Trendy Outfit Ideas For Raves

Festival fashion trends are ever-changing - they used to be handmade tie-dyed and crochet tops and flower crowns. The times of the bohemian and hipster vibes have turned to electric, versatile, bold, and fiery. 

It is not to say that there was no variety back in the day - but people seem to be embracing their fearlessness, creativity, and expression a bit more. And while rave fashion has its trends and themes, do not forget to alter it to your liking - because after all, it is you who gets to decide what you get to wear on your body.

First and foremost, you must keep the weather in mind. What will the weather potentially be like at the time of the festival? Dry, humid, wet, rainy, cold, etc.?

Not Too Far from Coachella

We are not too far off from festival fashion season.

We're about a month out from the most instagrammed music festival in the world, so it's time to start shopping!  What will be the Coachella trends this year?  Below are some ideas for your consideration.

Think Goldie When Hitting The Road

Are you hitting the road and heading off to the next music festival?  Some people call them music festivals, but we prefer to call them the "fashion festivals".  Although music is a huge part, the way people dress really kicks off the vibe.  Coachella and other events are a trendy display for sure.

Clothing for festivals is a category of interest this summer.  Where do you shop for your trendy and comfortable clothing?  If you haven't already done so, we suggest you visit the Goldie site to browse for festival fashion.

Goldie embodies true London style.  A combination of flirty vintage inspired dresses, sheer tops, and chunky knitwear are teamed effortlessly with timeless silhouettes, which keeps each collection fresh, unique and super-wearable.  That makes it perfect for the various international festivals taking place this summer.

The season of festivals is almost upon us.  As the weather warms around the country, the thoughts of music and fashion begins a re-birth of inspiration.  The 1960's and the hippie fashion of that era has faded, but has never truly past. Modern day festivals still have a relaxed fashion flare.

Coachella Cool Crochet

From lace up bodysuits to ruffled off the shoulder blouses, there’s no escaping the seventies fashion synonymous with Coachella. Kendall Jenner made a splash with her lace and crochet dress. 

And we couldn’t get enough of Alessandra Ambrosio’s white crochet cover-up. 

Taking a cue from the Coachella crochet trendsetters, Lybethras Brazilian Swimwear (LBS) has packed their summer collection with gorgeous handmade crochet swimsuits and cover-ups. 
LBS’s summer collection perfectly marries seventies glam with exotic Brazilian style. Whether you are jet setting to Coachella or laying out at your neighborhood pool, LBS offers everything from cute cover-ups to sexy crochet cut outs. We particularly love Julia Pereira’s Irina Lily crochet bikini, which can be worn as a traditional bikini top or paired with your favorite lace sundress.

Not only is each bikini handmade in Brazil, but Lybethras’ owner and designer, Luciana Martinez, has paired up with non profit Brazilian organization Servi to provide every crochet detail found on each bikini. The organization provides low-income expectant mothers with the skills to become financially independent, creating a sustainable micro-economy for those most in need.


Ranging from $170 to $340, every piece is sold separately, to let you create your ideal look.  Go to Lybethras.com to check out more of Lybethras’s Brazilian bikinis. 

Bella Thorne at Coachella

Bella Thorne was photographed wearing ban.do and Kendra Scott over the weekend at Coachella in Indio, CA. The actress wore ban.do's #girlspopupshop Gold Lamé Fanny Pack ($34; www.bando.com) as she made way her way through the festival and accessorized her wild style with Kendra Scott's Elisa Silver Pendant Necklace in Platinum Drusy during the Revolve Desert House event ($65, www.kendrascott.com).

Not really possible to look better at a festival...

Learn more about Kendra Scott jewelry.

We vote Bella Thorne "fashionista of the year".  Or at the very least, the best dressed at Coachella.  Bohemian chic is an understatement.
