All music festivals goers know that many festivals can very much be fashion shows run by music lovers. They provide great opportunities to try out bold, stylish and daring outfits that you may not put on if it wasn’t for the special and fun occasion. For those who are unsure of what to wear to see your favorite artists this summer, here are some inspirations for you!
Category 1 – EDM/Rave Music Festivals
Upcoming: Electric Daisy Carnival Vegas (@EDC_LasVegas), HARD summer (@HARDFEST), TomorrowWorld (@TomorrowWorld), Electric Forest (@Electric_Forrest), Electric Zoo NYC (@ElectricZooNY)
Most attendees at EDM music festivals go in rave outfits, from neon to metallic to colorful and extravagant makeup. Though it’s tempting to dress like a typical raver with tight clothing, be sure to dress comfortably, as the festival can get exhausting. Bright tanks and tees can be super cute; comfortable bikini tops are popular too. Shorts are always a good and safe option, though many wear bikini bottoms or short skirts. Do not wear heels because you’ll be dancing a lot! Prevent some major pain and soreness by wearing comfortable shoes. Many rave girls wear fluffies as well.

Category 2 – Country/Folk Music Festivals
Upcoming: Newport Folk Fest (@Newportfolkfest), CMA Fest (@CMAFestVIP)Willamette Country Music Festival, Summerfest (@Summerfest), Country Fest (countryfest)
Country and folk music festivals are obviously full of country lovers wearing cowboy boots, plaids, patterned tops and dresses, denims, and a lot of hats. Some prevalent colors are brown, green and white. Since it’s country, many also wear American flag patterns. Add some floral, tribal or pattern accessories to add to the country look!
