1/8With all the buzz from weekend one on the festival circuit, it’s official: Summer’s festival season and all its bikini top, flower-crown-wearing glory has arrived. And it’s not slowing down while you agonize over the perfect show-goer look.
Fortunately, with the help of Los Angeles-based social media star Eryn Krouse, you won’t have to.

The best part? These effortless, beachy-chic looks will see you through far more than a weekend of performances, be it hanging out by the ocean or listening to your favorite tunes on a blanket in the park.

Sunny blue skies. Great music. Dancing all day and night with your friends. With so much to enjoy at a music festival, the last thing you want is to be distracted by complicated, overly conceptual clothes that need to be readjusted every few minutes. (We’re looking at you, beaded lace-up fringe cape!) Make like Eryn, and stick to a foolproof crop top/board short formula — bonus points for prints! — combined with, naturally, lots of SPF.

With a little styling know-how, there’s no need to buy a separate wardrobe just for concert season. “I think for most festivals, you can get away with looking like you just came from the beach because it's so hot,” says Eryn. “This year I’ll be dressing in clothes that I would wear to the ocean but accessorizing the looks differently - like adding a colorful flower crown!”
4/8Go with the flow.
Whether your plan involves walking between stages or to your local ice cream shop, keep comfortable in flowy tops and shorts. Take a cue from Eryn, and mix in a bold print for some added style.
Roxy, Diamond Sky Shorts in Flower Square Combo Sand Piper, $34.50.
Roxy, Free Fall Top in Sand Piper, $32.50.

The coolest way to amp up UV protection? A wide-brim hat. “I wear a straw one almost every day — I love that it shades my face, but is breathable enough to keep to my hair from getting sweaty.”
Roxy, Cantina Straw Fedora, $38.00.

“I actually love being at the beach before I go out — to a concert or elsewhere — because it gets me a natural sun-kissed glow and mermaid waves that I would otherwise need products to recreate.”

Rule #1 of summer style: wear clothes that give you the confidence to fully enjoy this season’s unexpected twists and turns — that’s when the best memories happen! Eryn suggests using your bikini as a base layer; while it looks great peeking under regular clothes on dry ground, you can shed layers for a waterproof look at a moment’s notice. (Hey there, surprise pool party!)
