It’s that time of year again. Fashion girls from coast to coast are busy pinning and prepping their warm-weather wardrobes ahead of festival season’s kickoff event. And whether you’re a first-timer or a festival pro, the objective remains the same: crafting standout looks that are as cool as they are functional.
So, how does the fashion set determine what they're going to pack for their weekend away? For starters, it's all about what kind of festival they'll be attending. For example, a festival in the desert practically requires denim, while one in a city reasonably asks for some leather thrown in the mix. To help you prep for whatever you’ve got penciled into your calendar—and help you avoid all those festival-dressing clichés—we’ve rounded up a packing list featuring some of our favorite pieces from Hudson.
Are you mentally packing your bags? Here's exactly what you need to find room for (flower crowns not included).
Desert Festivals
Prediction: Embellished denim will be all over the desert this year, with fashion girls taking a more strategic and polished approach to their festival outfits. Embroidery and patchwork are foolproof shortcuts to off-duty cool.
City Festivals
You know, festival season doesn’t only mean a weekend in the desert. If you’re sticking around the city, take an athleisure-influenced approach to your look. We’re feeling a cropped hoodie paired with your favorite high-waist kick flares.
Cold-Weather Festivals
If you’re traveling abroad for your festival of choice, or perhaps heading to a city like San Francisco where sunny weather isn't reliable, don't forget to pack a stylish third piece. Our pick? This pink bomber which is perfect for light layering, and looks just as good tied around your waist by day as it does over your shoulders at night.
