When one thinks about festival dressing, it’s almost impossible not to conjure up images from Coachella‘s heyday, when stars such as Vanessa Hudgens and Alexa Chung ostensibly created the blueprint for the boho chic style that has long taken over the Empire Polo grounds every year.
Now, however, young festival-goers seem to have largely left behind their uniforms of flower crowns, crochet and fringe to embrace their own personal style and self expression. This doesn’t mean the idea of a distinct, identifiable festival style is completely obsolete — breezy knitwear, sleek sneaks and colorful accessories are still par for the course when it comes to festival dressing. But there’s a little more room to play these days, as brands lean into festival season with their own fresh takes on what makes the best, stage-hopping outfit.
Some of the best festival looks for this year can be found in Revolve’s Festival Shop page. The curated collection features an eclectic mix of outfits from dozens of different brands, with something for every type of style. Highlights include this mesh maxi dress, press-on nails and mini skirt. However, you can really stand out in the crowd with unique pieces from lesser-known brands. One of our favorites is this gorgeous pendant necklace from Vancouver-based jewelry brand Kara Yoo.
