Festival season is officially here. It’s time to update your wardrobe, switch up your makeup routine, try a new hairstyle, and prepare your bag of lifestyle must haves for the occasion. What does that look like for spring and summer 2026? For fashion, we’re seeing lots of ’90s and 2000s-era staples: oversize jeans, naked dresses, sequin embellishment, and — of course — corsets. While Western and boho will claim their usual top spot in festival street style, this year, you can also expect crochet and lots of sparkle, bringing a tropical and nightlife vibe to festival outfits. In the beauty realm, think a mix of ’90s face gems, glass skin, beach waves, and tousled bobs. And you’ll want to pack the usual lifestyle essentials: the best sneakers for getting around, face SPF, hands-free bags, water bottles (if allowed), handheld fans, and the list goes on.
Whether you’re headed to Coachella or Lollapalooza, check out some of our go-to products for festival season ahead, many of which have been recently reviewed by our editors.
