Sun-Safety Meets Style this Music Festival Season

The TLDR: Featuring more than 60 artists across three stages over one long weekend, Governor’s Ball is New York City’s quintessential music festival. This year’s lineup features more than its fair share of pop, hip hop, and rap stars, and has a certifiably young and cool feel.

Our top pick: The attendees of Gov Ball are always amongst festival season’s most fashionable, so you should plan to dress to impress. These shades from Prada lean into the sporty, chic look – one of this season’s biggest trends – and are a great choice for anyone hoping to make a splash. Additionally, thanks to their polarized lenses, these sunglasses are a practical choice, too.

The TLDR: With 12 stages, three weekends of performances, more than 800 acts, and a whopping 900,000 attendees, Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s Summerfest is the largest music festival in the world. And with tickets starting as low as $26, and performances from top names in country, rock, blues, hip hop, and R & B, it’s easy to see why this festival draws a crowd.

Our top pick: With a massive crowd of more than 900,000, it’s easy to lose track of your possessions. Luckily these affordable and chic sunnies from Vogue Eyewear come with a cute gold chain that will ensure that your sunglasses stay firmly on your head. As an added bonus, they come in three trendy color options!

The TLDR: The Newport Folk Festival is the cool, laid-back older cousin of the festival scene. One of the first modern music festivals in America, the Newport Folk has featured its fair share of historic moments in its 60+ year run including Bob Dylan’s first electric Rock-and-Roll set and the Pixies’ first acoustic performance. These days, the waterfront festival continues to expand the folk scene with performances by up-and-comers and big names, alike.

Our top pick: With a boxy square frame and a classic tortoise shell, these retro-inspired Ray Bans will have you channeling your inner Daisy Jones and are perfectly suited for this historic festival. Additionally, with protective polarized lenses, these shades will help keep your eyes safe from the sun’s rays and the harsh glare coming off the Atlantic Ocean.
