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.

Schera Sampson
Arvada, CO
A bold hat and sunglasses will protect you from the sun and make the look.

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

Ben Chamberlain
Salt Lake City, UT
A tank top and a crossbody bag is a go-to festival ’fit; an on-trend shorts length takes it from expected to cool.

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

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

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

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

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

Scott Fansher
Colorado Springs, CO
When in doubt out west, simply go Western.

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

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