Festival season is perfect to genuinely show your true colours and let your personality shine through.

Footwear

To kick things off, complete your festival look from your head all the way down to your toes with a pair of combat boots. Versatility comes to ease with these fresh kicks when searching for a way to spice up your look. Complement your combat boots with a dress, pants, shorts or anything that comes to mind, these boots will not fail to add an edge to your attire. If you are looking for something more suitable for the Canadian summer weather, slides are an exceptional choice. This easy slip-on shoe comes in many different styles to suit your mood, whether you are going for the double leather straps for a stylish festival look, or the single strap for a more chilled athleisure look, slides have got you covered. Are you looking for the height without the discomfort? Save your

This fun fashion craze is perfect for the festival season as it adds liveliness to your look with little to no effort. For the men, a tropic print shirt is an ideal go-to because just like the ladies, liveliness is an essential for this sunny season.

Vibrant Colours

Ditch the all black attire and make loads of room for some uplifting colours. Yellows and reds are making a substantial appearance in stores this summer, and they sure won’t be hard to miss. Adding bold colours to your wardrobe for this festival season will make your summer complexion pop and completely illuminate your look.

90’s Comeback

For all you 90’s babies out there, not to worry we haven’t forgotten about you. 2018 is your time to shine once again. All things 90’s are making a prodigious return, from denim dresses and jumpers, slip dresses, band shirts and anything high-waisted, this trend will most definitely present you with some nostalgic vibes.

Accessories

Adding on to the trendy comebacks, these accessories are a huge must have this festival season. From tiny framed sunglasses, mini backpacks and fanny packs, compact is the way to go! Alternative accessories that are also making a huge return are scrunchies and bucket hats. Beat the heat by keeping a scrunchie around your wrist to tie your hair back when you’re feeling a little toasty, or use a bucket hat to shield yourself from the hot summer sun. Add even more vibrancy to your look with some fun graphic patches that are also a fashionable must-have this summer. Incorporate some patches onto your denim jackets, shorts, skirts and backpacks to add some excitement to your attire.
