Music Festival Outfits: A Style Guide for Festival Vibes

Grunge isn’t just back — it's been reimagined with luxury craftsmanship. The rock-inspired look taps into textures, leather, bold graphics, and effortlessly cool layering. Studded denim jackets, embellished biker boots, and graphic tees feel custom-built for the rebel heart. Meanwhile, Alexander McQueen continues to champion punk influences with a couture sensibility.

Style ripped shorts with a vintage-inspired D&G tee, toughened up with an embellished leather jacket and heavy-duty boots. Layer silver chains, throw on a crossbody bag, and top it all off with round-frame sunglasses.

Not all festival looks need to be loud to be powerful. Minimalist styling is carving a quiet — but no less striking — niche. Jacquemus' sun-soaked simplicity leads this movement, offering slinky linen dresses, crisp tailoring, and fuss-free separates in earthy neutrals and soft pastels. It's a softer take on festival dressing — refreshing amidst a sea of maximalism.

Slip into a Jacquemus white shirt dress, cinch it with a wide belt, and add sleek sandals or pristine sneakers. Accessorise minimally: one bold cuff, oversized hoops, and clean sunglasses.

When in doubt, more is more. Maximalism — unapologetically loud, bright, and joyful — is a festival fashion mainstay. Dolce & Gabbana’s Sicilian florals, kaleidoscopic prints, and ornate textures set the perfect tone. Alice + Olivia's rich mix of textiles and colours also fuels the maximalist dream, offering endless possibilities to clash, coordinate, and stand out.

Mix florals with stripes, pair embroidery with sequins, or layer multiple printed scarves over a bold maxi dress. Finish with embellished boots or chunky flatforms and statement sunglasses.
