This is our little ode to that perfect separate, so keep reading for our 4 fave ways to wear ‘em!
Look #1

Palazzo pants and a lacy, smocked bralette: the perfect look for those Ferris wheel and concession stand pics. Mixing prints and textures allows for everyone’s fun and creative side to shine through. After all, festival season is all about getting wild and free with your wardrobe!
Look #2

These super-soft flares are excellent for casual running around and non-stop dancing. Make them pop with a bright, neon graphic tee and stand out in the festival crowd! Neon is our new fave for festival season (and we know it’s yours, too!) so own the look with electric hues and iconic graphics.
Look #3

Go from those hot desert days to cool valley nights in this elevated festival look! Pair these striped flare soft pants with a buttoned-front top to show off your eye-catching boho style. Keep it off-the-shoulder so you can soak up that sun-kissed desert glow.
Look #4
If your favorite artist is playing mid-day, then you def want to make sure your style is as light as possible for that crazy dance pit. Show up to the field in a ruffled tube top or bandeau to keep it chill, paired with flare pants in our #1 pattern: the border print.
With endless ways to style this season’s fave soft pants, you can really make any style your own. Don’t forget babe, fest is a lifestyle—so these pants will last you all summer long! Find these and sooo many more amazing festival looks at rue21.
