When it comes to summer festivals, FVDED in the Park stands alone—and not only because it’s one of the last remaining large-scale music events in the Lower Mainland. (R.I.P. Squamish and Pemby.)

“When people think about festival fashion, they either think Coachella or, like, EDC [Electric Daisy Carnival]. And the fashion trends there are very different from each other,” explains Vanessa Wong, marketing and promotions manager and resident fashionista at Blueprint, the local entertainment group involved with the fete. “But at FVDED, both of those crowds commingle and the fashion trends kind of mix together as well.”

Indeed, hit the #FVDEDinthePark hashtag on Instagram and you won’t find flower crowns and Kandi bracelets, but rather snapbacks, crop tops, and sneakers that are the sartorial equivalent of FVDED’s eccentric blend of hip-hop and electronic beats. (This year’s event, which happens this Friday and Saturday [July 7 and 8] at Surrey’s Holland Park, may boast the function’s most star-studded lineup yet, with Wiz Khalifa, the Chainsmokers, and PartyNextDoor all scheduled for the stage.)

And because dressing for the festival is half the fun—and one of the most stress-inducing parts of the prep process—we asked Wong for her take on the trends that will be taking the event by storm this weekend. So if you’ve been procrastinating, take notes—these styles work for both guys and gals.

Best overall

Love ’em or hate ’em, dungarees have been inching their way back into the public consciousness—and fast-fashion shops and closets—since summer of ’13. Wong expects to see many overall looks at FVDED, with shorts, pinafores, and full-length versions on display.

Girls can keep the trend from verging on farm-fresh by layering a bralette or bandeau underneath, while guys can opt for patterned Ts or—if you’re feeling frisky—no top at all. Accessorize with a kerchief, which you can use to protect your face from sun and dust throughout the day. And as for shoes? “Definitely combat boots or Timberlands,” states Wong.

Orange you glad

It’s a scientifically proven fact that orange is a difficult colour to wear. Rock a shade too bright and you’re trotting on traffic-cone territory; a shade too light and you’re channelling a Creamsicle. But what are festivals for if not taking wardrobe risks?

Thanks to French streetwear label Vetements, orange is having a big moment, says Wong, and it looks best when paraded front and centre. Go for a T-shirt or long-sleeve drenched entirely in neon tangerine or introduce small hits with a cap, sunnies, or even socks. If anything, the colour will help enhance your weekend-at-the-cabin glow. (Also a scientifically proven fact.)

A hot mesh

Whether it’s a duster cardigan, long-sleeve, or T-shirt dress with strategically placed embroidery, black mesh articles are an easy way to amp up the va-va-voom in your festival ’fit.

Wong recommends throwing a long cardi over a bodysuit or halter top tucked into a pair of cutoff denim shorts, “keeping it [the sweater] open so it kind of blows in the wind”, she says. Mesh Ts can also be layered atop tank tops or one-piece bathing suits for additional coverage. Finish the look with runners, sandals, or sock-fit ankle boots if you’re feeling brave.

Blue-jean baby

When all else fails, turn to the trusty Canadian tuxedo—especially timely attire, given Canada’s 150th celebrations taking place a week prior. Tailor the denim-on-denim look for FVDED by opting for light acid washes pulled straight from the ’80s, suggests Wong, or decorating an oversized jean jacket with embroidery or graphic pins.

The more destroyed, torn, and distressed, the better: raw hems are especially hot and an easy DIY project for festivalgoers who may be short on time. “Instead of having the regular seam at the bottom, for example, you could just cut it off to have a more undone look,” says Wong.
