I spent three full days at Bottlerock, the music festival in Napa, California this past weekend. Music Festival Fashion is truly a microcosm of global trends. Here's the list of what's in for the summer (you better hit Soulcyle):
Butt cheeks are officially the new cleavage, tiny shorts with some cheek action are what the kids are wearing, and they look pretty darn cute.
90's grunge, it's here people
Waves/Curly hair, it's big, it's cool, it's gorgeous- I even noticed women who obviously used curling irons to add some body, loving the escape from the flat and straight
Crop-tops are here to stay, looks like we still need to be miserable and avoid carbs and sugar at all costs
Septum rings are as mainstream as a small nose ring
Long nails, the pointier the better
Huge earrings
Braids, from cornrows to bohemian loose, they look gorgeous and add some funkiness
MEN (performers and fans)
Motorcycle jackets (like on Jesse above)
Minimal man jewelry (layered necklaces, cool cuffs)
Tattoos, but not as large, small writing and simple (see Peter on left)
Wayfarer sunglasses on all the cute guys
Rolled up jeans (narrow, but relaxed roll)
Light facial hair
Seeing less of the huge beards on men
Skinny black jeans for men
Low waisted jeans for men tucked into boots, with a little Calvin Klein logo sticking out (hail to the 1990's)
Fanny packs are a staple, and the brighter 90's colors, the better
