With summer fast approaching and the likes of Forbidden fruit, Longitude, Independence festival, Sea sessions and Electric picnic just a few months away it’s time to get inspired. The best thing about festival fashion is that anything goes, although technically that can be said about fashion in general it’s not always possible to pull off some of the more daring looks such as glitter roots or floral crowns while going about your day to day life! Here are some festival staples that will keep you looking bang on trend no matter what festival you choose to attend.
BO HO QUEEN
For this look it’s all about outfit simplicity with statment accessories. Pairing block colors together to create a ‘co-ord look’ such as a white crop top with white shorts is always a winner. Choosing fabrics like lace or a crochet patterns adds subtle detail to the look. Long flowy skirts can look incredible but are not always practical unless you want it trailing in the mud… or drink that can normally be found at an Irish festival! Once you have your basics it’s all about the accessories. Just add silver jewellery, a funky belt, a hat or floral headband, wavy hair, vintage specks and your done!
ADD SOME EDGE
If you’re looking to make your outfit a bit more edgy there are some simple ways to so, do. Fishnets are huge this year. The 90’s staple has made a crazy comeback and will instantly make your outfit a bit funkier. Chokers, big rings a good hat and some cool boot all make you stand out just that bit more. Throw on some red lipstick and sunnies and the look is complete.
GLITTER BABE
The glitter trend is something that has been around for quite some time however it’s only recently that it’s getting to be the norm to put it everywhere. Glitter roots were huge last year and will surely be making a comeback this year, but if glitter roots aren’t for you can add glitter to your cheekbones to create and extra dramatic highlight or put some on your collarbones to add a bit of sparkle!
