Accessories to Fit Your Festival Vibe

By: Caitlin Madden

Don’t forget the finishing touches.

Festival season is finally upon us again. We’re looking forward to seeing our favorite bands, dancing with our friends, and of course, planning our outfits.

But, what’s an outfit without the accessories? And when do you have more freedom to accessorize than at a festival? They’re all about self-expression, getting inspired by the music, and being the most extra version of yourself. So whatever your vibe, we have the accessories to take it up a notch or two.

Because, when it comes to festival accessories, our motto is definitely more is more.

THE SPOTLIGHT STEALER

Let’s be real — for some people, half the fun of going to a music festival is putting together an outfit. If you’re at the concert for the Instagram pics just as much as the show, these are the accessories for you. Bold, sparkly, attention-grabbing — you’re going all out with your looks and you need these very extra extras to finish things off. Think: flowy boho kimonos, sparkly hair clips, embellished belts, and show-stopping jewelry. Don’t be surprised if other concert-goers stop you and ask, “Where did you get your accessories?”

EASY & BREEZY

You’re there for the music — you want to look cool, feel cool and be cool. You’re probably wearing something simple like a t-shirt and cut-off shorts, so you want to keep things laid-back and effortless with your accessories, but with that model-off-duty, put-together vibe. Go for pieces like layered beaded necklaces, leather accents, a practical bag and super chic sunnies. Add it all to an easy outfit and you can focus on the music, but still feel festival-ready.

RAVE-READY

You’re all about high-energy, having fun and going all out. Your festival outfit is probably a direct reflection of that attitude — bold, funky, maybe a little scantily-clad. You’re pushing boundaries and having a great time, so don’t forget to carry that philosophy into your accessories. You’re the perfect candidate for body jewelry, cool cowboy hats, colorful hair accessories, novelty sunnies, bandanas, embellishment… Honestly? The more accessories, the better!

WITH THE BAND

Are you a rockstar? A groupie? We had to ask — because you really do look like you’re with the band. If your festival style has that grungy, ‘90s cool vibe — these are the accessories for you. You want to add a little extra edge to your outfit (probably a band tee or an effortless slip dress with boots) so pile on some boho jewelry, maybe some oversized aviators, a leather bag and belt, and you’re ready to go – back stage or front row.
