These days, festivals are all about fashion as much as they are music.  Designers, celebrities, models, and bloggers flock to festivals rocking the latest trends, but now anyone has a good chance of ending up on a best dressed list or street style post.  As festival season comes to a close, fall pieces are hitting the stores making ACL the perfect place to try out some of the latest trends.

The heat makes it slightly trickier when trying to decide what to buy, pack, and wear at ACL.  Fall styles are in, but no one wants to run from show to show in their newest fall pieces.  Channel your inner flower child with a flowy festival dress that looks hot without making you melt by mid day.  Go crazy in trips kaleidoscope prints or chill out in a fluttery neutral.

Finally, accessories are key when it comes to dressing outfits up or down and completing the look.  Turquoise stones and gypsy baubles continue to be on-trend and festival staples.  Add a hat, quirky sunnies, and a great bag and you’re ready to go.
