Plenty of music festivals offer an abundance of other attractions as well like dance, performance art, food, merchandise, and even crafts. They really do make for the best summertime activities! And while the captivating rhythms and electric atmosphere set the stage, it’s the unique fashion choices that really allow festival-goers to shine as they revel in the magic of music.

There are outfits with jean shorts and cowboy boots as well as summer dresses and straw hats. Of course, we’ve included comfy sneakers, blousy tops, and lots of other pieces, too.
Just browse below to become the ultimate style star of the festival grounds—we’ve even got some ideas straight from the closets of Alex and Paige Drummond!
Top, Denim Skirt, and Boots
We’re taking major inspo from the Drummond sisters at the Calf Fry music festival in Oklahoma. Lucky for us, it’s simple to put together these looks for any festival you attend this summer. First up is Alex’s country chic ensemble featuring a snazzy crisscross halter tank and the cutest denim skirt. Did we mention that denim skirts are totally back in style? We’re also loving the pop of color that vibrant red gives! Both of these pieces will also keep you from getting too hot as the show goes on. She paired them with sleek black cowboy boots and added a western belt to tie it all together.
Top, Jean Shorts, and Trucker Hat
You can probably recreate Paige’s easygoing festival outfit with items you already have in your closet. A classic black shell tank top atop jean shorts is just the right combination of casual and cute. Bonus: Both of these items are staple pieces, so you’ll be able to use them to put together plenty of other summer outfits, too. Of course, she had to incorporate cowboy boots as well. Plus, we’ve found a similar country trucker hat so you can lean into your inner cowgirl without being too on the nose. This accessory is super popular right now!
Crochet Dress, Wedges, and Straw Hat
The ‘70s trend of crochet clothing is back and better than ever—especially at music festivals! It’s easy to see why, too. They’re perfect for the warmer season with bright and lively colors and a breathable design. You’ll also find that even though they give a dressed-up appearance, they’re super comfortable. This granny square number would definitely have been a hit at Woodstock, so why not bring it out for other events as well? It’s paired here with comfortable wedges, but you could also wear it with your go-to pair of sandals. And don’t forget to accessorize! A wide-brim straw hat adds a breezy finish while also shielding you from all those bright rays.
Flowy Top and Statement Pants
If you really want to channel the whimsical boho vibes of an outdoor show, flared pieces will really add some, well, flair to your look! Go bold with brightly colored statement pants in the fabric of your choice (denim, velvet, knit, plisse, and more) then keep the fun going with a breezy bell-sleeve top. A lacy look will not only keep things airy, but also keeps to your retro theme in the most darling way. Matching sunglasses really make this one! As for footwear, you can go for wedges, sandals, or even summery espadrilles.
Patterned Dress and Sneakers
Although Paige technically wore this outfit on a bachelorette trip, we’re here to tell you that it would work just as well for any of your upcoming shows. In fact, we’ve seen so many similar looks at Coachella. The vibrant pattern is oh-so-groovy! Even better, the knit fabric hugs your body in just the right way and offers just the right amount of stretch so you can dance the night away. Throw on a tried-and-true pair of white sneakers and you’ll really be ready to boogie. We’re also so here for that touch of shimmer brought to you by a gold purse —because you’ll definitely need something cute to keep the essentials in while on festival grounds.
