One of the best things about summer is the abundance of summer festivals. While most people tend to go the tried and true favourite of denim shorts and a tank top, why not change things up in a cute festival dress? This season, look out for tribal-inspired prints and colourful patterns. Also look for dresses that allow plenty of room to move (and dance). Below are just a few fun festival dresses to check out.

Some of the most fun festivals dresses have left-of-centre designs. This somewhat basic black tunic is brought to life by multicoloured embroidery and triangular chiffon appliqués. The appliqués add a 3D element to the dress. Style this for a festival by teaming it with thick black sunglasses and a pair of canvas shoes. Alternatively, you could also wear this as a shirt and tuck it into a pair of denim shorts.

Tank-style designs make for fun festival dresses. Their main appeal is the fuss-free nature of the design and relative ease of wearing them. The focal point of this dress is the multicoloured ‘defend the people’ slogan at the front. It’s slightly sheer so wear a slip underneath if desired. If you want a looser fit, then it’s probably best to go a size up.
