Festival Ready, with Santai:
How to Style Your Resortwear for Festival Season
At Santai, we’re all about effortless elegance and wardrobe pieces that take you from destination to everyday with ease. While we’re not your typical festival wear brand, some of our signature styles happen to double as the perfect looks for long weekends under the sun, dancing to your favorite bands, and chasing golden hour moments.
Whether you're headed to Coachella, Splendour or heading out to see your favorite band, these Santai staples can be styled your way—with comfort, confidence, and a little sparkle.
Here’s how to make Santai your go-to for festival season (and what to pair with it).
1. The Robe: A Statement Layer
Our short and long robes are designed for slow mornings and sun-drenched afternoons—but they truly shine when worn as festival layers. Lightweight, flowy, and full of movement, they instantly elevate any look. Go elevated neutral or stand-out print with our Halcyon Days Robes.
How to style it:
– Belt it for a chic, defined silhouette over denim shorts
– Throw it over your bikini or crop top
– Let it flow open for an ethereal vibe at sunset
Whether you go mini or floor-length, you’ll turn heads in the best way!
2. The Beaded Bikini
Festivals are the perfect excuse to wear swimwear as part of your outfit, and our beaded bikinis offer an understated accent (without going over the top) and our Kaia Bikini Top fits the bill
How to style it:
– Pair with an open shirt (you'll want our Palma in boyfriend shirt in black), vintage denim and moto boots for an effortlessly cool look
- Or, underneath a matching crochet set, layered with your favorite festival accessories
3. The French Linen Shirt: Timeless & Breezy
The Palma Linen Boyfriend Shirt is your festival MVP. Made from breathable, semi-sheer French linen and cut in a relaxed, oversized silhouette, it’s designed for warm days and cool, carefree nights.
How to style it:
– Tie it at the waist over a bikini or bralette
– Wear it open with a pair of high-waisted shorts
– Roll the sleeves, add boots, and you’re good to go.
This shirt is all about versatility, and it just gets softer the more you wear it.
4. The Feminine Wrap Top: Flirty Meets Easy
Our Riva Linen Tie Top is light, adjustable, and subtly romantic. It offers just enough skin with its flattering front-tie design—ideal for dancing, lounging, and everything in between.
How to style it:
– Pair with hi-rise denim shorts or or a tiered mini skirt
– Add a splash of color with a headscarf
– Wear it with cowboy boots for an effortless contrast
5. A Maxi Dress: From Beach Strolls to Festival Fields
Nothing says freedom like a maxi dress—easy to wear, flattering on every figure. Whether it’s a soft knit or lightweight cotton, the right dress can be a go-to for when you want to feel carefree, feminine, and perfectly put-together. Our Polka Dot Maxi Dress will help you feel just that.
How to style it:
– Pair with a wide-brim hat and oversized sunglasses for a glam/ chic vibe
– Finish with wrap sandals or ankle boots—depending on your vibe (or how much walking you’re doing)
Floaty, feminine, and unfussy—your one-and-done outfit for all-day dancing and golden hour lounging.
Festival-Ready Add-Ons
To really round out your look, here are some key items to complement your Santai pieces and capture that carefree festival vibe:
