Festival outfits
for women

Festival season means chill vibes, good music, and even better company. Come rain or shine, it’s time to take to the fields and make memories that will last a lifetime.

 

It is also an opportunity to break from the conformity of day-to-day living and let your free spirit shine with a selection of showstopping festival outfits for women. Mesh crop tops or flowing summer dresses, denim shorts or miniskirts, knee-high boots or casual trainers; we might not know what the weather will bring but we know one thing for sure, it’s going to be a real good time.

 

So, it’s time to get ready with a suitcase filled with versatile and innovative festival looks guaranteed to carry you through the long weekend in style.

Women’s festival outfit ideas

From casually relaxing around the campsite to wading through the mud in style and stealing the show at the main stage, these are all the festival looks a woman needs to dress like an all-access-granted headline act.

 

Festival-ready tops for every vibe

  • Get ready with a selection of tops to match the festival vibes from morning until night. From lowkey blouses to comfortable crop tops and high fashion-inspired co-ords, embrace the festival atmosphere with a range of effortlessly stylish looks.
  • T-shirts are perfect for wearing throughout the day or during any relative lulls, be that a basic tee than can be effortlessly paired with some denim shorts and a pair of trainers, or a graphic tee filled with the personality and attitude of your favourite band.
  • Strappy crop tops are also a great option if you’re looking for a relaxed summer-ready look. Everything is on the line-up when it comes to festival outfits for women: keep it cute and simple with a plain cotton tee or go big with a sheer mesh or laced design partnered with confidently styled beachwear.
  • For a look that is ready to party at a moment’s notice, a matching co-ord set will have you looking effortlessly put together and festival-ready long before the next act can take to the stage.

 

 

Stylish bottoms to mix and match

  • From uber-casual sporty wear to glitzy nighttime attire, festival outfits for women offer plenty of potential to create a style that is all your own. As you are likely to be there from sunrise to sunset, you will also want a few versatile bottoms that can be mixed and matched to create a range of looks.
  • Shorts are ideal for keeping it casual and dynamic; for roaming to and from the festival area to relaxing around a campfire and all those moments between. Denim shorts are standard festival clothes for women and can be worn loose, with subtle accents like frayed hems, for a ready-to-go look or with a more form-fitting silhouette as part of a dressier ensemble.
  • Tweed and linen shorts are also great to have and can feel lighter and less restrictive on warmer days.
  • Relaxed-fit mini skirts are also hugely versatile festival wear and can lend a more evening-ready feel while still being comfortable enough to move with the crowd. Go bold with 80s-inspired sequins, tassels and monochromatic finishes, or keep it contemporary with timeless pleats to complement a strappy top or a leather mini skirt to match a pair of knee-high boots.

 

 

Dresses to steal the spotlight

  • Just because you are camping in a field, doesn’t mean you can’t get glitzed up with a signature dress ensemble.
  • Strike a retro and bohemian Woodstock vibe with a floral summer dress. Add some structured form with a skinny waist belt or keep it carefree and flowy, in the iconic festival fashion of women past.
  • Otherwise, cut a more modern look with a flattering mini dress made from net mesh or audaciously sequined in a relaxed fit that will have you dancing the night away while standing out from the crowd.
  • Embrace the freedom a festival atmosphere brings by pairing your dress with a practical pair of trainers or elevate the look with some crowd-halting boots.

 

Jackets to keep you ready for anything

  • Don’t let the weather put a downer on your festival spirits. Prepare for the unexpected with a lightweight jacket capable of standing up to the elements in style.
  • That does not have to mean an unflattering waterproof poncho, thrown over your carefully executed outfit. Instead, look for a jacket that can keep you warm and dry should the weather take a turn, while also complementing your chic festival vibes.
  • Practical jackets that also play well with ladies’ festival outfits include relaxed-fit padded jackets, durable jackets made from genuine leather, and lightweight bomber jackets that can be effortlessly removed and stored once the sun comes out.

 

 

Practical footwear with festival flair

  • As any seasoned festival vet will tell you, the appropriate footwear can make or break the occasion. Looking your glam-best also means preparing for anything and festival footwear needs to be versatile enough to take whatever comes your way in its stride.
  • Boots are classic festival wear for women and serve the dual purpose of being both highly practical and stylish. Knee-high boots with a chunky outsole will have you strutting through the mud looking like a headline act and waterproof PVC or leather materials will keep you dry and enjoying your best life. For a more casual look, on-trend ankle boots deliver that same statement appeal while also being easier to fit in your suitcase.
  • When jumping from the mainstage to the dance tent and back to your campsite, do so in comfort with a pair of versatile trainers. Probably best to avoid all-white shoes or materials prone to water damage like suede or soft fabrics. Seasonal and chrome finishes in leather promise a showstopping entrance while being rugged enough to last well beyond the weekend.

Festival attire for women: Essential accessories

Be ready for anything and take the weekend by storm with the right accessories on hand. From a classic bucket hat to a pair of retro shades, don’t leave home without this collection of must-pack festival attire for women.

 

Sunglasses to top off your look

  • Don’t forget to bring a signature pair of sunnies before heading for the fields. A must-have accessory for keeping the sun from your eyes while catching your favourite acts or hiding your fatigue after another night of dancing until dawn.
  • Go retro with a pair of geometrically shaped shades featuring contrasting lenses and a wide frame or lend a touch of sophistication to your otherwise casual festival clothes with a pair of female designer glasses, complete with polished hardware and in a more contemporary shape.

 

Hats for sun-ready style

  • For long summer days spent chilling around the campsite or crowding the mainstage, keep the sun at bay with some festival-approved headwear.
  • You can’t go far wrong with that ultimate staple of festival looks for women: the classic bucket hat. Worn wide-brimmed for added sun protection and casually paired with an every-day ensemble for an uber-casual look that lets everyone know who the real festival star is.
  • Alternatively, elevate a women's cap beyond the standard athleisurewear fare with a non-conventional corduroy or gloss fabric and signature stripe or embroidered logo detailing. An understated and casual accessory that still signifies you mean business.

 

Bags to keep your essentials handy

  • Leave the handbags, clutches, and totes at home because festival season can only mean one thing: it’s time to break out the bum bag.
  • A practical accompaniment to festival looks for women the world over, the humble belt beg ensures that you always have your essentials close at hand, without having to worry about them falling out of your pocket or getting lost in the crowd.
  • For transporting all your signature festival outfits, a versatile holdall is also a must for women looking to camp in style. Keep all your clothes in one place and ensure you are ready to put together a crowd-pleasing ensemble with time to spare.
