WHAT TO WEAR: OUTDOOR SPRING EVENTS

With Spring comes outdoor events: music concerts, art festivals, and picnics in the park. This year, Picnic Day and Coachella are both taking place on the same weekend (April 16th-17th). For these events, comfort is key. Long hours in the sun and on your feet can be taxing, so opt for comfortable shoes first and foremost. Wear some classic tennis shoes like the adorable Emma Watson (below) or cute sandals a la Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson. Second, I recommend breathable clothing. These include materials like cotton and linen. Avoid anything that's polyester or rayon, since they don't allow as much air flow. Also make sure to carry a bag that's functional and doesn't weigh you down. I suggest a small crossbody bag, or you could go with an edgy tribal print knapsack like Rachel. Hats (try a straw fedora or a floppy hat, both big for spring) and sunglasses can come in handy during the day, as well as some sort of cover-up for when the sun goes down. So no matter which event you choose to take part in, I've gathered up some inspiration to help you look cute and stay comfortable. Finally, don't forget the sunscreen!
