As far as festival backdrop’s go, it’s doesn’t get much better than the Stawamus Chief, a grand granite dome, standing watch.

Coachella officially kicks off 2015 festival season this weekend, and whether or not you’re going to be in attendance, what better excuse to don crop tops and all-fringed-anything?

’70s style dominated Spring 2015 runways from Gucci to Saint Laurent, proving that the flower child look is here to stay for yet another season. And it’s with that in mind that we look back to these Style Panel looks, submitted last summer and just right for Coachella 2015.

White lace and denim shorts seem to be the sure way to accomplish the festival look. To take your basic summer look to the next level, add statement pieces like The Pretty Secrets’ Sandy Joe Karpetz did with her festival-inspired kimono. If you’re looking to add a pop of colour to your outfit, our newest Style Panel member, SummerxSkin’s Anum Khan suggests a maxi skirt and multicoloured bangles paired with a white crop top. And if you’re really confident with the trend, The Ordinary Peoples’ Alyssa Lau shows you how to dress for a festival by taking on three spring trends (bold colours, a crop top and patterns!) in one chic look.

So many epic music festivals happen over the August long weekend that it takes an afternoon just to catch up on the fashion! From Toronto’s OVO and Veld festivals to Chicago’s Lollapalooza, there’s plenty for music lovers. Montreal’s Osheaga, a festival consistently praised for its lineup and smooth execution, proves to be a competitive event in the summer festival circuit.

More than 135 thousand attendees made the annual summer pilgrimage to Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Sainte-Hélène in Montreal for the three-day music and art festival. Nearly 120 acts were jammed into 72 hours over 6 stages, festivalgoers swayed to A-list acts like Outkast, Lorde, Haim, as well as homegrown MTL heroes Chromeo and Half Moon Run.

While festival season continues through October, the last major stop on a music lover’s summer travel list will be Osheaga, the three-day music and arts jam hitting Montreal this weekend. And while the flower child meets-rock star girlfriend dress code has been set, we’re raising the bar on festival style with this plus size guide courtesy of our resident expert, Mo Handahu and her favourite source for all things unique: Value Village.

A haven for oversized, DIYable summer-ready pieces, Value Village, especially the men’s section, is a haven for festival style staples. With a little patience, you’ll find crop tops, knit vests, vintage tees and retro wash denim ready to be distressed.

To inspire you to hit the thrifting aisles, here are three looks that are street style ready for the festival circuit.
