Memphis Festival Fashion: What To Wear, Where To Go

Memphis Festival Fashion: What To Wear, Where To Go

Ed. Note: Memphis fashion expert and blog contributor Kim Thomas brings us this very stylish post on spring or fall fashion for everyone, with pieces you can get here in town. Then, she's got her personal picks for favorite fall Memphis events.


It’s time to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall music festivals and events. From college football games to concerts and craft festivals, there’s always something fun to do in Memphis, no matter what’s your jam. The temps haven’t completely cooled (hanging on 'til late September over here), however, fall festival fashion will be front and center.   I'm sharing a few easy, festival apropos looks that will have you living it up with your friends and fam in style. Graphic tees, all things denim, light layers and fun accessories are must-haves trends right now, so if you’re still stuck on where to go* and what to wear, we’ve got you covered.

Rompers are the perfect one and done piece for those days when you don’t want to think about what to wear (and who doesn’t love a floral pattern?).  Pair with statement jewelry and a long knit vest for an extra layer for a little added texture and warmth.

There’s nothing cooler than a classic denim jacket, and it’s so easy to throw one over your everyday khaki shorts and patterned t-shirt. A beaded necklace keeps it from being basic, so just slip on your favorite pair of Chucks or boat shoes to complete the look.

Super flares are a hot trend this season, and a soft black hue is a fun alternative to lighter washed denim. Play it cool with a patterned blouse, distressed denim jacket and your favorite pair of booties. (Denim Jacket, Top, Flares: American Threads, Earrings: IV by David)

Graphic tees FTW! If all else fails, you can build a cute look around your fave graphic or band tee and get total Penny Lane vibes. Instead of denim cutoffs, try a frayed hem corduroy skirt, and slip on a suede moto jacket to tie it all together. Skip your normal cross-body and pack everything in a backpack instead.

On days when the weather is unpredictable (hello 80 degree days and 60 degree nights), light layers are the way to go! Graphic tees and relaxed denim are classic go-tos during the day, but keep a Fair Isle sweater with you to keep warm once the sun goes down.
