Lollapalooza 2013 fashion, in a word, was weird. Less about edgy originality than regurgitated trends, this year's festival looks were an amalgam of Woodstock meets Malibu in the '80s mashed with early aughts club kid.
Tattoos, flower crowns, neon tank tops, ironic 80s t-shirts and a sea of butt-cheek exposing acid-wash cutoff jeans reigned supreme; Plenty of festival-goers chose pre-fab costumes like The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Spiderman, while others doused themselves in body glitter and stick-on jewels.
