Chic Headwear for Festivals
Festival hair accessories come in all shapes and sizes. Hats and hair scarves are especially refreshing for those peak sunlight hours to keep your head feeling nice and cool — you can always go with a simple bucket hat or straw hat if you've already got a statement piece in your fit. But many festival enthusiasts also opt for eye-catching fedoras, flower crowns, sunburst headpieces, and hair clips to turn heads their way.

When it comes to festival accessories, don't forget the drip. Turn heads your way by adding a touch of glam to your outfit. Depending on your look, you can reach for chain necklaces, stackable rings, hoops, and more. One statement piece can make your outfit, but you can also take a layered approach if you're working with dainty jewelry.

With everything from waist packs to crossbody bags available, your options are infinite. Double-check with your venue to see if there are any rules you need to be aware of — you may need to bring a clear bag or under a specific size.
