Every Day Festival Fashion
So, you missed Coachella and Bonnaroo. Never fear! With a little fashion savvy and beauty know-how you can bring fabulous bohemian looks to your summer look.
Here are some great ways to wear festival fashion every day:
Braids
Braids are the perfect summer hairstyle. Whether up in a crown, or long and loose, a braid is a great way to look on trend when the weather has other ideas. To add a little festival style, weave in a strand of beads. For a little business polish, twirl your braid into an easy bun and add a headband.
Fringe
Fringe is like salt – A little bit adds a lot of flavor! For every day looks, fringe is a great accessory. Try a fringed handbag, sandal, or a fringed necklace for a great hippie vibe. For a super-chic look, add a fringed kimono to your summer wardrobe.
Lace
Lace is tricky. It can be too prim, or it can look like the 80’s exploded all over you. For a festival fashion look, use lace in unexpected ways. Pair it with denim, or use it to trim a t-shirt. For a more subdued look, try a lace headband. Just remember, keep it gossamer and flowing – not starched or stretchy!
Headscarves
Headscarves are quick way to evoke an easy 70’s glamour. They also hide a multitude of hair sins. Use a colorful headscarf to tie up a messy bun on a hot – Saturday morning, or tie on a dramatic, drapey bow for a dressy look when you’ve had too much beach and too little time.
Flowers
In a perfect world, we could all wear garlands of flowers in our hair and pretend to be Queen of the Fairies. Unfortunately, some of us mere mortals have a dress code. We don’t have to give up our dreams of ruling the glen with our magical ways; we just have to tone it down for work or school. If you aren’t going full on bohemian, floral hair accessories can go bridesmaid real fast. Try a pair of floral –themed earrings. A low, deconstructed, middle parted bun with a pair of large floral earrings is so on-trend and chic, you will cast a spell.
Flash Tattoos
To make metallic body artwork for every day life, you have to resist the desire to decorate every inch of your body (it’s hard…I know). A flash tattoo bracelet could be an unexpected, yet appropriate way to let the world know that you like Hozier. Of course, if you want the feel of flash tattoo, along with a little glam, try some gold liquid eyeliner.
You don’t have to revamp your wardrobe with every new season or fashion trend. By adding a few new accessories, styling your hair differently, trying a new makeup technique, or using clothing items you already own in new ways, you can be “ of the moment.” Let your uniqueness and creativity shine through, and you will always be in style!
