Festival season is fast approaching, and if you’ve got Austin City Limits tickets or similar, you may be starting to think about what you’re going to wear. As I love to play dress-up, I thought I’d put together 5 outfit ideas that I would most definitely wear if I were lucky enough to be heading to a festival this year. I hope you like them!
Playsuit | Wedges | Bag | Hair Garland
The first outfit I’ve put together is quite girly and glamorous, and definitely not one to opt for if you know for sure the weather at your chosen festival is going to be mighty horrible! It consists of a cute cream floral print playsuit with a zip back, paired with a stunning pair of cork wedges with a difference … they are covered with lace!
For accessories I felt that less was most definitely more, and thought that a simple cross body bag in a coral shade would compliment it perfectly, and a pearl flower hair garland would give it that whole 1970’s feel that you would expect to see at a festival.
Kimono | Vest | Shorts | Boots | Bag | Necklace
The second outfit I’ve chosen to include in this post is actually one that I’d picked up for my annual holiday to Great Yarmouth this year, but realised would be perfect for festival wear! It consists of a gorgeous coral coloured kimono with a daisy detail all over it and fairly long tassels along the hem, thrown over the top of a plain white vest top and blue denim shorts with a crochet trim.
To finish off the look, I went for a pair of light brown biker boots with studded straps, a stone and pale pink cross body bag and my favourite long necklace, which is designed to look like a vanity mirror.
Maxi | Sandals | Bag | Hair Garland
Maxi dresses are perfect for the festival season, as they originated in the 1970’s. I love this floral one from ASOS, and would team it with a pair of black leather toe post sandals and tasseled skull studded cross body bag. To finish off the look, I think a coral coloured flower hair garland would compliment it perfectly. A simple, yet effective outfit.
Kimono | Vest | Jeans | Wellies | Bag
Since I love kimono’s, I couldn’t resist adding another one into the mix of outfit ideas I came up with today. This one is a black lace fringe one, and it’s from one of my favourite high street clothing retailers, Quiz. I think this one would look fabulous thrown over the top of a plain black vest and worn with a pair of crisp, white ripped skinny jeans!
While looking for some new boots in Topshop last week, I came across this gorgeous pair of black ankle wellies. These would go perfectly with the rest of the outfit as they just look like a regular pair of on-trend boots, and not like wellies at all! And last but not least, I think a black pin studded cross body bag would finish the whole outfit off just brilliantly.
Crop Top | Dungarees | Jellies | Rucksack | BraceletAs jelly sandals are back in fashion again this year I think these would go perfectly with this outfit, and I would finish it off with a kaleidoscope print rucksack and a gorgeous yellow leather bracelet from Trollbeads. I love it!
And there you have it, 5 outfit ideas that I would most definitely wear this festival season. I’d love to know what you think of them.
If so, let me know in the comments below!

I think it is!! Hehe. I’ve been feeling really inspired with some of the outfits from Coachella. Love the Kimono you’re wearing in your blog post by the way. It’s gorgeous X
Interesting ideas here, but from past experience you don’t want anything with tassels or chains as you can get tangled in a crowd. I’d say keep it simple Adidas Sambas, jeans, plain colour t-shirt, sunglasses (optional) and a good jumper for when it gets cold.
I tend to stay out of the crowds when I go to festivals to be honest, I’m quite small and get lost easily LOL
Loving the second last outfit, so cute! You’re good at putting together outfits!
Aww, thank you so much. I love doing it – I wanted to be a personal shopper when I was younger but it never happened :'( X
I love it! Have a nice day honey!!

I’m in America so we don’t have festivals like that, but I love some of those outfits. I would love that last outfit and that maxi dress would be great for work.

So many cute outfits! I really like the Cream Floral Print Zip Back Playsuit, I’m going to look at that one today. And the shoes oh my!!! On a side note, what program did you use to create this collage board? I used to use Polyvore, but found out they don’t get permission to use all the images and it posed an issue.
Thank you. I use Polyvore as well. I always do a search for the image it won’t let me clip. 9 times out of 10 I can find it somewhere else where it isn’t protected X
