If you live in NYC or spent any amount of time on Instagram this weekend, you're probably aware that Afropunk descended upon Brooklyn for its annual two-day music festival.

To showcase it, we're rounding up the coolest looks we spotted at the festival, and they all speak for themselves. Prepare to see one-of-a-kind DIY pieces, eye-catching color palettes, and an emerging trend that's officially festival style approved: sheer. Scroll down to fill up on inspiration.
