Sure, Denver’s Outside Festival had killer bands and epic gear demos. But honestly? We couldn’t stop staring at what everyone was wearing. Between the rock climbing clinics and group runs, people were casually serving looks that had us doing double takes. Consider this our official field report on the best-dressed festival fashion.

A bold hat and sunglasses will protect you from the sun and make the look.

Leopard-print Vans, floral jeans, fringe denim jacket, and a bolo? The boldness works.

A tank top and a crossbody bag is a go-to festival ’fit; an on-trend shorts length takes it from expected to cool.

When you need a fest staple that’ll keep you chill and chilled out, go for a bodysuit, bucket hat, and Ray-Bans.

Keith is the VP of Stoke at The North Face (real title, we checked his LinkedIn), hence the mohawk-to-toe TNF.

Parker bought these earrings at the base of Kilimanjaro, proving that adventure souvenirs always make for stellar accessories.

Like many outfits we spotted, Jenny thrifted all of these clothes. Good for fashion, good for the planet.

Another variation of the tank top and sidebag look, this time punched up with a cow-print Wrangler bag ($44).

When in doubt out west, simply go Western.

Let the rain become a style moment, and work that makeshift rain cover like a cape.

If you can base an entire outfit on the colors of your Chacos, you win.
