Festival season has been rapidly evolving––peering back to 2022 and 2023, high-shine and sheer looks dominated while 2024 had a more relaxed undertone. Looking to the year ahead, this urges us to finish the balance of the two. Currently, we’re seeing conversations around festival culture nostalgia become a hot topic and we’re confident those conversations with turn into concrete looks come 2025. Below, discover the top 3 aesthetics and key trends for next year's festival season.
BACK TO BOHO
This year, the hottest conversation didn’t surround the items worn to festivals, but the looks and key items of Coachella’s past. Online festival-goers and on-lookers swooned for the days of flower crowns and fringe crop-tops––all of which feel undeniably bohemian. With the boho chic aesthetic rising on the runways, we can safely bet this will be back in a big way come 2025.
BIT OF GRIT
While many festivals are known for hot summer days, desert or forest nights can reach lower temps––so far in 2024, we’re seeing leather become a popular choice for nighttime sets. For daytime, this gritty sense of dressing is showing up through leather shorts making a comeback, moto and cowboy boots, as well as graphics on baby tees and tanks.
JUST ANOTHER DAY
For many festival goers, the biggest statement is not making one––attempting to prove you’re actually there for the music and not just another girl looking for a picture in front of a ferris wheel... nonetheless, the more minimal approach is certainly practical and has its benefit. With that being said, festivals are still an occasion and bringing in other utility-driven elements (think athleisure or jerseys) is a smart strategy.
