At the moment, in the world of casual fashion you will find an abundance of festival gear getting us ready for a long Aussie summer of great gigs. Walk into Glue Store or General Pants and see torn shorts, animal print tops and dresses and studs, denim and leather everywhere. Or better yet, hop online while procrastinating at work and ponder over which Vans or cowboy boots are going to see you through the weekend the best.
Whether you"re hitting up Harvest Festival, Falls, Field Day or are even lucky enough to be venturing overseas to Coachella or Glastonbury next year, you will find yourself pondering what to wear, especially to the events which last several days. Many of the festivals also involve camping, so comfort is a must, especially when showers and mirrors are scarce. Luckily, festival fashion is built for both style and comfort, which is why it"s such an easy trend to master. It"s something you want to wear, as you will be standing (or running or jumping), in rain, hair or shine, for hours on end.
Lets start with the essentials. You MUST invest in a pair of denim shorts, such as these Dukes by One Teaspoon. Then you can pretty much throw on any top, but this summer make sure you look for unique fabrics such as this silk one by Millie Loves Min, or a soft cotton tie die singlet like the Subtitled one from General Pants. Find an old pair of sneakers if it"s going to be muddy, or invest in a pair of Vans or Converse, which you will have forever (investment!!). Statement pieces such as this vest by Millie Loves Min or jewellery by Low Luv will perfect any outfit.
Bodysuits were all the rage last summer, but they have been taken to a new level this spring, with life-like digital prints and totally unique designs. High-end designer We Are Handsome We Are Handsome has perfected this technique seen in their swimwear range for Spring 2012. For a more affordable alternative, try Bambam"s Eye of the Tiger bodysuit. Just pop your denim shorts on over the top and you"re good to go!
