Casual Style Style Summer Style The Getup

Chad Slavin

I love THE GETUPs!!! But what if I struggle with even the simplest of clothing? Such as gym attire… You should do those too!

Sandals? Come on, what are we in the 90’s again?

Alex Bear

I only wear Sandals on one occasion, and that is the gym locker room. I hate them, and think they make you look like… well, they make you look like you’re from the 90s (Seth Green in sandals and visor)

That being said, I work at a huge IT corporation with a very lax dress code, and will say everyone wears sandals (well except me who looks out of place in my Red Wings)… And they especially love Birkenstock… so I feel it is a fair recommendation… plus when the whole place turns into mud, I would much rather be cleaning off rubber sandals the next day, rather than canvas shoes.

Sandals only belong in the 90’s?

Alex Bear

I’m not sure which 90s though, since they were invented thousands of years ago

Having just come back from Lollapalooza this weekend, I wore a very similar outfit.

light blue/white repeating wave pattern tank top
light blue short sleeve band collar shirt
olive green Outlier free way shorts
white vans with boot laces like you posted last week (although the shoes were brown by the end of the weekend)
Ray Bans wayfarers
wore a blue topo designs hat two of the days

Had a black ‘blocktech’ rain jacket from Uniqlo that I thought I was going to need, but really didn’t. Ended up keeping water bottles and sunscreen in the pockets and carrying it around the entire time (also used it as a blanket for us when we sat and watched bands).

no necklace, no watch, just the wristbands you had to wear.

I’d probably want a watch with more water resistance in case of a downpour (looking at you lolla) but otherwise solid. Might have to look into those rubber birks too. Festivals can get real muddy.
