Choose your festival and keep checking the latest news. The weather always plays the biggest role at outdoor festivals and make sure you know exactly how to get to the festival, who you want to go with and especially what you want to take with you.
Boho Style Meets Country
The most important thing is certainly your outfit at the festival. The boho style remains super popular and especially the country style. Choose cowboy boots, scarves, hats, as fancy colorful, very relaxed fashion items for your perfect look.
Country remains a theme at this year's festivals and the modern cowgirl look is therefore very popular.
In addition to the right clothes and the right sunglasses, your beauty routine also plays a major role in creating a really radiant and eye-catching appearance at the festivals.
Take a look at which brands we have found for you that support your country and boho cowgirl look.
