No fashion challenge is quite as sticky (literally with temperatures at Pitchfork Festival nearing 40 degrees Celsius) as dressing for a music festival. With the weather and the crowds (don’t forget the likelihood of the grass quickly turning to sludge) the list of variables to consider is a long one. From coast to coast, the music festivals of summer 2013 have taken us far and wide. We snapped an array of stylish bohemians at California’s ever-popular Coachella and hip trend-setters at Chicago’s Pitchfork. We documented country’s most fabulous at Bowmanville’s newly established Boots and Hearts festival and young trendsetters and New York’s Governor’s Ball. We’re doing a festival style roundup- taking a look back at the ensembles that had set fashion senses a-tingling.
Osheaga 2013 Street Style
Osheaga, Montreal
This festival plays host to some of Canada’s hippest young things. With a backwards cap, sneakers and fun printed shorts this festival go-er does a great job of combining on-trend pieces while achieving the comfort meets style balance.

Coachella 2013 Fashion Weekend
Though festivals often adopt a “less-clothing the better” motto, you’re guaranteed to make a statement with bold prints and bright colours. This psychedelic tie-die mini is fun and breezy while this floral-print kimono is perfect for spicing up a little white dress. For those of us who don’t want to go without a heel, ankle booties win the prize for best comfort and style.

This music-seeker at Chicago’s Pitchfork festival shows us a thing or two about bracing the heat.
