Here’s what festivalgoers wore to VELD on day one and two
Festivalgoer Aley says that she swears by all-black looks.
“I’m always pretty much in all-black, but a little bit of colour in the hair for the pop,” she told Now Toronto.
Aley also said she “always” matches her nails with her blue hair.
Despite the otherwise all-black look, she likes to make those pieces, “fun, different, cutouts or lace,” she said.
Her shirt is thrifted, and her pants are from Uniqlo, Aley shared.
Festivalgoer Anevay wore a Y2K-themed outfit with glasses from Amazon, an Artizia top, a thrifted shirt she turned into a skirt, microshorts from D,Depop, and a bag her mom had gifted her for her birthday.
She and her friends love to thrift and exchange clothes, Anevay told Now Toronto.
But to her, what’s most important in an outfit is that “It’s movable and breathable,” Anevay said.
Festivalgoer Colin loves Helluva Boss, an adult animated musical comedy web series, and pulled his inspo from there.
“If you know Loona from Helluva Boss, I’m just doing a male version,” he told Now Toronto.
“I had the little shirt, whole werewolf thing, the only thing I’m missing is a tail, but I couldn’t get that delivered in time,” Colin explained.
He bought a 3-day VIP pass, so he’s carefully planned his outfits for the next few days.
“This is my third year of coming to VELD, so I wanted to throw something very hard,” Colin said.
On Friday, he wore a Y2K-themed outfit; on Saturday, Loona, and is planning to wear an apocalypse-themed outfit on Sunday.
“I just wanted to show up, bring the hype, and go as hard as I could,” Colin said.
