Dress to Impress or Dress to Express?
Festival season is the time of creative expression, embracing vibrant colours and enjoying the freedom of fashion. Other than for celebration, festivals have become a fashion statement in today’s generation. It is important to invest money, time, and creativity in curating your festival outfits.
Here is a simple guide for crafting looks that shine under the sun and sparkle in the night:
Curate Your Fashion Moodboard
Before the festival, it’s important to plan ahead and curate the outfit you want to wear. Open the closet and lay out your pieces, try them on, and see if they match the look you’re going for. Another way to look up outfit inspiration is to surf sites like Pinterest. If you need to buy anything, many sites offer festival pieces!
Set a Budget
If you do want to shop for your outfits, it’s essential to understand the vibe that you’re going for. Based on your curated moodboard, it’s important to set a budget so that you don’t overspend on it. Determine how much you are willing to spend on outfits and accessories and how long they will be durable for. Will they be usable at the next festival? Like this, you can create various outfits using the same pieces that you shop for.
Comfort Meets Style
What’s one way of staying comfortable? Feeling safe in your clothes. Considering festivals are large-scale events, it’s important to allow yourself to dress confidently and fashionably while feeling safe as well. Look for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen that allow for movement. Comfortable sneakers or ankle boots can keep you stylish without worrying about blisters.
The Power of Layering
Layering has become a power move in every fashion statement; layering also allows your OOTD to be interpreted in many different ways. Choose layers that allow you to adapt to changing environments because while it gives depth to your outfit, it also gives you comfortability.
Footwear Matters
The right footwear can not only make or break your festival experience, but your festival outfit as well. Choose footwear that can withstand hours of wear. If you’re attending a multi-day festival, consider bringing extra pairs to switch things up and keep your feet comfortable during the festival.
Accessorise Wisely
Accessories are the cherry on top for outfits. It elevates your festival look and showcases your personality. Think statement jewellery, hats, sunglasses, and fun bags that enhance your outfit. While accessorising, don’t forget to think about the aesthetic of the festival as well!
Mix and Match
Versatility is the goal in festival fashion outfits. The colours and patterns you don’t usually wear? Wear them during festival season! Flaunt those vibrant colours and eye-catching patterns. Include those floral prints and geometric designs in your outfits; mix and match them to create your own unique fashion statement.
Finally, festival season is an exciting time to showcase your fashion sense. Mixing comfort and creativity allows you to create OOTDs that are not only great but allow you to express yourself freely as well. Remember, while you may have the most fashionable outfit out there, the best accessory is confidence, so wear what makes you feel amazing! Embrace the fun of OOTD planning during festival season and let your style shine!
