Ah, festival season. A time of music, revelry, and making questionable choices—like believing a paper wristband is a permanent fashion statement or thinking glitter doubles as SPF. But beyond the flower crowns (RIP, 2013) and the ongoing debate over whether cowboy boots belong in the desert, there is one crucial festival element we don’t discuss enough: jewelry.
Yes, your accessories say as much about you as your setlist priorities. Are you a minimalist who thrives in the deep house tent? A vintage-loving folk enthusiast who only drinks out of mason jars? A pop maximalist with a color palette as bold as your dance moves? Fortunately, Holly Yashi has something for every festival persona. Let’s break it down.
Country & Americana – A Little Rustic, A Little Glam
Your vibe: You consider denim an elevated fabric and will defend cowboy boots in all terrains.
Your jewelry: Western-inspired, with a modern twist. It should look just as good at a festival as it does on a spontaneous road trip.
Holly Yashi Pick: The Bella Butterfly Earrings, Magnolia Necklace, and Roman Cuff —because nothing pairs with a guitar ballad like jewelry that sings as loud as you do on the drive home. (Bonus: They look just as good two-stepping in the dust as they do sipping a questionably large iced coffee at the airport the next day.)
Spotted at: Stagecoach, Austin City Limits, Sand In Boots Festival.
Soundtrack: Kacey Musgraves, Zach Bryan, Lainey Wilson, Tyler Childers.
Indie & Folk – Boho, But Make It Intentional
Your vibe: You own a record player, a tote bag from an independent bookstore, and an enviable hat collection.
Your jewelry: Nature-inspired, handcrafted, and pastel-hues. It should look like you picked it up at an artist’s market, even if you ordered it online in a moment of impulsive retail therapy.
Holly Yashi Pick: The The Mystic Falls Earrings, Eternity Necklace, and Aura Bracelet—the jewelry equivalent of a vintage fringe suede jacket you envision Stevie Knicks wearing to a tarot card reading
Spotted at: Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, BottleRock Napa Valley (for the ‘folk music but also fine dining’ crowd).
Soundtrack: Lana Del Rey, The Lumineers, Fleet Foxes, Maggie Rogers.
Rock & Punk – Studded, Stacked, and Ready to Rage
Your vibe: You know every word to Basket Case and consider eyeliner a gender-neutral essential.
Your jewelry: Bold, industrial, and with just enough sparkle to say, ‘I may mosh, but I also moisturize.’ Think niobium hues, rough edges, and a look-but-don’t-touch attitude.
Holly Yashi Pick: The Cyndi Earrings, Aster Necklace, and Stella Starburst Ring—because if you’re going to headbang, you might as well have something striking catching the light.
Spotted at: Lollapalooza, Riot Fest, BottleRock Napa Valley (because wine and punk can coexist).
Soundtrack: Green Day, The Linda Lindas, Foo Fighters, Måneskin.
Pop & Dance – Bright, Bold, and Ready for a Close-Up
Your vibe: You treat life like a music video. Your outfits are curated for maximum social engagement. You believe in glitter.
Your jewelry: Colorful, playful, and designed to catch the light (and the algorithm). If it moves when you dance, even better.
Holly Yashi Pick: The Goldie Earrings, Bella Butterfly Pendant Necklace, Kate Necklace, and stacks of the Everyday Bangle—because if there’s one place to embrace glimmer and neon, it’s a festival.
Spotted at: Coachella, Primavera Sound, Ultra Music Festival.
Soundtrack: Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Charli XCX, SZA.
Hip-Hop & R&B – Luxe, Lavish, and Dripping in Confidence
Your vibe: You own at least one pair of sunglasses you wear at night. Your jewelry is big, bold, and makes a statement before you even say a word.
Your jewelry: Major attitude, gold details, and high-glam finishes. If it doesn’t shine, why bother?
Holly Yashi Pick: The Ariel Earrings, Gemma Necklace, and Gloria Cuff—like a power move in accessory form.
Spotted at: Rolling Loud, Wireless Festival, Lovers & Friends.
Soundtrack: Travis Scott, Janelle Monáe, Megan Thee Stallion, Victoria Monét.
Electronic & House – Intense, Futuristic, and Made for the Strobe Lights
Your vibe: You believe in techno as therapy and have perfected the art of minimalist festival style.
Your jewelry: Sculptural, modern, and just futuristic enough to look like you might own an NFT.
Holly Yashi Pick: The Atlas Earrings and Capella Pendant Necklace—unique, bold, and designed for maximum impact.
Spotted at: EDC, Tomorrowland, Movement.
Soundtrack: Calvin Harris, Peggy Gou, Rüfüs Du Sol, Charlotte de Witte.
So, What’s Your Festival Jewelry Vibe?
Are you layering-up for that indie-folk flair? Going big and bold for hip-hop? Or fully embracing the neon glow of pop? Whatever your style, Holly Yashi has the perfect piece to make your festival look unforgettable.
