Burning Man

Dates: August 28-September 5

Dedicated to anti-consumerism and self-reliance, the nine day annual event celebrates artistic self-expression and the building of a temporary community. 

After being canceled several times due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the much anticipated festival is back to its desert home in Nevada.

‘Our intention is to generate society that connects each individual to his or her creative powers, to participation in community, to the larger realm of civic life, and to the even greater world of nature that exists beyond society,’ says their website.

The party continues until the man burns!

The look: 

There are no rules when it comes to wardrobe (or lack there of!) at Burning Man, other than leave your inhibitions at home!

This year’s theme ‘Walking Dreams,’ celebrates the transformative power of dreams. In other words, use your imagination — the bigger and bolder, the better! 

Radical self-expression is encouraged. Think see-through separates, metallic accents, futuristic headgear, statement shoes and neon makeup. 

Burning Man describes itself as a kid friendly event, so why not bring your cutest accessory along for the ride?

Disco Baby by Charlotte Lyons offers the perfect custom wares for tots.

‘I’m a big festival goer,’ revealed Charlotte to DailyMail.com. ‘I realized there was a gap in the market for catsuits, so I started making them for adults; then everyone I was making catsuits for started having children. I launched my kids line of jackets and pants made from holographic spandex during the pandemic when festivals were cancelled.’

Personalize your child’s jacket with their name and they’re sure to cherish their  festival look forever. Order one for yourself and twin with your mini!

‘It’s a place of calm where everyone can connect, and it’s grown into this space where people come for so many different intentions, shared the festival’s co-founder Dan Hill.

‘We want it to attract a lot of different tribes so that people are really coming together from a positive. I’ve been to many beautiful festivals but I’ve never been to one that feels so calm and so truly accepting.’

In the mid-afternoon, the festival offers live music and performances, as well as delicious food and beverages to socialize and connect, before the big lantern release.

This year’s lineup consists of Ry X, ASCENSION and Gone Gone Beyond.  

Attendees come from all over the world to be a part of the life-altering experience that cannot really be described.

The look: 

Channel your inner festival queen with easy, breathable cotton pieces like a maxi dress by Marie Oliver.

For a modern take on boho chic, add some edge to the ladylike frock with a western hat, Stone and Strand ear stack, and Raen sunnies.

Rock a crossbody Pipatchara bag then strut your stuff in Minnetonka moccasins through the open land like the desert goddess does. 

Don’t forget your Hume Supernatural deodorant and smell fresh all day long.

The look: 

When hitting a festival at the Adriatic sea, think practical beach chic. 

Comfy and cute, you can’t go wrong with a two-piece bathing suit topped by denim shorts, all from Italian luxury retailer Italist.com. 

Store your day’s worth of essentials in a designer belt bag for hands-free convenience, get layered in the latest It-girl jewelry by Adornmonde, and opt for flat shoes to dance the day and night away.

Your beauty should be lightweight and protective. Supergoop!’s Glow Screen will give skin an instant glow-up with UV protection and a light shimmer, while Maybelline’s Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipcolor delivers no-budge color.
