When choosing your clothing, it is important to consider comfort. It may be temping to wear new or fashionable shoes, but you are better off wearing something comfortable that has been broken in, because you will be spending most of your time standing or walking. Sandals or tennis shoes make a great choice for this reason. That doesn’t mean that you are stuck wearing utilitarian shoes, however. There are plenty of great tennis shoes and sandals that look as good as they feel. Be sure to wear socks if you wear a closed shoe to help prevent blisters. Choose ankle socks if you don’t want your socks to be visible, or pick knee socks, which come in a huge variety of colors and styles.
Lollapalooza takes place in the heat of summer and festival temperatures have reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep your legs cool in the summer heat by wearing shorts or a short skirt. While jean shorts are a perennial favorite, you are probably better off choosing a cotton or light-weight material for your shorts. A summer dress will look good while keeping you from getting too hot.
A tank top, sleeveless T-shirt or a shirt made out of thin, light material for your top is a good choice in the heat. Keep in mind that loose fitting clothes allow air to circulate around your body, which helps to keep you cool. Bring a cardigan, hoodie or other cover up with you. Although Lollapalooza takes place during the heat of the summer, the temperature can cool off considerably by the time the evening entertainment begins, and you may find yourself needing an extra layer to stay comfortable.
Protect your head from the sun with a hat. You are only limited by your imagination when choosing a hat, but look for something that has a brim to cover your eyes or, even better, a brim that covers your head all the way around. Wear sunglasses throughout the day. Yes, they protect your eyes from the sun, but they also add a fashionable touch to any outfit. Pick sunglasses that fit your personality. Aviator sunglasses, large frames and cat eye glasses are classic choices. Add your own personal style to your clothing using accessories. Necklaces, whether long, short or layered, are a great place to start. Bracelets, anklets, earrings and belts offer an endless array of options. Accessorize your hair with headbands, feathers, hair clips or anything else that strikes you.
