Get the festival look

 

We all know that in fashion there is two main seasons, Fall-Winter and Spring-Summer. But what about the Festival Season? The time of year where you listen the best music, create unforgettable memories and you don’t get enough sleep.

 

Once again this fabulous time of the year is just around the corner and here we have the list of what you need and, as always, some fashion inspiration. From Glastonbury to Coachella, this is a compilaition of essentials;

 

 

 1) Dresses and booties. The rule number one is to enjoy the party, and for doing that you need a super comfortable outfit. There is nothing more easy to wear than a dress, because with just one piece you have the whole outfit. The good point is that you can always play with textures and colours, but our recommendation is going straightforward metallics.

 

But if this is not your style don’t forget that transparent dresses are on trend right now and a music fest is the prefect scenario for trying things that you don’t normally wear. In terms of shoes don’t go to crazy, we all know that at the end of the night they will be destroyed. Little boots are and stable go to for not having any problem with whatever you find in the floor and by using an old pair if they don’t survive there is no drama. Fashion tip: any dress look cooler with a hat.

 

2)Jumpsuit

Lest be realistic, jumpsuits have been on trend since their boom in 2015 and a fest is the best place for wear that backless one you bought back in the day.

It’s the same as before, one piece, you don’t even have to think and you can also save space for baby wipes in your suitcase! The best idea is to chose a simple one and add a lot of accessories to it, like bandanas, chokers or flowers, the sky is the limit and festivals are made for dressing up.

 

 3)Shorts&tops

Dressing over the top is encouraged at these events so go a little crazy – get out all the shorts that make your butt Pop and match them with some party cropped tops.

This is a sick combination that can look really cool and is 100% made for dancing!

 

 

 4)The final touch

 If you have ever dreamed of being a mermaid this is your time, put some glitter on the side of your eyes and shine all day long. The key for this super easy makeup is to apply with a cheap brush some wet look styling gel in parts of the face that you want to put the lose glitter after, we promise that is not going to move.

-A fashion tip: buy big glitter not the thin one that is like powder, because is easier to remove.

 

Hair garlands are the best, they help short hair to look cooler and long hair to stay in place, so definitely this super boho piece is an essential.

 

If you like to experiment more you can also wear a hair bandana, with only one of this you can create so many hair styles from retro rockabilly hair wraps to 70s girl is an awesome finishing touch.

 

Super-sized earrings are mandatory and if you find some feather ones even better, they will elevate your outfit to another level. Do not forget to follow the same stapel with all the jewellery, you can either be a big minimalist and put a lot of small pieces together or all the way round, big accessories but single, whatever it works for you.

 

5) Make sure you have…

 

Most important advice, don’t forget to enjoy the party!
