Fashion Sense: The Street Styles Of Lollapalooza 2016

August 10, 2016 - 11:25 am by Christine Imarenezor FACEBOOK TWITTER

We spotted festival goers who dressed and expressed themselves through their dopest threads.

Lollapalooza 2016 was definitely one for the books. From the plethora of performances to the good eats, Chicago brought the memories that many are sure to share for the rest of their lives.

As the music festival celebrated 25 years of bringing the tunes to the Windy City's Grant Park, we decided to scope the scene for some eye-catching, fashionable folks. Many attendees used the opportunity to dress (or barely dress) comfortably and express themselves through their dopest threads.

Flip through to see who we ran into and read what inspired their festival looks.

Outfit Inspiration: "For festivals, I always try to do something a little more indie, a little free-flowing and comfortable. Everything [I'm wearing] is really easy and inexpensive. They're things that I don't mind if they don't go home the way that they came. I try to take things really laid back, just have a laid back approach to festival fashion."

Lollapalooza In One Word: "Inspiring."

Excited To See: "I actually perform with Sir the Baptist. We met when i was transitioning out of the military. I was writing music for a local artist as well as myself. I met him last year in a Lyft and he was like, 'Man, what do you do?' And from there we just kind of became friends and worked on music. With the whole military thing ,at first, I wasn't really running with it but I said, 'Man, you know you're really a part of something bigger than what people know. You should really take advantage of this and be an example to people in the military, who aren't able to live this life and do the things they want to do. That's basically my purpose. I'm here to be able to show people that are in the military that there's much more to life that just being in the military. "

Outfit Inspiration: "We were with a large group of activists before Lolla, around 1pm. We got together at the park south of here and had a roundtable surrounding the issue of violence in Chicago and America. We just talked about it, held a space for people to express their feelings and then we marched up and had a short demonstration outside of Lollapalooza. We got a lot of support. Everyone wore this pin."

Outfit Inspiration: "My hair. I saw this African dashiki that's really a trend right now. It had all these beautiful colors in it and it had white, but you know my hair's black. So I was like, 'Ah it'll be alright.' i guess that was my inspiration, the dashiki. Why white? Because everyone sees black hair everywhere. I wanted to stand out a little bit."
