Choosing The Right Boho Hippie Festival Wear

Depending on where you are in the world, festival weather can either be scorching hot or dreary and wet. No worries. We have you covered for your festival outfit come rain or shine. Whether you’re singing in the rain at Glastonbury or soaking up the sun rays at Lollapalooza or Coachella, we have the gear that suits any climate.

Festival Life 

Festival Wear

Festivals are super-exciting, energetic and can get the adrenalin pumping like never before. It’s the perfect time to reveal your inner hippie all while partying and dancing the days and nights away with friends. Although music is at the fore-front of most festivals, the outfits definitely come in at a close second.

Choosing the right outfit can be tricky and we understand the struggle. Today, we will try to help make choosing festival wear less of a dilemma, and more of an adventure. We have all the essentials you desire to have you looking and feeling like a Boho queen or king. Check out our suggestions and have fun selecting your festival outfit right here at Himalayan Handmades.

Jackets and Hoodies

Who doesn’t like hoodies? They are go-to gear no matter the occasion. We have a range that includes light-weight and funky styles that can be worn on cool and breezy summer days or nights. For those cold and perhaps rainy days or nights, we have fleeced lined Baja hoodies and heavy-duty Bhutan jackets. They provide extra warmth so the chill shouldn’t be too much of a factor there.

Hippie Ponchos

Let’s face it, ponchos are a festival staple. It’s hard to imagine a festival without revellers wearing some or other type of poncho. They are without a doubt, our best selling product throughout the year. It’s no wonder. They provide great protection against the elements and they are funky to boot.

Choose from our selection of heavy-duty, woven cotton “Mexican styles” or our lighter acrylic designs. Either way, you will be choosing a winner. They are versatile and multi-purpose pieces of clothing that can even be used as a blanket.  Pair it with your fave boots and combine with your faithful pair of jeans or leggings and you’re all set to rock that festival "hippie-style"

Harem Pants

If you’re looking for ease of movement when dancing the night away, then harem pants should do the trick. You cannot get more comfy than these babies. They are extremely light and don't take up much space so they can be easily tucked away in your overnight bag. We have a diverse collection that include drop crotch dungarees which are perfect day or night wear. Choosing the right style or colour shouldn't be too much of an issue as we have over 20 styles and a multitude of colour combos.

Shawl Wraps and Kaftans
 
Kaftans are great for hot days. Simply throw them over your underwear, pop on a pair of sandals and you're ready to tackle the days festivities in comfort and style. Chances are you will spend a large portion of your days roaming around and checking out the sites and sounds of the festival so you wouldn't want to be weighed down by uncomfortable clothing. They are loose-fitting garments that keep you cool all day. For cooler nights, we suggest our cotton and acrylic shawl wraps. They are velvety-soft and come in around 50 striped colour combos so you can match them with almost any outfit you decide on. Simply throw them over your shoulders and get ready to party the night away.

A Backpack

Another festival essential is without-a-doubt a backpack. Be it our mini version for when you need to carry around just your phone and wallet – Or our larger types for when you need to add those extras like your hoodie, or perhaps even memorabilia you plan to purchase. They allow you to step from day into night without having to go back to your tent for something you need. Best of all, they keep your hands free to do whatever you like. Our styles are diverse and include hemp as well as woven cotton.

Hats & Bandanas

Let’s face it. We all go to festivals to de-stress and let our hair down. Having to constantly keep your hair out of the way while rocking to your favourite band can get a bit annoying though, wouldn’t you agree? For this reason, we suggest investing in a bandana or a hat. Besides making a fashion statement, they will keep the hair out of your eyes leaving you to enjoy the sights in peace. Our collection includes hemp as well as cotton styles that can be paired with almost any outfit you decide on.

 Cami Or Tank Tops

There will be days at the festival that may be a little too hot to handle. Never fear. We have a collection of tank tops that will keep you cool and looking hot. They are super-light so there is no exuse for not stuffing at least 10 into your bag. For those who love changing outfits, you could have a different top morning, noon and night. If you want to be "extra festive" try our tie dye tops. Their colours scream "hippie" and "festival"
