LET THEM
T
SHINE
here is something unforgettably
whimsical about going to a
summer music festival. Maybe
it’s the music, or the connection
to nature, or simply being surrounded by
like-minded people with wild spirits and
gargantuan imaginations. With so many
creative minds buzzing in one place, it
comes as no surprise when that artistic
expression manifests itself into some odd
fashion choices. Decorative, over-the-top
flower crowns, rainbow-colored hair, webs
of densely beaded necklaces, bejeweled
eyes; it seems as if we’ve seen it all.
However, this latest festival fashion
trend may really be the most surprising of
the surprising.
We’ve all heard of the campaign to
“free the nipple,” but what about the new
campaign to free the nipple and then cover it
in glitz and glitter? That’s right, I present to
you the latest trend in summer music festival
fashion: glitter boobs.
This outrageous summer look first
blossomed in popularity at the UK
Glastonbury music festival in late June of
2017. The early summer heat and the blazing
sun created the perfect storm for an optimal
take off of such an odd trend. The glitter and
gems seemed extra enticing in the sunshine
while brave souls found the incentive to shed
some skin to stay cool. People everywhere
were dazzled and instantly inspired by the
new, interesting fashion choice. It came to
no surprise that such a glamorous and unique
trend found its way over to the US a year
later at Coachella.
Indio, California could be seen from
space with the amount of courageous festival
goers wearing their glitter boobs or, “disco
t*ts,” proudly and beautifully. This new
summer festival fashion trend is both artistic
and revolutionary. The stunning colo rs and
unbelievable intricacies left many astonished
while the freedom of being bare-chested
gave many people confidence in their bodies
and respect for each others’.
The look is characterized by quite
literally covering your bare boobs (or tank
tops for those who are more modest) in
glitter and gems. Some festival attendees
54
chose to go for a more splattered look while
others decorated their chests in precision and
symmetry. There are designs with one or two
colors while others threw on an explosion
of colors. Some people decided to create
elaborate patterns with gems and rhinestones
while others ditched them and focused on
just glitter. Regardless, the glitter boob
fashion trend is what you make of it. Each
design is unique, creative, and stunning, all
representing the freedom that comes with
those extraordinary summer festival vibes.

This look can be as easy to achieve or
as challenging to achieve as you want it to
be. However, before you get started,
remember that this works best with a
courageous heart and a creative mind.
If you’ve got those, this look is definitely
for you.
First off, you’ll probably want a plan of
attack. Decide what type of look you want
to go for, what patterns you’ll want, how
much of your chest you want to dazzle up,
and what colors you’ll need. The next step is
