Despite all of the great plus size clothing options available today, we still have a ways to go when it comes to diversity of style. Thank goodness accessories exist. When my festival outfit is not quite right, I can count on accessories to take me from basic to bohemian goddess.
During festival season, it can be SO hard to find something to wear due to slim pickings. Festival style seems to be the one area that fatshion hasn’t really dared to go. Maybe it’s because brands still don’t know what to do with a fat girl that wants to show some skin. Maybe it’s because brands think we’re still trying to hide our bodies rather than be seen. Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that curvy women enjoy music festivals and are not trying to hide under layers of billowy fabric. I do love a good kimono though!
These bohemian accessories will help you step up your festival fashion game!
Unlike clothing, a necklace, shoes, and a bag are always just your size. The following accessories are fatshionista tested and stylist approved for the fat festival goer.
Cute Kimonos
Kimonos are a boho girl’s BFF! Not only do they protect your shoulders from the elements (hello, hot desert sun!). They’re perfect for cute pictures of you twirling around to the music.
Recreate the look with these Cute Kimonos:
- Black Lace Trim Constellation Kimono Plus Size (Sheer black with constellations and crescent moons)
- Daniel Rainn Kimono Duster Jacket (lightweight and sheer)
- Navy Floral Kimono – Plus Too (lightweight duster length)
Circular Sunnies
Ozzy Osbourne was on to something with his iconic circle sunglasses. Eyes are extremely sensitive to sun, so don’t be caught at a festival without them.

Bolo Babes
I try to avoid metal necklaces during the hot months and recently discovered bolo ties. Obviously, I’m obsessed.

Mini Backpacks
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought a bag online to find that the strap is so short that it looks like I’m wearing a fanny pack. A mini backpack that can hold your chapstick and allow you to dance hands-free is a-ok in my book.

After the first day of the festival, you’re going to wish you had something for you and your crew to sit on. Pack a cute tapestry or towel to host impromptu picnics between sets.
