Weekend Wear: Here’s How to Get Mistaken for a Soulful Singer-Songwriter at a Music Festival
Here’s a summertime prediction: you will, some weekend soon, attend a music festival. This might be on your own accord or merely to appease your significant other, but the goal at said festival will remain the same in either scenario — to look as relaxed, nonchalant and inherently cool as physically possible. Luckily for you, we’ve culled together the perfect look to help you do just that.
1. J.Crew Irish Linen Band-Collar Shirt, $105
Linen, that wrinkle-prone summer staple, is always welcome at any casual event. Here, it’s been rendered as a simple short-sleeve button-down shirt that will keep you feeling cool and looking stylish.
2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cotton Belted Pleated Trousers, $640
The wide-legged revolution continues. These breathable cotton trousers take a classic pinstripe and scale it up to a more playful size, the perfect way to push the line without crossing it.
3. Ray-Ban Round Lens Sunglasses, $255
Glasses that would make John Lennon proud. These retro-inspired frames will give you that desired ’60s flair.
4. Topman Cotton Red Tiger-Printed Bandana, $10
Where would your festival-inspired look be without a bandana in a throwback print? This one has an eccentric tiger-and-palm-leaf motif that’ll serve as a great conversation starter between sets.
5. ASOS Leather Backpack, $135
As practical as it is handsome, this bag pairs a classic drawstring-and-buckle closure with a slim, refined shape.
6. Kenneth Cole Leather Sandals, $160
Sandals, my man. It’s time to give ’em another shot. This fisherman-caged pair is a comfortable alternative to sweating it out in sneakers.
