Fact: Summer music festivals are about so much more than just music. Evidence: Coachella begins in just a few days, but all anyone is talking about is what they’re wearing to the big event. Yup — festival hair, makeup, and fashion practically overshadowing the bands on the big stage.
Since there are all kinds of summer festivals, it should come as no surprise that each has its own individual vibe and style. Let’s face it, while one fest’s “unofficial” dress code may require neon face paint and platform combat boots, another festival’s attendees may look at you crossed-eyed if you show up in anything but worn out jeans and a tee.
