Like Kendall, Gigi, flaunt these rocking looks at music festivals this year

Music festivals have become a space for those who love to dress up. We get experts help to create stylish looks that you can flaunt this season.

Singer Rita Ora was once quoted as saying, “I love how music and fashion are so similar. We need each other.” Indeed, music festivals have become a platform for those who love to dress up to show off their sense of fashion.

“Taking cues from the Kardashian sisters and Hadid siblings, pieces such as bodysuits, quirky slogan tees, and denim jackets with fun patchwork can be termed as the ‘hot’ looks of the season. Everyone aims to carry off a stylish look. Flaunting styles and standing out on social media is the norm of the day,” says stylist Archana Walavalkar.

Dare to be different: Experiment with your outfits this festive season

Music festival essentials — slip dresses with thigh-high boots, oversized denim bomber jackets, chunky belts, chokers (made with fabrics and metal) and hair accessories — are elements that contribute to an uber-cool look.

“Every year, we see unique ways of styling at concerts. I think music festivals are a way to flaunt our personalities through our styles in the most exaggerated way, without any judgment,” says fashion designer Vedika Mehr.

A statement outerwear paired with ripped denims, fringe tops, stacked jewellery and chunky booties can make up a typical music festival outfit.

“Of all the looks that graced the Coachella music festival this year, Taylor Swift’s simple gray T-shirt and black cut-out denim miniskirt may just have been the coolest,” says fashion designer Parul J Maurya. So, here are some stylish options you can try out at upcoming music events.
