Flannels are a popular choice because they’re great for layering. You can easily pair them with your favorite jeans, leggings or dress, and complete the look with accessories like boots, jewelry and hats.

Music festivals are also the perfect time to wear flashy and vibrant apparel. Neon colors, sparkles, lights and anything eccentric will make you stand out in the crowd.
