Find your inner fashionista at ACL

Get ready to strut on the festival grounds.

ACL is just as much a fashion show as it is a festival.

With ACL fast approaching, it’s time to look through our closets + scout out the mall for the perfect concert fit.

Take concert season as an opportunity to showcase your unique style. Use this guide of recent music festival fashion trends to help plan out your Insta-worthy look.

  • Crochet everything | From tops to bottoms (and even bucket hats), crochet pieces are a festival crowd favorite.
  • 70s disco | There hasn’t been a better time to unleash your inner disco-queen. Think: flared pants, loose sleeves + earth tones.
  • 21st century cowboy | As Austinites, we’ve always embraced the cowboy look — now it’s time to go all out with cowboy hats, leather boots, and vaquero fringe.
  • Make it colorful | No matter what you wear, remember to make it colorful. Dare to be bold, try going monochrome, and don’t be intimidated to try colors outside of your comfort zone.

Pssst... stay tuned for a full guide to ACL Fest on Friday.
