Festival Fashion for the Edgy Chic

Whether or not you’re a music fest junkie, festival fashion is something that you should familiarize yourself with. A couple of weeks ago, Nancy (the girl boss behind Current Clothing – my fav SF boutique) and I were reminiscing about February’s New York Fashion Week. We laughed as I described my bell bottoms transforming from orange to orange ombré in a matter of minutes. It snowed 10+ inches and the bottoms of my pants were SOAKED! It’s hard to dress to impress in the dead of winter. Props to the New York fashionistas. That is when she said, “skip NYFW and go to Coachella!” While I have never been to the famous fest, I have admired it from a far on Instagram. She’s right, the festival fashion is on another level! I might just have to give it a whirl.

Nancy went on to tell me that brands and showrooms have designated product lines for Coachella. Gone are the days where people are out Easter dress shopping. In California, at least, it is all about the latest and greatest in festival fashion!

So what exactly is festival fashion? It is a cross between bohemian and sexy. Think fringe, flares, feathers, headpieces, and chunky jewelry. Click here to see Kendall Jenner’s Coachella outfits. Apparently we have the same interpretation because she is killin’ it in a peek-a-boo maxi skirt, statement belt, and headband.

These fringe hem jeans SCREAM festival fashion! While I will not be attending Coachella this year, I hope this post will provide “fashspiration” for those of you who will be. I am obsessed with the super high waist because it makes for easy pairing with crop tops. I do not like the show my belly button. Does that makes me “old school?!” Anyway, the featured crop top is from Current Clothing but any frilly top would work in its place. Naturally, my festival fashions are a little bit edgy. I accomplish this by incorporating black accents, a choker, and a bold red lip. What are you festin’ in?!

As promised, I will be showcasing my festival favorites over the next several weeks. In case you missed round one, click here before reading on.

If you’re a devoted Instagram user, then you’ve probably noticed all of your favorite fashionistas adorned in beautiful tassel handbags. Not just any tassel handbag, rather those out of Rebecca Minkoff’s Sofia collection. The backpack version is the perfect storage option for your festival must-haves, and you’ll free up your hands carrying it on your back.

Just because the live music stopped, doesn’t mean the dance party has to! Keep the fun going with the Beach Sounds Radio. Flip the on switch to tune in to the radio, or open it up and use as a set of portable speakers. Compatible with most handheld MP3 players and phones, this noise machine is available in coral, teal, and blue, making it a fabulous accessory to nearly any ensemble.

I do not splurge often on designer shoes, but these beauts make it very tempting to do so. Leave it to Stuart Weitzman to perfect the oxford/flatform hybrid with The Kent Oxford! These kicks will take your festival fashions to the next level (literally and figuratively). Featuring a gold linen and raffia design, whether you rock ’em with shorts or flare leg pants, you will have heads turning.
