Festival fashion isn’t just about following trends — it’s about showing up and showing out the moment. From statement shades to matching outfits, what you wear can turn any festival into your runway. Whether you’re in the crowd or catching a set from a deck, your fit is part of the experience.
One spot where style always gets a moment to shine, the Verizon Viewing Deck — a space that’s been popping up at festivals like Sueños, Governors Ball, and coming soon to Sea.Hear.Now. Open to Verizon customers and lucky non-customers who manage to grab a spot, the deck gives fans a unique vantage point to see their favorite artists — and get seen themselves.
In 2025, it’s become more than just a break from the crowd.
It’s a zone where Verizon has curated different activities for attendees to enjoy, and even capture photos of their outfits. And we know this because we attended this year’s Sueños Music Festival on May 24-25 at Grant Park in Chicago, IL. While there we saw inspiring looks that can help you to decide on a fit for your upcoming festival or concert.
So, whether you’re heading to a whole weekend festival or just a summer concert in the park, let these deck-level looks serve as your style mood board. Because no matter where you’re standing, your fit deserves the spotlight.
Who doesn’t love a denim moment; whether it’s a cute pair of jeans in any style, low rise, high-waisted, or boyfriend jeans? A denim skirt, top, or bucket hat could also complete your look. Having a denim base can help build out the rest of the look, making you ready for whatever musical adventure comes your way.
Matching with your partner or friend is a must
Matching fits is not only cute but also a great way to spot the person you attended with if you happen to lose each other in the large festival crowd. Whether it’s t-shirts, jerseys, or jackets, matching with your person will not only make you stand out but also create great memories together.
A matching set
Matching sets are the go-to for any event. It’s an easy way to put together an outfit without worrying about finding a matching top or bottom. A set can easily be accessorized to elevate your festival look.
Accessories are your best friend
A hat, a necklace, a belt, a purse —any accessory can elevate your look from a 5 to a 10. These are things you probably already have in your closet, and it doesn’t matter if they match or not; a festival is the perfect place to play with styles and patterns.
Boots and shorts
It’s the classic combo that never fails you, boots and shorts. Cowboy boots are usually the festival go-to, but honestly, if you have a pair that looks good with shorts, go for it!
Sparkle everywhere you can
A sparkly top or pants saves you from having to accessorize your look, but show up and shine. Whatever color or style you pick, eyes will be on you because you glow!
If you’re searching for outfit ideas, let these looks be your style blueprint for the rest of the festival season. No matter your budget, aesthetic, or location, your outfit can be an extension of your energy, and don’t miss out on an opportunity to visit the Verizon Viewing Deck for a different vantage point of your favorite artists’ set.
