2 MIN READ - Pick up all the essentials before you head out to festivals this summer. Whether you’re hitting up Lollapalooza or Chicago In Tune events featuring gospel, jazz, house, and blues, you need to look your best and be prepared to sweat! Shop for festival-ready attire, grab some shades and hats to block the sun, get some practical shoes for walking around all day and pack it all up in a new bag. Festivals are back in the Chicago Loop this summer and you look hot.
You’ll need to start with the basics. Sharing is caring (especially at music festivals), so pack a couple of extras for new and old friends.
Shop Men’s and Women’s Festival Wear
Grab festival essentials
Pick up festival essentials at Target. Get sunscreen and a water bottle to stay cool in the sun. Get a backpack cooler for a picnic and drinks. On your way, grab snacks and beverages from CVS Pharmacy to stay hydrated and nourished in the scorching summer temps.
Cover your face
Bandanas and face masks are good for more than just stopping the spread of germs. With dust and sand flying through the air, stay safe and stylish with various face coverings. Shop Urban Outfitters for trendy accessories to mix-and-match with your ‘fit.
Find the Perfect Sundress or romper
For an airy feel on a hot festival day, shop sundresses. For an even more laid back look, grab a romper. Head to Target for your “in” looks that won’t hurt the pocket; stop in Urban Outfitters for hot styles that are comfy Americana vibes; Anthropologie is for the free-spirit that wants to twirl through every festival, and Zara is for the international fashion ~lewk~ meant to wow the crowd.
Make it easy breezy with tee and shorts.
Go for the classic summer look on a warm day. Find your newest and trendiest looks at Anthropologie, and your classics or what’s currently en vogue at Macys or Nordstrom Rack.
Stay shady with new sunglasses
Protect your eyes from dust, flying debris, and the burning UV rays with cool and practical sunglasses. Nordstrom Rack will have the latest trends and styles for any face shape, Target is sure to have you covered when someone accidentally steps on your shades during an epic dance break and Urban Outfitters will keep you looking fresh.
Add additional protection
Shield your face and head from the sun with stylish sun hats to go with any look. Go to Lids for the athletic fashion hats to rep your favorite city or team (Go Bulls, Bears, White Sox AND Cubs!), Zara or Anthropologie for stylish bucket hats, baseball caps or beanies to protect the ‘do, and Urban Outfitters or Nordstrom Rack if you want to try on a little bit of everything before deciding.
Pack light
Secure all of your festival essentials in one place with a lightweight fanny pack, crossbody, backpack or satchel. Shop Zara and Francesca’s for contemporary carriers, and Urban Outfitters or Nordstrom Rack for anything to help hold all the things one will without a doubt accumulate throughout the day.
Tread lightly
Get functional yet trendy shoes for walking around all day at a festival and #BackInTheLoop. Look at Zara, the leader in fast fashion apparel for those that want to keep up with the cool Gen Zers, Urban Outfitters and Journey’s for sporty and practical footwear, and Macy’s and Nordstrom Rack for durable sneakers or sandals to work with any look.
