Sun God season is upon us, and your festival outfits need to be as iconic as this year’s lineup. Dominic Fike, Mike Sherm, and MICO are taking over UC San Diego, and this is not the year to show up in whatever was easiest to pull out of your top drawer. Whether you are shoving your way to the front row or dancing in the back, we’ve put together the ultimate outfit guide for you to match all your favorite artists’ sets.
1. No more ‘misses’ with this Dominic Fike fit!
Whether you’re in it for the vibes or just passing by, you don’t want to miss the chance to look completely Fike-ified for this headliner. A casual vibe that sways to the melodies should be your go-to. Pick up your favorite pair of long jean shorts and throw an oversized shirt on top of a long-sleeve shirt. Accessorize with gold and silver jewelry to perfect the “Don’t Forget About Me, Demos” look and stand out from the crowd. Add in those deep, earthy colors to complement the warm tones of his music, “Sunburn” style. With the addition of a fun belt and your favorite comfy shoes, you’ll create an outfit that you can’t “move on” from.
2. Get in that ‘Mike Sherm Mentality’!
If you’re repping the Bay Area like Mike Sherm this Sun God, you already know how to make layers work. While sunny San Diego may not carry Karl the Fog’s signature chill, it’s the perfect excuse to finally show off your scarf game. This versatile fashion piece can be used in multiple ways: Wrap it as a top or loop it as a belt — the options are endless. Pair a bright, printed scarf top with micro shorts and gold jewelry to match his “Gold Wrapper” song, or keep it simple with an all-black outfit and let the scarf shine on its own. Finally, throw on some tinted sunglasses to show off that rapper energy and get ready to dance away to the upbeat sets. Whether you grew up in the Bay or are just borrowing its aesthetic, this fit will send you straight into “Sherm World.”
3. Dance away the ‘Tears in your eyes’ with MICO
You may usually listen to MICO’s music while bawling on a late-night drive, but Sun God is the perfect time to channel your inner main character in a MICO-soundtracked music video. Think: running through a flowery meadow — or, in this case, RIMAC Field. His alternative pop beats and relatable lyrics will have you moving and grooving, so flowy festival wear is your best bet. Whether that’s a maxi skirt paired with a colorful boho top covered in sequins to match his “DREAMBOY” album cover, or a loose button-up shirt with some dark oversized jorts is up to you. Don’t forget to accessorize — this is still a festival, after all. To replicate MICO’s look, try digging up an old baseball cap from the back of your closet. Worried about people recognizing that you’re not typically a hat-wearer? Then a simple pair of sunglasses, silver chains, and black boots will complete your MICO-inspired look.
Regardless of which set you’re showing up for this year, the most important thing is that you show up feeling like yourself. Whatever you choose, wear it with confidence because that’s more iconic than this year’s lineup.
