Festival Style Essentials

Longer days, warm weather and good vibes all come together to create the perfect festival season. Spring and summer time festivals are some of the most coveted events year-round. From big name music festivals such as Coachella or smaller food or culture festivals, these fun-filled events are full of some of the coolest style. Music festivals are always full of fun, effortless style.

 

There are multiple items that are necessary for a successful festival experience. Proper preparation can make or break the excitement. Is the possibility of rain in the forecast? Pack a poncho for a quick save. Wearing t-shirts, jackets and even socks decorated with pictures or lyrics from your favorite artist can also add elements of fun.

 

There are essential elements to nailing flawless festival style. Festival looks are comfortable, unique and incorporate trends from many different cultures. Comfort is priority for festival style. These outdoor events are often hot and humid and require long hours of walking and standing. Fashionable footwear does not have to be exchanged for practicality.

 

Sneakers, Anyone?

 

Chic footwear is no longer a term exclusively used for stilettos. Athleisure is top trend which fuses the functionality of athletic wear with the fashion forward style of editorial fashion. Stylish colors and patterns are a great way to ensure comfort and style. A classic sneaker is the way to go for your festival looks. Ditch the uncomfortable sandals for a sleek sneaker.

 

Layers Make The Difference

 

Most music festivals take place in warm weather and often require attendees to be there from sun up to sundown. The varying differences in temperature that occur throughout the day makes layered outfits perfect for any festival.  Wearing an outfit with the addition of a jacket, sweater, or blazer makes sense. Wear the jacket during the cooler hours of the morning and evening and in the hottest part of the day, move it to a bag or even tie it around your waist.

 

Flower Power Returns

 

Hair and makeup play a major role in achieving ultimate on-trend festival style. For fabulous festival hair think carefree, spirited bold tresses. Whether these looks are achieved with real hair extensions or temporary color, festival season gives the opportunity to experience with new daring looks.  Braided crowns adorned with flowers and feathers are perfect for festival style. Loose locks with flowy waves are also very on trend for the care free environment of a festival.

Brighten Up

 

Makeup looks can be as carefree as the hairstyles. Tribal inspired makeup looks are popular for festival season and neon colors are also on trend this season. Incorporate neon hues into makeup looks with colored mascara or bright eyeliner. A bold neon lipstick or gloss is always fun.  As for adding some sparkle to your look, the sky is the limit!

 

Accessories Pull It Together

 

The right accessories are last final step in pulling off a killer festival look. Use accessories to make a statement but also add functioning elements to your look. Hats and sunglasses are not only chic but aid in protection from the sun. Wide brimmed hats or quirky “dad” caps are perfect for minimizing sun exposure on the face. Sunglasses do the same. Whether you opt for a classic aviator or funky frames, a cute pair of sunglasses is the right choice for any music festival.

How To Maintain A Youthful Glow

Aging is a process that every living organism endures, humans included. Aging is inevitable but it does not mean beauty escapes. Aging can seem scary; the nightmares of crow’s feet, wrinkles, dull skin and grey hair haunt many men and women. Although we will all grow older, we do not have to appear as such. Use the following tips for an eternal youthful glow.

 

Get Hydrated

 

Hydration is at the top of the list when it comes to healthy hair, skin and nails. The adult human body is composed of 60% water which practically makes it the elixir of life. Just a small level of dehydration will cause the body to react adversely. A diet lacking in water will directly affect the skin. Dehydrated skin can appear loose, dull and saggy. The consumption of water is essential to maintaining a youthful glow and healthy skin.

 

Get Moisturized

 

Just as water fuels hydration, so does moisturizing externally. Using proper moisturizers and serums are very important to having healthy skin. Sometimes a regular lotion does not get the job done. As the skin ages, it takes special care. Invest in a skincare system that is ideal for your specific needs. Include night creams, masks, serums and oils that add the proper levels of moisture to tired skin.

 

Get Moving

 

Physical activity is not only valid for staying healthy; it plays a major role in remaining youthful.  Exercising releases endorphins that combat stress. These endorphins create a sense of positivity in the body which is exhibited in appearance.  Exercising not only relieves stress but it also boosts self esteem and promotes healthy sleeping habits. All of these are key to maintaining a youthful glow.

 

Get A New Look

 

Confidence plays a major part in maintaining a youthful glow. There is no better or more fun way to boost confidence than a fresh makeover. Introducing a new look is a creative way to boost confidence. Explore with new hair colors and root coverage extensions for full 180 change. Hit the malls and boutiques for a session of retail therapy. New clothes and new hair will are components of the fountain of youth.

Get Protected

 

Protecting your skin is a simple way to maintaining a youthful glow. Avoiding the use of sunscreen daily is not an option. Ensure use of a product with an SPF of 30 or higher, depending on independent sun exposure. It is important wear protective clothing such as wide brim hats, bathing suit cover-ups and sunglasses to limit the amount of sun to skin contact.  Avoid tanning beds and when outside seek shadier environments. Sun rays can damage skin and cause premature aging.

 

Get Healthy

 

A healthy lifestyle is vital to the youthful glow. Eating the proper diet and limiting unhealthy options will show dramatic skin improvement. Eat a diet rich in Vitamin C which adds to collagen levels in the skin.  Foods containing high levels of Vitamin C include kale, yellow bell peppers, berries and citrus. Excessively indulging in processed foods or sweets with high levels of sugar will put a damper on your skin. Eating more of the good, less of the bad will enhance your youthful glow.
