18 Fashion Dos And Don’ts For Summer Music Festivals
Photos from this weekend’s Lollapalooza serve as further proof that we need to retire plastic neon sunglasses. Has no one learned their lesson?
1. DON’T: Wear designer bags and shoes just because you can.
This Chanel bag and these Chloé shoes together cost a few thousand bucks. Probably not a wise choice for a packed, muddy outdoor concert.
2. DO: Make a fashion statement with a dress that’s actually cool.
Thank you, Florence Welch.
3. DON’T: Take boring group shots.
If you’re going to corral a group of rowdy revelers avoid the boring staring-at-the-camera posing at all costs. There’s no point clogging up the social media channels with this nonsense — enough exist out there already and they stopped giving everyone NOT in the shot FOMO about ten years ago.
4. DO: Take a photo with this guy.
Of all the photos you show your grandchildren of your youth, this is the one they’ll actually remember.
5. DON’T: Wear t-shirts with cliche references to drugs and alcohol.
Drugs. You took them. We get it.
Even if the substances aren’t illicit, there’s no need to broadcast how you plan to end up at the end of the day.
DO: Drink water!
In the likely event you consume alcohol, H20 is always a good chaser. It’s 100 degrees out. No one wants you to collapse.
6. DON’T: Wear cheap, cheesy neon sunglasses.
May they live and die at frat parties.
9. DO: Wear a bra as a top if it’s part of a stylized, athletic 80s statement outfit.
13. DO: Stick a grilled cheese on a stick in your mouth.
Festival food > pieces of plastic used to quiet crying babies
14. DON’T: Wear a hat that says “SWAG”
You’re not Justin Bieber’s Twitter feed so just stop.
15. DO: Wear a hat that is a stuffed animal octopus.
Which is at least ten times more creative than SWAG.
16. DON’T: Get muddy just to show how down with summer festivals you are.
18. DO: Wear a full horse head.
If you’re going to go there, give it 110 percent, you know?

is this real? what ridiculous judgemental garbage! ragging on neon sunglasses but praising “awesome” kids mohawks? ragging on high-end designer clothing and accessories, but then ragging on the neon sunglasses being “cheap”? how about those “stylish” oversized sunglasses? how much are they supposed to cost? clearly its not okay if they’re cheap but its also not okay if they’re designer. and, to throw a personal opinion in, oversized shades make people look like insects. they conjure up images of paris hilton and nicole ritchie types. barf. and god forbid i want to assemble the group of friends i came with to take a picture! what kind of miserable negative person would have a problem with friends wanting to capture a fun memory? i could go on and on about these! what an awful article. it’s pretty hard to not gather the assumption that the author is a bitter, neurotic b*tch. summer music festivals are for enjoying MUSIC and having FUN - the kind of bullshit this article is peddling is so unnecessary and unwelcome. i hope the author enjoys all the frown lines she develops in her coming years.

juliab17 9 months agoYou should really think about their feelings before posting random people’s pictures. Life is about self expression and being yourself. Music festivals are about having fun, which is what these people where doing! Obviously you have never had fun with friends. FIZZYFAMILY<3
