Have you ever thought, “I have nothing to wear,” when you stand in front of your crammed closet and look at the abundance of possibilities for clothes? Likewise. Perhaps, though, the problem isn’t that you can’t think of anything to wear. All you need is a little inspiration, like ideas for festival attire, to help you view your wardrobe in a different light. Herein lies the role of Outfit Dump. We provide you enough inspiration to keep up your look until the next big thing drops.
We are approaching festival season, and it will begin with Coachella 2024, which is perhaps one of the most stylish events of the year. The Southern California desert is welcoming an influx of celebrities, influencers, and music enthusiasts who are providing us with months’ worth of clothing inspiration.
There’s a lot to enjoy in the realm of festival fashion right now, from breezy button-downs and caftans to wearable interpretations of the major Y2K fads (think rosette appliqués and loose designs). To help you with your summertime attire this year, we’ve compiled a list of the best festival ensembles from the Coachella Valley and beyond.
Festival Outfit Idea: Head-to-Toe Glitter
Since your moment to shine should rival that of the performers on stage at any music event.
Festival Outfit Idea: Hot Pants
Whether or not you’re bedazzled, wear a pair of stylish hot pants to your preferred event, taking cues from Olivia Rodrigo’s on-stage style. In addition, you can accessorize them with a statement-making pair of tights for more flair and weather protection.
Festival Outfit Idea: Crochet Mini Dress
A crochet minidress is not only vibrant and entertaining, but it will also help you stay cool (and is simple to layer with if necessary) if you spend a long day outside. Yay for the red cowboy boots! Extra points!
Festival Outfit Idea: Fringe
Embrace the Western style by wearing fringed—well, everything. Wear all black or, for a more understated look, make one piece of clothing the focal point of your ensemble.
Festival Outfit Idea: Cowboy Boots
Coachella attire has always been heavily influenced by the West, but the festival cowgirl is in her prime right now. We adore these vibrant red cowboy boots with a butterfly design worn with a basic skirt and tank set.
Festival outfit idea: cowboy hat
Not really feeling the boots? Though the floret, shoulder-bearing top here has truly captured our eye, cowboy hats are still a festival mainstay that may be repurposed for an amazing horse girl fashion moment this summer (swipe right for a closer look).
Festival outfit idea: swimsuit as a top
Want to wear the simplest, coziest button-down this summer? Over a black bikini top and pants, wear it open.
Festival outfit idea: scarf top
We don’t mind that Storm Reid, the style icon of Generation Z, is paying homage to the early 2000s scarf top fad.
Festival Outfit Idea: Animal Print
Since leopard print is 2024’s neutral (really!), including it into your festival ensembles is a no-brainer. Nevertheless, you may also attempt an other animal print in a variety of striking hues (such as a tiger, zebra, or cow) if you want to stand out from the crowd even more.
Festival outfit idea: florals
Are you feeling like you’re wearing too many flowers? Don’t worry, my buddies in fashion. Simply said, it doesn’t exist.
Festival outfit idea: belly chain
This bra top and belly chain combination is everything to us. Bonus points for the necklace with a butterfly motif.
Festival outfit idea: Y2K butterflies
Have you not heard? The aughts are making a comeback in style. Therefore, more butterflies are always a good thing, especially when they come in the form of Dua Lipa-approved butterfly tops.
Festival Outfit Idea: Chunky Sneakers
It’s inevitable that you will require a means of comfort throughout your prolonged standing during the weekend. Choose your go-to pair of chunky sneakers, work the rest of your ensemble around them, go out and dance, and you’ll thank us later.
Festival outfit idea: denim
It’s official: denim mini vests will always be in style.
Festival outfit idea: tank top and baggy jeans
White tank top, baggy jeans, belt, and midriff. Hailey Bieber is the perfect person to show off a simple summertime wardrobe strategy that works for everyone.
Festival Outfit Idea: Baggy Jorts
Is your favorite pair of baggy pants too hot on you? Try wearing loose-fitting jorts!
Festival outfit idea: rubber boots
Please, let us normalize the wearing of functional, weatherproof shoes as a major fashion statement.
Festival outfit idea: mini skirt
It’s not necessary to give up on your beloved mini just because maxi skirts are in style.
