Quick shopping fix: Festival Fashion – on the beach
Rocking out to an OTM band while the sun sets and the surf crashes – what could scream summer more than a beachside festival á la southern Spain’s Benicàssim or (closer to home and possibly less warm) ATP in Minehead?
But what to wear? We recommend starting with a statement swimsuit or bikini and take it from there. Clash animal and graphic prints, and keep fabrics lightweight and sheer for a rock-and-roll vibe without the mosh-pit feel. For evening pull on loose-fitting harems – still a perfect option for the beach – or a strapless playsuit to dance the night away.
And don’t forget to pack a hat and pair of Havaianas !
Read on to see our pick of beachside festival fashion essentials.
