It's 100 degrees out, you are sweaty, your ears are popping, you are neck-in-armpit between 100 other sweaty smelly people, and you still want to dance?
That can only mean one thing - that it's Summer Festival season, which tends to bring out the best and worst not only of musical performances - but also in street fashion.
Below, one of our savvy street photographers, Gabi Porter, shot the two day music festival Capitol Hill Block Party, which is (nonsensically) based out in Seattle and featured acts like The Noisettes, Sonic Youth and Japandroids. Who looked breezy, sweaty, douchy, messy, cool, calm, svelte and rockin'? Check it below (and look out for more next week when we shoot SF's Outside Lands!)
Capitol Hill Block Party (July 24th-25th), Seattle
Babe alert: these jumpers are guaranteed to let in the breeze while holding in all other necessities.
Hipsters alert: Vintage hawaiian tees and boat shoes? LATFH look out.
"Look ma! Me and Sammy got matching shades so if we get lost, we just need to look for the pink blinding frames."
"We came all the way out of our tree house for this?"
"It took me 10.5 hours to match my bandaid to my shirt. But it was worth it."
Torn and chained is the new....black.
How do you get graphic textile dresses to match with graphic textured tights? Gold shoes. Obvi.
A skipper and a brick layer. Oh my.
Nerdy fresh...
Who needs clothes when you have.....PJs?
Raving hipster with what looks like condoms for earrings.
The Perfect Boho Cool: Comfy yet bold-colored skirt. Check. Comfy flip flops, slinky looped jewelry. Check. Sling-back leather satchel check. Check. (Now if only she remembered her bra....Doh.)
