Festival ‘fits: 5 essential accessories for comfort and style at South Star

Nothing sets off the perfect music festival ‘fit like the right accessory. Music festivals are about more than just incredible tunes — they’re an entire vibe. The key is to stay stylish while also being comfortable and prepared.

Here are five festival ‘fit accessories to help you stand out this weekend at the inaugural South Star Festival:

Bangin’ bag

Just like the right rug can really pull the room together, according to The Dude, so can the right bag, especially when it’s stylish and follows festival guidelines. Opt for a fanny pack to keep your hands free to dance, but make sure it isn’t larger than 6×9 inches and doesn’t have more than one pocket. Need a little more room for all your festival must-haves? Opt for a clear bag under 12x6x12 inches.

Festival footwear

What’s more important than the right bag? The right shoes, of course. Comfortable, preferably. However, you don’t have to sacrifice style so your feet aren’t aching by the night’s end. Waterproof sneakers and chunky platform boots are great options for adding a pop to your outfit.

Stylish shades

Looking to protect your eyes while also expressing your unique style? A flawless pair of shades is the perfect accessory. While sunglasses’ primary objective is to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, you don’t have to settle for a boring pair. Show your style with a funky shape, mirrored lenses or embellishments.

A hat that hits

What’s more 90s than a bucket hat at South Star, we ask you? Nothing. There’s no better way to stay cool than by covering your head with your favorite festival fedora. Whether it’s a retro snapback, crocheted bucket hat or straw sun hat, make a style statement through expressive headwear.

Haute hydration

Staying hydrated is crucial during a long day of festival fun. A hydration pack — a small backpack with a built-in water bladder and drinking tube — keeps water easily accessible without carrying bottles. Not only is it practical, but it can also be a stylish element of your festival look when chosen in a funky print or neon color. Remember, all hydration packs must be emptied of all liquid with no more than two pockets in addition to the one holding the water reservoir.
