Let’s be real: In the Instagram era, events like Coachella are more of a place to be seen than they are a place to see others. Musical acts included. But, for the rest of us outside of Indio who can’t shell out thousands of dollars on designer for a weekend meant to be spent traipsing in the (very) well-trodden mud of festival grounds, it’s still all about the music.
Of course, this doesn’t mean we can’t have a welcomed balance of both performance and fashionable panache.
From May 3-5 festival goers packed Atlanta, Georgia’s Central Park for the annual Shaky Knees Music Festival, and they didn’t forget to pack a slew of powerful OOTD’s either. Despite the blazing sun and promise of scattered showers, attendees rocked thrifted finds, Rhiannon-worthy shawls, and killer kicks—here’s just a few of our favorite fashion-forward fans, plus the acts they were most pumped to see.
