Festival Fashion: 7 Effortless ways to style yourself for your favourite gigs & concerts

1/7
Double Denim
When all else fails, embrace double denim. It's a style philosophy we hold dear to our hearts: putting together two (or more) pieces of denim makes anyone looks immediately that more stylish. Opt for different denim tones for an extra bold look!

Fedoras are a highly practical style choice for a hot day under the sun and adds instant fashion cred, no matter what you're wearing.

Fringe, Fringe, Fringe
We love fringe, but only opt to have just ONE fringe clothing item in your outfit. Fringe is a classic festival staple, but too much of it can look tacky.

Raincoat
Raincoats may not the most stylish piece of attire, but ladies, it's Singapore after all! Fret not; there are actually streetstyle-worthy versions of raincoats you can opt for. And yes, once a fashion faux pas, it has evolved to actually look pretty cool in recent years.

Bandana
These bad boys are not only inexpensive, they literally make everything look cooler too. There are various ways to experiment with the bandana: wrap them around your neck, use them as a headband or tie them around your waist as a belt.

Multi-layered Necklaces
Start with the choker, and work your way down, making every necklace fall at a different length. This can make any basic outfit look truly festival-esque.

Braids
Super practical for a hot day, easy and so cute! Go for braiding your hair to add some boho vibes to your look without even having to think about clothes.

It's official: festival season is upon us, with St Jerome’s Laneway Festival just around the corner.

In recent years, we can't deny that music has had to take a sidestep when it comes to festivals, to make way for another highly important element: its fashion.

Festival fashion has ruled festival-related headlines for years, with events like Coachella being world renowned for eccentric and iconic looks. The festival fashion contagion spread from there to other music gigs around the globe - and it certainly is no different over here in Asia.

While head-to-toe glitter, bindis, skimpy clothing and other trends have become ever-present at these music gigs, they're not always the most practical, age-appropriate (particularly for us ladies past our mid-twenties), or culturally conscious of outfit choices.

As such, we have collected 7 super cool, easy fashion essentials that turn every simple outfit into an effortlessly stylish festival-worthy outfit. Browse them above!
