When it comes down to what you’re going to be wearing, you want to make sure you’re looking pretty good. Around this time of the year inspiration lies everywhere, from boho statement necklaces to lusting over lace, but nothing will get your imagination flowing better than our top picks on what to take with you. From laid-back bohemian slip dresses to on point accessories, get ready to discover the must-have festival staples you need this year — all from the one and only, Maven Boutique LA.

Lover Maxi // Chelsea Deen

We found it pretty hard not to fall in love with this bohemian maxi dress, it’s the perfect cut, the colours are all bang-on-trend and the style is breathable. Perfect for any kind of festival when the sun is out. One major festival trend for S/S’15 is a maxi slip teamed with a pair of cuban heels. Expect an avalanche of flowy, dreamy, irresistible dresses everywhere you turn once you’re there.

Lacey Shorts // Clair De Lune Wild Rose

We just had to take a moment out to get over these super cutesy shorts that are a mere £15. If you’re feeling a little rough from the night before, the last thing you want to be dealing with is clothes that are way too fussy. When we wake up in the morning at a festival the first we thing we do is shove on some comfortable shorts. You can never have too many shorts — they’re easy to pack and also very lightweight, meaning more room to store your body paint essentials and beer.

Florence Crop Top // Rachel Lynch

Crop tops are everything at a festival. You’re going to be doing a lot of walking and dancing so the less clothes, the better. With the 90s influence definitely here to stay, it’s time to tone up and get those torsos out with this season’s biggest trend. Team your little white crop with some colourful genie pants or some denim cut-offs. You’re able to mix and match a crop to go with anything, style with ease.

Over The Moon Statement Necklace // Victoria Emi

Channel your inner boho spirit by wearing a statement necklace. You don’t want to take too much jewellery to a festival, but this one necklace says it all. You’re able to layer up different pieces to create a unique, on-trend look. All you have to do is accessorise further with a wide brimmed floppy hat and you’re going to look like a professional festival-goer in seconds.

Kayden Jumpsuit // Mary Ellen Skye

Last but not least, you shouldn’t forget to pack a timeless jumpsuit. You’re able to style this in so many different ways, by wearing it with a T-shirt underneath or a little blouse, whatever the weather style accordingly. When it’s really hot, style the jumpsuit by itself with a pair of comfortable plims. This outft isn’t fussy in the slightest, easy to pack and simple to dress up or down.
