What to Wear to Wildlands Festival
Wildlands is basically the perfect combo of music, chaos, and heat—so your outfit needs to look cool and survive a whole day of dancing, sweating, and sitting on questionable grass patches. If you’re stuck between “cute” and “comfortable,” here’s what’s trending this year so you don’t have to think too hard.
For the Girls
Micro Shorts are everywhere right now, whether they are denim, cargo, sparkly, stretchy, doesn’t matter as long as they’re tiny. They keep you cool and fit the whole festival vibe perfectly. Pair them with a bikini top, a cropped tee, a corset, or something mesh if you’re feeling bold.
Y2K vibes encompass everything Wildlands is this year. With Addison headlining you can expect baby tees, rhinestones, chunky belts, glitter, low-rise moments, anything and everything year 2000. The vibe is “hot girl pop star from 2004,” but make it festival-proof.
Camo is having a big moment at festivals, and Wildlands is the perfect place to lean into it. Think camo mini skirts, cargos, or micro shorts paired with something simple up top so the print can do the talking.
When it comes to footwear, boots are the move.
Dr Martens bring that tough, stomp-around-all-day energy and work perfectly with everything. They’re practical, comfy once broken in, and still look cool when they get a little dusty. Cowboy boots or Riding boots are everywhere right now, especially with micro shorts or skirts. They’re bold and surprisingly festival-friendly if you’re planning on dancing all day.
FOR THE GIRLS
For the Guys
Baggy Jorts are the unofficial festival uniform for the guys who wants to look laid-back but still on-trend. They’re breathable, comfy, and have that “I didn’t try but it still works” energy. Great with sneakers, great for dancing, great for not melting.
Oversized Tees are the easiest festival win. Graphic tees, washed vintage, band tee, or you could simply go plain, just pick one that fits your vibe! They sit well, hide the sweat, and match literally everything. Also ideal if you’re going for the ‘I’m a chill guy who wants to have fun’ vibe.
When it comes to festival shoes for the guys, sneakers are a no brainer!
If there’s one thing to get right at Wildlands, it’s your shoes. Sneakers are essential. You’ll be walking, dancing, standing, and jumping all day, so comfort beats everything. Go for worn-in pairs you don’t mind getting dusty. They pair perfectly with jorts and oversized tees, and they’ll actually survive the full festival without destroying your feet.
