The Best Music Festival Outfits of 2023
Toss your flower crowns! Coachella is heading our way, which means a clutch of other music festivals is on the horizon, too. But this season is less about the 60s-era looks that dominated music lovers' outfits in the early aughts and more about how to interpret straight-from-the-runway trends into a modern groupie’s dream. In short, a new generation has taken over and they’re all about taking city-style to the edge of the stage. Think sheer dresses, crop tops, and Instagram-worthy cut-outs. And instead of those once ubiquitous floral wreaths, start searching for a striking, decorative headband that will set you apart from the crowd. Wondering where to start? We’ve rounded up the best festival outfits for you below.
Once Ciara stepped onto the Oscars red carpet donning a mesh halter-neck slip dress, searches for sheer looks escalated, making it the highest trending look of the night. Fast forward to now, and it’s the perfect addition to your festival wardrobe. Throw yours over swimwear by day, or wear it under a cropped denim jacket on cooler nights.
This longtime festival season favorite was all over the SS23 runways, making it a smart investment. Wear yours with sheer dresses now, jeans, and sweaters when fall rolls around.
Consider this the new take on the elevated boho look and a luxe alternative to the floaty dresses of festivals past. We love it for its airy, light, totally of-the-moment appeal.
Casual or elevated, cut-outs were all over the SS23 runways and are the perfect addition to your festival packing list. Effortlessly cool in more ways than one, be sure to pair yours with western boots or sneakers for a modern edge.
Once synonymous with Coachella, flower crowns have been usurped by the glam headband. Our favorites are replete with outré embellishments that won’t fail to take your look to the next level.
This modern Y2K icon is the perfect festival piece. Offering more coverage than a bikini top but cooler than a t-shirt, it looks just as good with jeans as a miniskirt.
Add this to your list of items that never go out of style. Denim skirts, of any length, are a must-pack. Wear instead of jeans with crop tops and western boots, or a playful pair of summer sandals.
