Since 2006, Osheaga Music and Arts festival has established itself as the largest festival of its genre in Canada. The multi day indie music festival in Montreal is held at numerous outdoor stages at Parc Jean-Drapeau on Montreal’s Saint Helen’s Island. The festival attracts over 135,000 individuals across North America and Europe. The festival goers are quite diverse, packed with thousands of people ranging from breezy, summery styles to bold, statement pieces. While American fashionistas have Coachella, this is a perfect opportunity for Canadian trendsetters to showcase their bohemian chic festival style. If you haven’t already gone shopping for your Osheaga outfits, here are our top picks for putting together a fabulous and comfortable ensemble.

bw romper

1) Call to Arms Off-the-Shoulder Romper, $89: This striped, off the shoulder romper is a perfect statement piece for Osheaga 2016. The flirty off the shoulder neckline has been reigning supreme on the season’s cat walks and also leaving its mark among many celebrities. We love the bold black and white stripes which are sure to seize attention.

black floppy hat

2) Nine West Packable Floppy Hat, $34This black fedora is a complimentary accessory to the striped romper. A large floppy hat is great for festival season to save the face from the intense heat during the warm weather. Its large brim allows for great coverage of the face, while adding to the trendy look.

black gladiators

3) Sparra Gladiator Sandals, $49These Steve Madden caged gladiator sandals are on the style-rise. These shoes can spice up any outfit for an updated look. The strappy, ankle high sandals glam up the understated romper and create quite the chic bohemian outfit.

red fringe

4) Krista Crossbody Red, $99This red leather purse with fringe detailing looks great paired with a bohemian outfit. The red colouring offers a contrasting touch to the striped romper. A small crossbody shoulder bag is a key element as it acts as a fashionable version of a fanny pack. It is both compact and cute, creating a perfect finishing touch to an Osheaga boho chic outfit.
