Summer Series: Festival Wear
August 15, 2016, by Deena @Shoes to Shiraz
Hi there !
I'm Nicole from Nick and Nicole + 4 and it's my turn with the summer series ! I chose to talk about festival wear for the 30+ crowd. Last year I was lucky enough to attend to festivals ( wayhome and Boots and Hearts). This year I was only able to go to Boots, but it was still amazing!
These are two very different ( music wise) festivals but the fashion was mainly the same except for the fact that wayhome ( similar to coachella) had more neon.
Here are some tips I picked up for those of us who are no longer 18,19 or 20 but want to look cool at a concert or festival !
1. Wear a hat. This helps with sweaty hair problems. Spending the entire day outdoors in the heat can kill whatever cute hair day you had planned. Wearing a hat fixes this. Here are a few I have worn.
2. Over the shoulder purse. Bonus points if you have fringe. This is a must have !! Who wants to carry a huge purse ? Or not carry one at all and lose money and keys that fall out of pockets. Not me. Yay for small purses. ( see both of us below with our cross body bags. Handy for hand sanitizer and extra toilet paper ....cause concerts are gross )
3. Accessorise. Wear layers of necklaces. Apparently glitter tattoos are cool too.
4. Bring a plaid shirt. Tie it around. Your waist. Yes I'm serious. This is not a fashion thing. It's a "it gets cold when the sun goes down and you will freeze if you don't have this " thing. Your welcome for this tip. ( see pic above. Kristy was smart with the plaid. Me- I froze )
5. Wear sneakers. Like converse. I didn't ( I wore sandals) and my feet were gross by the end of the weekend.
Other Big trends I noticed this year (mainly from the younger ladies there..)
- Off the shoulder tops (Like this one from Forever 21)
- White flowy shirts with denim cut offs (Like this one)
- Chokers (like this one)
- Belly tops (like this one)
Hopefully someone finds this useful for any concerts they are attending soon - especially outdoor ones! I'm lucky enough to be seeing Adele in October, so I'm pretty excited to outfit plan!
