For three years in a row, Chicago’s own Tres Awesome has been chosen by Elle magazine to grace their website with photos of Chi’s most fashionable festers. Her article is a fresh break from most ridged fashion editorials and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Lollapalooza, Chicago’s last big summer fling, is less than two weeks away. Its presence is a city wide warning of this pleasant weather’s imminent end. If you’re one of the fortunate few with tickets to the three day long concert series, or if you’re still hoping to score last minute passes to this or any other end of summer event, here are five ways to ensure your festival street style is sweaty outdoor all day party appropriate – and chic to boot!
Take It To the Head
Unique head gear keeps you from getting lost in the crowd.
- Leather Python Turban by Yana Handbags, Sir and Madame
- Metal Ivy Headband, Akira

Dress Up In It
Don’t be afraid to go ultra feminine in a free spirited frock.
- One Shoulder Dress, Shruti Kirti
- Praire Skirt, Dollparts
- Chiffon Jersey Maxi, Akira
Big Ol’ Booties
Thinking flip-flops? Think again! For long festival days wear a shoe with support.

- Freebird by Steven, Lori’s Shoes

Bag Ladies
Keep a bag with a secure closure and a style boosting design. Backpacks are big but we’re favoring cross-body handbags.
