From Coachella to Lollapalooza, music festivals are happening all over the country! It's important to consider the style of each festival when planning your outfit. For example, Coachella is known for its bohemian and beachy style (ask Vanessa Hudgens, she knows) while Lollapalooza has a more edgy and urban vibe. No matter which festival you're attending, it's important to dress for the occasion.
The first thing that comes to mind is definitely a comfy pair of shoes. Trust me, you'll be doing a lot of walking and dancing for days on end, so make sure you wear something that won't hurt your feet. sneakers or boots are a great option. Then, the perfect way to build your outfit from here is a statement piece to make the outfit really pop. Then don't forget something to cover your head like a hat or bandana, and a convenient fanny pack or backpack to carry your sunnies, sunscreen, water, and phone. If it gets chilly, definitely take a light jacket to accompany you at all times.
Those are my main tips, but without further ado, let's dive into my 10 favorite items to wear to a music festival. See you in the crowd!

One of the best things about black leather sneakers is that they can get dirty without ruining the look. Music festivals are known for being dusty, muddy, and sometimes downright dirty, so having a pair of shoes that can handle the mess is crucial. These sneakers not only add a cool edge to your outfit, but their durable material makes them easy to clean and maintain. Plus, you can wear them long after the festival is over, making them a great investment for your wardrobe. Me? I'd pair these with either a total black look or a total denim look!
