2024 Festival Fashion Guide

By in Festivals

Ladies, as that huge music festival arrives in town this weekend, you may be wondering what you should wear this year because you know how important it is to be in style. People kept asking whether we’re going to do another Fashion Update article, after all, no one goes to more clubs than us! So for your safety and convenience, Orlando Entertainment News has gone through thousands of pictures from recent festivals and put together this handy expert guide of DO‘s and DON’T‘s of festival fashion. This is a joke so no flack please. Also, please note that this is unofficial information.

^ DO: Skimpy is good. It’s going to be in the mid-80’s (30C°) out there again this year so stay cooler!
DO: Colorful is good. Don’t be a wallflower.
DO: Low Rise or High Rise, short shorts are always a welcome addition to any festival.
DO: Crop tops and booty shorts were big at recent music festivals.
DO: If you got it, flaunt it. Halter tops are bigger than ever!
DO: Or skip the top altogether!
DO: However, if you’re a bit more modest, see-through is a reasonable compromise.
DO: Straps and straddles have been big for awhile now.
DO: Pleated mini-skirts and mini-skorts have exploded in the clubs and at the festivals.
DO: Tu-tu’s remain a popular choice, year after year.
DO: Costumes. We’ve seen exponential growth in the wearing of costumes versus just wearing boring regular clothes. After all, you’re not going to the mall, you’re going to a music festival!
DO: Matching outfits within your krewe are increasingly popular too.
DO: But if you don’t have a krewe, even couples can match.
DO: Lots of silver metallic the last few years! Metallic remains a huge trend this year.
DO: The Full Moon look. We’ve previously reported on the assless chaps trend but we’ve not seen that anymore.
No waxing or waning crescents anymore. Now it’s the full moon. Orlando Entertainment News fully supports this trend.
DO: Fans remain a top accessory to bring to the show. The clacking is fuckin’ annoying so please clack responsibly.
DO: Sunglasses at night remain a top accessory choice. What a great way to show off how cool you are.
DO: Glitter and Face Jewelry. Bring with you from home or at some festivals, they even offer a free beauty bar with a makeup artist.
DO: Hair Braids. Use contrasting colors. Very popular the last few years.
DO: Boots. Ankle boots & knee boots, especially Doc Martens.
DO: Platform boots. They’re a great choice to allow you to see the DJ over the crowd standing in front of you.
DO: Platform sneakers/trainers too!
DO: Mis-matched shoes as well.
DO: If you’re pregnant, show off your baby! We’ve seen this a few times now.
DO: Micro mini skirts. Yes, please. DON’T: Fluffies. This might be the last year they’re on our don’t list though because with 90’s fashion back in style, we’ve actually been seeing a few fluffies out there again. We’ll soon know if they’re actually back again.
DON’T: Onsies. Yes, they’re cute and you’ll see some of these in use for sure but with hot temps this weekend, we can’t recommend them and you’ll be miserable. And those downwind from you will be miserable.
DON’T: Heels. Most of the festival grounds are not paved and you’ll be in pain trying to walk around.
DON’T: Crocs. We really shouldn’t have to explain this. Just don’t.
DON’T: Lastly, horizontal stripes. They can tend to make you look fat.

If you see me at EDC, please yell to get my attention so I can get your photo. I’m usually oblivious!
