As a self-diagnosed good-time gal, I hate when fun occasions are muddied by the pressure of what to wear. Whether it’s a wedding, a vacation, or perhaps a music festival, your focus should be on enjoying yourself and living in the moment—not stressing over whether you picked the right ensemble. To help cut through a bit of that noise, I’ve rounded up five failsafe outfit formulas to lean on this festival season.
A Minidress and Wellies
If there’s one thing Kate Moss taught us, it’s the power of a minidress. And if there’s another thing she taught us, it’s that effortless festival dressing is the best kind of festival dressing.

Bora Linen Halter Dress
Hunter Original Tall Boot
Banana Republic
Tie Bandana

Oversized Aviator Sunglasses
Monochrome
You really can’t go wrong with a plain white tee and just about any bottom. If festival style tends to be too boho for your liking, I’d recommend trying a pair of tailored Bermuda shorts.

A Layered Tee
You could pair a funky graphic tee with a lace-trimmed skirt, but I’d suggest layering with a minidress, in case you need to take off the tee. This would be really cute with a sporty shirt or cropped jersey, too.

Capris and a Halter
In case you want to lean into this season’s ’90s nostalgia, there’s no better combination than a halter, capris, and wedges. Play with color and prints or go for classic all-black—just don’t forget the accessories.

For hotter destinations, don’t be afraid to break out your swimwear. I’ve been especially into Pucci lately, thanks to Hailey Bieber.
