A City Girl’s Twist on Festival Fashion

Embracing their city roots and infusing a hint of festival flair, The Style Line’s Rachel Schwartzmann and Jane Espiritu show us their go-to Gov Ball uniform and share a curated playlist featuring artists in this year’s line-up…


Isn’t there something so invigorating about live music? Think about how you feel when you’re at a show and in the middle of a crowd: Its as though you’re in the eye of a storm. A calm washes over you in the midst of dance-infused chaos, the deep thump of the speakers and a clear mutual admiration between the musician on stage and the engaged silhouettes in the audience. In these moments its clear that music has the power to alleviate the noise in our lives. More often than not, it helps us find what we might not have otherwise known we were looking for to begin with.

Now that Governor’s Ball is only two days away, there’s no question that I’m looking forward to unearthing my own discoveries during the upcoming festivities – which also extend to my personal style.

As a first time festival dweller I’ve found that in matters of dressing, the true challenge lies in marrying my affinity for city-inspired style with the bohemian ease that has monopolized festival fashion. To get my sartorial juices flowing, I enlisted our amazing graphic designer Jane Espiritu to help me peruse through some of Free People’s beautiful American-made and artisan pieces. The result was a finding a fail-proof uniform that looks great and feels even better. Comfort is the name of the game, right?

It was for Jane and I at least, as we finalized our looks for the weekend ahead. From printed maxis, to neutral tunics topped off with colorful vintage accessories, we discovered a happy style medium catering to both the city and (Randall’s) island dwellers within us.

See for yourself and check out some of the highlights from our style session below… Make way Gov Ballers. This city girl is festival bound.
