When the sun comes out and the days last a little longer, you know that festival season is upon us. Most festival goers say they attend for the music and great times, but deep down we all know that it has everything to do with fashion and style. The amazing thing about festivals is that there are really no wrong or right ways to express your personal style. It’s all about freeing your mind and spirit in order to just go with the flow. In fact, some of our best outfits happen when we don’t put much thought into them at all. That’s the key to having the perfect festival outfits for both men and women. But just in case you’re still unsure of where to start, here are some helpful tips.

For a feminine festival look, you can never go wrong with flowers. But instead of the typical sunflowers, spice it up with different florals such as columbines or cosmos. Topshop Houston has a great pair of denim mom style shorts with beautiful floral embroidery. A loose-fitting off-the-shoulder blouse paired with a boater hat is always a great choice for the feminine festival attendee. Or you could always just wear something simple like a crop top and jeans, but pair it with standout jewelry pieces containing colorful beading, feathers and even tassels.

If you consider your fashion sense to be more on the masculine side, you too can still be expressive with your festival outfits. Cut-off jeans and shorts have lots of character, and it screams care free! Guess has a great pair of cut-off denim shorts on sale for $49.99 for a limited time only! Another important piece to add to your outfit is the perfect pair of shades. Ray Bans would be your best choice to go with. Add a cool patterned handkerchief with a sun hat and you’ve got the perfect festival outfit with a masculine flair.

All in all, it’s about having fun at these events. So don’t forget to have fun with your outfits!
