Festival season has a way of bringing out the hippie inside all of us—or at the very least, the sartorial hippie inside all of us. There’s no time of year when I feel more tempted to sport fringe-covered kimonos, exclusively wear shapeless dresses or layer on jewelry like the maximalist I’m not. Tie-dye, paisley and patchwork abound. Bohemian clothing becomes the thing for a couple weeks in April (Coachella), and then again the last weekend of May (Governor’s Ball), and then again the first weekend of June (Bonnaroo), and then, you know, again during every other festival that transpires before summer’s end.
It’s funny, this almost-ritualistic embracement of bohemian clothing—this fleeting, but cyclical, appreciation for a genre that’s come to define festival style. It affects everyone—even the most formal dressers, even those who’ve sworn off breezy silhouettes in favor of tailored options, even those so committed to minimalism they can’t fathom sporting multiple accessories at once. And this trend isn’t only limmited those attending festivals in-person. Thanks to social media, the rest of us can vicariously experience festival season through the festival-goers we follow on Instagram—leaving us coveting the same bohemian pieces everyone at Coachella is currently eyeing.
Like clockwork, bohemian clothing pervades our lives from April to August—leaving us with two options: ignore the trend, or shop it. The latter is, of course, more fun—and we’re already coveting more than our closets can handle.
