19 Outfits NYC's Coolest Wore to Afropunk This Weekend
If you live in NYC or spent any amount of time on Instagram this weekend, you're probably aware that Afropunk descended upon Brooklyn for its annual two-day music festival. The lineup was especially exciting this year, stacked with favorites like FKA Twigs, Leon Bridges, and Kamasi Washington, but it was the festival's street style that really grabbed our attention this year.
Unlike other music festivals where the outfits all blend together after a while, Afropunk brings together an inclusive group of NYC creatives, which makes for some pretty epic street style. To showcase it, we're rounding up the coolest looks we spotted at the festival, and they all speak for themselves. Prepare to see one-of-a-kind DIY pieces, eye-catching color palettes, and an emerging trend that's officially festival style–approved: sheer. Scroll down to fill up on inspiration.
