Fashion Music Festivals lollapalooza

Lollapalooza always brings out quite the crowd. People get just as excited to show off their outfits as they are to hear their favorite bands perform while experiencing the sweeping views of the Chicago skyline. However, as opposed to festivals like Coachella, people don't take their outfits too seriously. When it comes to Lolla, the only rule is to have fun.

This year, the four-day long festival featured some definitive trends. From bucket hats to lilac hair and a large amount of American pride, the festival boasted some interesting looks that were either throwbacks or totally innovative. Here are some of the trends we noticed after attending all four days of the festival!

1. Button-downs and body chains

Unbuttoned button-downs were worn by 80% of the male population, while body chains and braids were a hit with the ladies.

2. The 90s were everywhere, which meant chokers and dark lipstick

Long live tattoo chokers.

3. Bucket hats, bucket hats and more bucket hats

Every bro had one of these early '00s staple on top of his head. The more obnoxious the print, the better.

4. Flower crowns and fanny packs = festival staples

Honestly, if you weren't wearing a fanny pack at Lolla you weren't really "in the know." We talked to a handful of ladies and gents who said fanny packs are "cool," especially because you can get them in different patters and textures.

5. More '90s: Velvet, pom-poms and colorful sunglasses
