Fest Aid Kit: Festival Season Essentials

Ready or not, festival season is upon us. Whether you’re staying local or heading out west, April is the unofficial kick-off to music festivals across the country. From cut-offs to wide-brimmed hats, and everything in between, festivals have molded the fashion industry to meet a new standard—bohemian goddess meets rock and roll. If you’ve been to any sort of multi-day concert, you know that it’s a fashion force to be reckoned with, all while dressing comfortable enough to withstand the heat of a 12-hour, jam-packed day.

So before you pack your bags for Coachella, here are a handful of our must-have, festival essentials—a “fest aid” kit, if you will.

MINKPINK Seventies Splash Mini Dress

Easy, breezy and straight from the seventies, the MINKPINK Seventies Splash Mini Dress is perfect for frolicking around any music festival. Pair this mini with your favorite pair of tennis shoes, vintage sunnies, and a denim jacket for an effortless, I’m-with-the-band kind of look.

Somedays Lovin Sun Sway Crochet Bikini Top

Wear it with your favorite bikini bottoms at the pool, or pair it with high-waisted cut-offs and a body chain at the fairgrounds, either way you can't go wrong. The Somedays Lovin Sun Sway Crochet Bikini Top is equal parts comfy and cute for long days in the sun. 

Tavik Sutton Off-the-Shoulder Romper

Get yourself an outfit that does both; hot afternoons sitting on the lawn and cool nights in the crowd. The bohemian print of the Tavik Sutton Off-the-Shoulder Romper, worn with booties, is our go-to look for running between the stage and food trucks. Throw on a leather jacket when the sun goes down and you’re ready to rock (literally).

Beyond Coastal Natural Lip & Face Screen SPF 31

Since you want to pack as light as possible, we love the Beyond Coastal Natural Lip & Face Screen. It's a two-in-one sunscreen to keep your lips hydrated and your face protected, plus it's small enough to tuck in to your bag on festival day! Did we mention it's all-natural? Score!

Bikini Lab Shell Yeah Cover Up Tunic Dress

Feelin' free? The Bikini Lab Shell Yeah Cover Up is great if you're going straight from pool party to headliner, as we suspect some of you will. We suggest wearing it over a one piece swimsuit, with some fun sandals, and your best festival-inspired jewels. It's quick, it's easy and it's hippie-chic. Win, win, win.

Roxy Women's Dulce Boot

These boots were made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do. The Roxy Dulce Boot will kick any outfit up a notch! 

Rhythm Coastal Hat

Top off your festival fashion and shade your face from the beaming rays with the Rhythm Coastal Hat. It's no secret that dancing around the desert gets hot, so having a hat in tow is absolutely necessary if you're headed to Coachella. 

Billabong Don't Mind Maxi Dress

Keep it casually-chic in the Billabong Don't Mind Maxi Dress. This print is seriously tie-dye for, and the maxi is flowy, cool and every bohemian babe's dream-- which is kind of perfect for any given music festival. Don't mind if we do!

CamelBak Chute 40 oz. Vacuum Insulated Stainless Water Bottle

Fashion aside, hydration is key. The CamelBack Chute Insulated Stainless Bottle keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours and warm for 6 hours, which is ideal for keeping water with you all day long.

Dakine Women's Gigi Hip Pack

Hands free is the only way to be! We love the idea of a fanny pack for carrying all of your essentials, like a cell phone, lipstick, sunscreen, money and your ID. The Dakine Women's Gigi Hip Pack and cute and practical, a total win in our book.
