Festival Looks You Won't Later Regret

Festival season is upon us, but before you grab those sky-high heels and floppy hat, consider our suggestions for on-trend looks that won't later become a pain point. The Outfit Rompers may still rule the runway, but they definitely have drawbacks in a port-a-potty. Leave the contortions to the contortionists and opt for airy dresses or loose separates that will have you heeding nature's call with ease. The Shoes Muddy fields make any shoes with a pointy heel a no-no. Also, if a heel breaks, you're in for an awkward trek back to the car. Make things easier on yourself with gladiator sandals or glitzy sneakers; they'll have you gliding across the grass instead of sinking deep down into it. The Accessories Don't be tempted by oversized bags to keep things handy. Large compartments call for lots of digging to find your wallet, phone, or keys. Instead, go for a small crossbody bag to keep your essentials organized and accessible—or if you can swing it, pockets!
