The Thigh Life > Your Ultimate Guide to Summer Festival Outfits

Summer’s near and so is festival fashion. Whether you’re dancing in the desert to EDM or swaying to indie music on the grass, your outfit is part of the experience. The right festival outfits can take things from fun to unforgettable. From breezy crochet sets to flowy maxi dresses, we’ve curated a guide to women's festival outfits that blend style, comfort and practicality.

And no festival fit is complete without our Thigh Society shorties: they prevent chafing during long days on your feet, keep you cool, offer coverage when you want to sit and even come with a handy pocket for small essentials. Aka, they’re the perfect companion for your music experience.

1. Crochet Set with Fringe for the Boho Babe

This black-and-white crochet set (cropped top and pants) is a standout piece for festival-goers who love texture and movement. The loose weave keeps things breathable on sunny afternoons, while the fringed hem adds whimsical energy—perfect for dancing under open skies. Layered over our Cooling shorts, this outfit checks all the boxes: stylish, comfortable and chafe-resistant. The shorties help manage your body temperature (they cool you down by up to one degree), keeping you swass-free no matter how hot things get.

Styling tip: Add chunky sandals and oversized sunglasses to complete the boho-luxe vibe.

2. Baggy Tee + Cargo Bike Shorts for the Athleisure-Elegant Music Fan

If you love functional style, this is your go-to festival look. A grey oversized tee brings breezy coverage and a laid-back aesthetic, while our full-coverage Cargo shorts offer stretch, chafe protection and best of all, a pocket for essentials like a credit card, lip balm or phone. Whether you’re front row at your favorite set or lounging between acts, this look lets you move freely, sit comfortably and stay hands-free to truly dance your heart out.

Styling tip: Dress it up with layered chain necklaces, a crossbody bag and high-top sneakers.

3. Slit Maxi Dress for a Feminine and Fun Fit

There’s a reason the maxi dress is the darling of festival outfits for women — they’re effortlessly stylish and easy to move in. The thigh-high slit adds a flirty touch, while a pair of beige Staple shorts underneath provide coverage, prevent chafing and keeps everything secure as you dance or wander through the grounds.

Styling tip: Pair them with statement earrings and gladiator sandals for maximum impact.

4. Yellow Mini Dress + Colorful Shorts for a Sunshine Statement

We love a dopamine-dressing moment — and this sunshine yellow mini paired with neutral undershorts brings serious joy to the festival scene. Short, sweet and playful, this outfit is fun without sacrificing function. Our shorties add coverage and comfort, and if you’re craving contrast, try them in Sage or Lapis for a pop of color. Bonus: they let you sit on the grass, ride a Ferris wheel or dance wildly without a care in the world.

Styling tip: Go bold with white cowboy boots and a mini backpack to channel that trending Western-pop vibe.

5. Beige Romper + Cooling Shorties: Utility Meets Style

A beige romper is a subtle showstopper — neutral, breathable and just tailored enough to feel put-together. Worn over our Cooling shorties, it helps you stay dry and comfortable all day. Rompers are notorious for getting sweaty in the booty area, but our shorties wick away moisture and cool you down by up to one degree, so you can dance, walk and lounge without worry. Perfect for all-day festivals where you’re constantly on the move.

Styling tip: Add combat boots and a wide-brimmed hat for a grounded, festival-ready vibe.

Our Festival Fashion Packing List 

Bring these to make sure you’re comfortable all day long:

• Thigh Society shorts in multiple styles and shades to pair with all your fits

• A lightweight outer layer (denim jacket or cardigan) for nighttime

• Comfortable shoes you can dance and walk in for hours

• Crossbody bag or belt bag to keep essentials close

• Statement accessories: sunglasses, hats and jewelry that elevate simple silhouettes 

From crochet fringe sets to flowy maxi dresses to biker shorts, festival outfits are your chance to turn comfort into standout style. With Thigh Society shorties as your not-so-secret weapon, you can say goodbye to chafing and hello to carefree, confident festival style.
