It’s been a minute (or two Very It has been a long time since festival fashion trends were discussed. Festival season is slowly but surely returning, and then suddenly. It feels a little like falling in love, there’s so much anticipation and emotion—then you suddenly find yourself a few days out from the date with nothing to wear. However, It’s a bit like looking at a blank page while searching for 2022 music festivals.
My Pinterest board and Instagram saved folders don’t have any photos of actual festival-goers since 2019 (remember the pre-era??) It feels like inspiration is being pulled from thin air. Fortunately, or unfortunately honestly, we’re all in the same boat here which can only mean one thing: anything goes for festival fashion this year.
I’m talking minimalist denim, maximalist feathers, your boyfriend’s rugby shirt and completely sheer ensembles. My anything goes prediction doesn’t come without lots of research to substantiate it. I searched through thousands of street-style photos and cross-referenced the biggest trends with Revolve’s site (nerd alert!). While I’m a firm believer that you can pretty much wear whatever your heart desires and make the best-dressed list, I’ve rounded up my predictions for the 10 biggest festival trends for 2022 to serve as inspiration.

Knit bucket hats have been a major trend after Bella Hadid (Hailey Bieber), Dua Lipa and others wore them on vacations. This is a trendy way to get shade in the intense festival sun. You can match it with a knit or fun sunglasses to complete your look.

The maxi cut out dress was made to show off a little skin. The oblique cut outs are super flattering and instantly create an hourglass shape so there’s no need to worry about a bad photo angle in this dress. This dress style is usually created with a light weight knit or stretchy mesh fabric so you’ll look hot without feeling too hot. Pair with a simple shoulder bag and statement earrings, and you’re ready to go.

They are very popular and can be worn in any style. If you’re headed to a country music festival, go for a vintage western look. If you’re headed to a rock or rap concert, go for some oversized grunge. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different washes and colors. A denim set is great for everyday wear after festival season.

Cropped Denim Jacket
Honor the evolution of the crop top (every Tumblr girl’s festival inspiration back in the day) and wear this cropped denim jacket. Pair it with the matching mini skirt.

Pedal pusheres are high up on my festival trend prediction lists. The style has a mix of ’70s retro and Y2K vibes which screams music festival to me. It’s also the perfect alternative to wearing full length pants (which can seem a little formal for a festival) or a skirt. You can find cool patterns at your local vintage shops, such as the one pictured above. Have some fun mixing and matching.

Although sheer dresses are stylish and trendy, it can be difficult to find the right occasion to wear them. I’m here to officially tell you that a music festival is the occasion. Sheer dresses come in short, long, patterned, bright and neutral combinations so there’s no reason not to make them one of your many festival looks.
Kim Shui.
Multi Tie Mesh Dress
This mesh Kim Shui dress with crystal floral detailing is exactly what you should wear if you’re attempting to break the internet (in a good way). You’ll look back on this dress as the main event for years to come.

Festival fashion used to be all about maximalism, but in the past, it was easy to stand out by playing it simple. A pair of baggy jeans and a simple t-shirt will make you look effortlessly cool. For warmth in the winter, add a bomber jacket.

Knit sets can be described as easy, breezy, and beautiful. If comfort is at the top of your festival priority list, you can’t go wrong with a matching lightweight knit set. They come in many styles, including bra sets, jumpsuits, and cropped sweaters. These are great for pre-festival activities such as pool parties, snack runs, and golf cart rides.

There’s something that looks so cool about very causal pieces (like a rugby shirt) being paired with elevated accessories (like a metallic Bottega Veneta bag). You can wear a fun rugby shirt and shorts with a mini skirt or a midi skirt. Then, add some flair to the outfit with futuristic sunglasses, colorful shoes and bedazzled bags.

Feather trim was everywhere during fashion week and I predict the look will fly with the festival fashion crowd as well. Feathers can be part of the entire look or used in trim and accessories.
