One of Australia's best Music Festivals ' Splendour In The Grass' is just around the corner, so what better way to kick off the countdown than with a little Festival Edit? Get inspired with a shoot by one of our favourite local photographers Claudia Smith, and featuring Byron Bay babe Model Ali Webber - they've identified the ultimate festival must-haves including:
1. A pair of denim flares. Easily this seasons most surprising item on every fashion hit list, flares have been elevated from suburban to chic. Choose a dark navy rinse for a modern re-imagination of this denim classic!
2. A relaxed printed festival top. Bonus points if it's a classic two-toned raglan tee like this one.
3. A pair of statement-shaped sunglasses. Keep it chic with an avant-garde frame, or go all out and play with transparency and colour!
4. A printed mini dress. So many silhouettes to choose - from shift to a-line. Keep it retro-boho with a paisley print and go full-Woodstock.
5. A crop top. Nothing basic about this wardrobe staple! A comfy crop top will let you bust out your best dances moves.
6. An a-line skirt. The perfect skirt for a festival, an a-line skirt allows for plenty of movement and freedom.
7. A whole lotta floral. Let out your inner-hippie and embrace floral print. Give your floral print a breath of fresh air by combining it with some texture like this lil' sheer mesh number.
