Summer is here which means festival season has well and truly begun in Australia.
While of course, we all go for the music, picking out your outfit is half the fun.
Looking for inspiration?
This year you can expect to see dozens of people decked out in their “underwear”.
Bloomers is the latest ‘controversial’ TikTok trend and you can be sure that it will be a mainstay this festival season.
Plus, last year festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury were, like always, packed with celebs donning their best festival fits.
From Taylor Swift in her all black ensemble to Sienna Miller rocking the double denim and silver cowboy boots, recreating these looks is actually super achievable.
And if you still need inspo, the queen of Brat summer herself, Charli XCX, is headlining Laneway this year. Starting 6 February in Auckland, with shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide before ending in Perth on 16 February, the whole country is about to become very brat.
Brat is essentially the antithesis of the clean girl trend which means to be on theme you can essentially wear whatever you want.
“You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes. Who feels herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like, parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat,” Charli explained in a TikTok video.
Below, find our top festival wear picks, including brat options and other essentials, that will have you ready to dance the night away.
