It’s time to get a little country! This weekend the Boots and Hearts festival brought some of the biggest country music acts to Ontario—as well as thousands of cowboy hat-wearing fans. Held in the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, the three-day festival rivalled Coachella in size with amusement park rides at one end and endless fields for camping at the other. And if anyone knows how to camp out under the stars in style, it’s country folk.
While festival style favourites—like crop tops—were plentiful, when you’re singing and dancing along to acts like Miranda Lambert and The Band Perry, the dress code is less flower crowns and more bandanas.
Channeling a similar look from what we saw at the Calgary Stampede, Boots and Hearts 2013 attendees were certainly all about the festival’s namesake. Paired with floral sundresses, lace shorts and Daisy Duke cut-offs, cowboy boots added some western edge—or is it southern swagger? The second biggest style statement was, without a doubt, plaid, with Wrangler snap shirts being an essential item for many once the sun went down. And from chambray shirts to dark jeans, denim’s versatility made it a mainstay all weekend long.
Thinking of dusting off your boots for next year’s festival? Check out this sweet batch of Boots and Hearts 2013 street style photos, shot by Toronto-based photographer Anne Peacock, and let us know which looks you love!
