Although you may be feeling the inclination to throw your breeziest peasant blouse into your bag this weekend, basic, cotton tees are not only cooler (literally), they're washable so you won't be concerned over a little mud.

For a day full of shows, bring the bare minimum in a lightweight, cross-body bag to keep your hands free for loads of fist pumping and Instagramming.

A good pair of denim shorts are a must-have for a music festival! Here, we like the subdued embroidery detail.

We're super into mixing of materials for our sandals this summer. Here, these standard gladiators get a welcome sprucing.

Okay, we're willing to rough it -- to a point. We suggest a light blanket that can either be a great layering piece or spread to relax on in between sets.

For those of you who are music festival enthusiasts and plan on heading to the Midwest to get down at Lollapalooza, we’re jealous. Very jealous. In any case, there’s nothing we love more than dressing like we’re going to a concert (even if we’re not).

Traveling light is key, and with that in mind, we rounded up some simple and versatile items for you to throw into your tote — all of which will be fun to wear whether you’re standing front row or just belting tunes into your hairbrush. Read on to see just how to get the most out of basic separates so you won’t be worrying about lugging around your bags and more about having fun with your buds and scoping out some awesome, new bands.
