Last week you saw the “boots on the ground” overview of Newport Folk Fest’s music, but It’s time to focus on the part of the festival we care about almost as much as the sound: what was everyone wearing?

Shop like you’re at Newport Folk Festival
There were almost more stores than performers! Particular standouts among the clothing and accessories vendors all had stunning selections of handmade, repurposed, and vintage items for sale. Bold prints and classic silhouettes defined Everydays, the handpainted workwear and streetwear brand that many artists were sporting on stage throughout the weekend. Slow Process, brainchild of Sam Zollman, incorporates vintage textiles into masculine silhouettes to rethink classic wardrobe staples. We had the privilege of meeting Hannah Ross and learning about her company Hanoux, located in upstate New York, which sells hand dyed garments and offers a custom dyeing service to breathe new life into old pieces. For the second year in a row, Folk Vintage stood out as a market with high quality pieces for very reasonable prices (I copped a gorgeous leather backpack for $42). Check out a curated list of vendors below!
