, and shorts all sporting their western boots. I’m a huge fan of the western vibe so this is a trend you can sign me up for.
Crochet is one of my favorite trends for summer in general but it’s perfect for a festival. It has that coachella-y vibe to it. For my first festival look I opted for a crochet mini dress from Frankie’s Bikinis.
Some may argue that the cut off denim short is out but I have to say, it seems the festival crowd disagrees. They’re a classic summer staple and go with basically anything. I’m not mad about it.
If you know me, you know I love a good wide brim hat. So of course when I was heading to my first festival I knew a hat would be involved, and I wasn’t the only one. I wore a hat from Lack of Color (my go-to brand for hats if I’m being honest) and got so many compliments.
Who doesn’t love a good matching set? They’re so easy to style and when dressing for a concert you want to be stylish but also feel comfortable when dancing around or walking from one stage to the next.
