Made in America 2014: 5 fashion essentials

Just because you can’t wear that headdress you’ve been waiting to debut doesn’t mean you can’t still stand out stylishly at this year’s Made In America festival.

This festival season, controversy has ensued especially over the use of perceived cultural appropriation.

Just because you can't wear that headdress you've been waiting to debut doesn't mean you can't still stand out stylishly at this year's Made in America festival.

Here are five pieces from your favorite stores and local lines to add to your Parkway ensemble.



1. Kimono: This cream colored kimono is a cool cover-up for any almost-too-skimpy festival outfit. Kimonos have been all the rage this summer and the trend doesn't seem to be letting up. H&M Patterned Kimono, $39.95.

2. LOVE Earrings: Even though MIA has expanded to LA this year, Philly will always be the first (and best) city to host the star-studded music event. Show Philly pride with these LOVE Park studs from Philly's own Swag boutique at 935 N. 2nd Street. LOVE Stud Brushed Gold, $42.

3. Crop top: American Apparel boasts that their products are made in America. Why not rock some American made clothes at the Made In America festival? For emphasis, try this American flag print crop top on for size.  US Flag Print Cotton Spandex Crop Tank, $30.

4. Boyfriend jeans: For the more laid back concertgoer in you, try these baggy favorites on for size. You won't look like everyone else in their high-waist shorts and skater skirts, and the loose fit will still ensure comfort in the weekend's high temperatures. H&M Boyfriend Low Jeans, $39.95.

5. Baseball cap: You'll need more than sunscreen to protect your skin from hours of standing outside on the Parkway. This funky cap from local streetwear brand The Decades is just the thing you'll want to stay sensible and still stylish at Made In America. "Wild Times" 6 Panel Collab with Radlands, $34.
