Check out some of our ideas for vintage and pre-owned jewelry looks for your next festival outing!
Spring
Coachella | April 15-17 and April 22-24
Given its overwhelming boom in popularity in recent years, Coachella has expanded to two separate weekends of fun. With a location south of Los Angeles in Indio, CA, the annual music and arts festival is a favorite among Hollywood celebs. As such, fashion bloggers and photographers cover the event every year to scout the best dressed and notable among the crowd. The festival is known for its trendy, bohemian-chic aesthetic, and it’s the perfect time to break out your best boho pieces.
Summer
Outside Lands | August 7-9
San Francisco’s most popular festival is Outside Lands, located in the lush Golden Gate Park. The food, arts, music, and wine festival drew more than 180,000 revelers to the City by the Bay for its 2014 iteration with a diverse roster of major names in the music industry. The festival draws an equally diverse crowd with attendees of all ages, interests, and styles coming out to enjoy the event. Given San Francisco’s relatively chilly, fog-filled summers, festival goers bring layers upon layers to stay warm. Ensembles tend toward the more subtle side, with the emphasis on a few well-curated accessories like a vintage necklace and a unique ring to complete a look.
Fall
Burning Man | August 31-September 7
Perhaps the most creatively focused festival of the group, Burning Man draws an eclectic crowd of more than 50,000 attendees every fall. Located in the remote Nevada desert, the attendees construct an elaborate temporary city called Black Rock City with a massive effigy in the center, the eponymous ‘Burning Man’. While the festival has long been popular with Hollywood’s entertainment industry, recent years have welcomed Silicon Valley’s tech elite like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. Festival attendees are spending up to $25,000 per person for a fully glammed out experience, their camps decked out with everything from private chefs and luxury concierge services to satellite-enabled internet.
With the focus squarely placed on uninhibited creativity and self-expression, it’s the perfect place for showing off your most adventurous jewelry looks.
Winter
Carnival in Rio | February 5-10
If you’re seeking a more international experience, head down to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil for its wild Carnival celebrations. In addition to the locals, the five-day festival draws international attendees from around the globe, with last year’s celebration attracting fashion industry icons like Riccardo Tisci, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Mario Testino. As attendees escape the winter chill of the Northern Hemisphere with a little Brazilian heat, the style is all about over the top glitz. If you think you’re wearing too much jewelry, you’re only halfway there.
