Cybershop Australia welcomes you to the vibrant world of music festivals where the energy is electric, the beat is heart-stopping and the fashion is your statement of pure personality.
Dressing up for a music festival like Splendour in the Grass or Coachella is as much fun as attending the event itself. It requires planning, attitude and dash of fearless creativity. Create a look that channels the energy of the festival while being totally you!
Sparkle like a disco-ball, swag with attitude in oversized streetwear, sashay in an ankle-length kaleidoscope of colours, chill out in nostalgic hippie threads of tie-dyed hues, or be a seductive siren in fishnet stockings and sky-high heels. Every festival has it’s own vibe, atmosphere and spirit, and dressing for the occasion is a must.
Practical Tips For Festival Fashionistas
Your festival look may need to last for days in all types of weather and conditions. Here are some practical tips to consider.
Layering is great for all types of weather – Choose jackets, sweaters or kimonos that you can stash in a bag during the day and wear at night to keep you warm. Lightweight jackets that can be tied around your waist keep your hands free and add a cool vibe. Heavier jackets can be used as cushions to make sitting on the hard ground slightly more fun.
Comfort is vital – Long hours of dancing, sitting on the grass and strolling around to be insta-grammed can become a nightmare if you are not comfortable. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow easy movement.
Step in style – Whether you are wearing boots, sky-high heels or beach flats, your festival footwear must be comfortable. The last thing you want are blisters making every dance step painful. Leave your white shoes at home, they are not great for tramping around in the mud and dust.
Accessorise with care – Statement accessories are a must-have, but think about functionality and practicality. Crossbody bags are ideal to keep your hands free for dancing. Trendy hats add a vibe to any outfit and protect you from the sun – a double win! Ensure that metallic hardware, belts, buckles, necklaces and earrings won’t weigh you down as the day progresses.
Be versatile – Choose outfits that can transition from day to night. Your muddy day boots won’t be welcome at the posh restaurant. Have options to dress up or down as the mood changes. Adding glitzy accessories can seamlessly turn a day outfit into a shimmering night-time stunner.
Be prepared to ditch your outfit after the festival – Tramping around in the dust, mud, heat and rain may not do your outfit any good. Your Splendour in the Grass look may have to be delegated to the bin after the show is over. But, on the positive side, this gives the opportunity to plan a new one for next year.
Other must-haves – Keep your eye on the weather reports and have an umbrella handy for a storm and sun-screen for a heatwave. The weather can be as wild as the festival and you need to be prepared. Stay hydrated, while this may not be fashion, neither is fainting from the heat. Carry a stylish refillable water bottle with you in your bag. Don’t forget hand sanitiser, wipes and tissues. Bathrooms may not be as pristine as yours at home. Stay connected with portable phone chargers and, when you want a break, get dis-connected for a while with ear plugs and eye masks.
Choose Cool Accessories to Express your Festival Vibe
At Cybershop Australia, we have a fabulous range of accessories to resonate with the theme of the festival.

Unleash Your Look At These Iconic Festivals
Laid Back at Splendour In The Grass
Splendour in the Grass is Australia’s most iconic music and arts festival. The fashion style is as eclectic as the music, ranging from bohemian-chic to edgy and vibrant. Show your laid-back style in 70s style flowing maxis, gossamer caftans, fringe kimonos, crochet tops and festival-ready colourful two-piece sets. Accessorise with cowboy boots, wild hats and trendsetting shades.
Trends are Made at Coachella
Coachella, held in California, is the ultimate festival for fashion and music enthusiasts. This is where trends are set and style is elevated. Embrace desert-chic with distressed denim shorts, tiny crop tops and wide-brimmed hats. Step out in lacy jumpsuits, indie-sleaze off-the-shoulder oversized tops, camo jackets or a see-though mini-dress. Anything goes and you are the ultimate style boss at Coachella!
Shimmer at Burning Man
Burning Man is more than a festival – it is a cultural movement celebrating self-expression, where fashion pushes the boundaries and embraces the extra-ordinary. Slip into a neon fur coat, sparkling sexy metallic bodysuit or a flashing LED mini skirt with matching flashing LED headgear. Think avant-garde and go big with no-holds barred. Shimmer and shine with rad accessories like mirrors, lights, disco balls, reflective stripes, silver and gold embellishments. Be brutally feminine and be hot and sexy.
Unconventional Chic at Glastonbury
As the defining festival of British music and culture, your Glastonbury outfit must be more than just clothing. Embrace the unique spirit of blending art and individuality. Create your unconventional chic look with mismatched patterns, asymmetrical designs, swirling bands of colour, quirky footwear and layers of luxe for the cooler nights. Swathing yourself in loads of denim is still cool as are wild fringes and waist belts of all shapes and sizes.
From funky to futuristic and everything in between, Cybershop Australia allows you to unleash your inner festival fashionista, be it Splendour In The Grass, Glastonbury, Coachella, Burning Man, or any other that takes your fancy.
