What to Wear to BTV
We all know it, we all love it, for many of us BTV is the best way to close in the New Year. This year, festival fashion is sitting right at the intersection of Y2K nostalgia, indie cool, and relaxed streetwear, and honestly? There are no rules. It’s about comfort, confidence, and wearing something you can dance in from sunrise to the final set.
For the Girls
Y2K energy is everywhere. Think low-rise, baby tees, mini skirts, metallic fabrics, and butterfly or star details. Pair a tiny graphic tee with baggy pants or a micro skirt for that early-2000s throwback moment.
Indie vibes soften things up. Crochet tops, flowy skirts, lace details, and sheer layers are perfect for warm days and golden hour pics. Earthy tones mixed with pops of colour keep it effortless and dreamy.
Streetwear influence ties it all together. Oversized hoodies for night sets, chunky sneakers you can actually walk in, and crossbody bags that hold more than just lip gloss. Layering is key! Mesh tops over bralettes, open shirts, or lightweight knits keep your look interesting and practical.
Accessories? Go wild. Tiny sunglasses, statement earrings, glitter, bandanas. If it feels fun, it belongs.

For the Guys
Oversized fits are essential. Boxy tees, loose tanks, and relaxed silhouettes keep things breathable and effortless. The goal is comfort without looking like you didn’t try.
Denim is everywhere, think baggy jeans, denim shorts, oversized jackets for when the sun goes down. Light washes feel daytime-ready, while darker denim hits harder at night.
Button-up shirts are THE festival moment. Lightweight cottons, linens, or slightly sheer fabrics worn open or loosely buttoned are perfect, especially for warm festival days. They’re easy to layer, breathable, and add effort. Relaxed, versatile, and very on-trend.
Tie it together with streetwear staples: sneakers you trust, crossbody bags, caps or bandanas, and minimal jewellery. Simple pieces, styled well, go a long way.
For The Guys
The Bottom Line
Beyond The Valley style is about feeling free and looking effortless. Mix Y2K nostalgia with indie textures and streetwear comfort, wear what makes you feel confident, and don’t overthink it. If you can dance all day and still feel like yourself, you’ve nailed it.
