The Governors Ball lineup is scorching hot this year, just like the New York City weather will be from June 6 to 8!

And the best thing to do for festivals like this is to be as comfortable and cool as possible – so we're here to help.

Some trendy looks that are in this season include Barbiecore gingham, coastal cowgirl, and cowboycore styles.

For the Barbiecore-inspired look, we suggest going with any gingham fabric like Barbie's iconic pink dress in the movie. Paired with white boots or sandals, this look will surely have you standing out at the fest.

Coastal cowgirl and cowboycore include various pieces you can mix and match to complete the look. Start with a basic crop or tank top and throw on a flowy coverup with denim shorts or a flowy skirt. And, of course, be sure to finish the outfit off with a cowboy hat and some stylish boots!

Another popular look you is the viral no-pants trend that gained popularity through Taylor Swift's Eras Tour outfits!

A bejeweled top with matching bottoms, like a skirt or loose pants, makes the perfect shiny festival look. Jazz it up with a few friendship bracelets and some fishnets or mesh tights and you're good as gold.

Are you curious about what accessories to wear? We've got you covered.

Make your creative outfits stand out with shiny jewelry (that you wouldn't mind losing) and a hat with sunglasses. Or, try out some pretty hair accessories like bows and ribbons to compliment any look!

If you're bringing a bag, check to see if it complies with the following rules: Small purses and fanny packs with one pocket do not have to be clear, but anything larger must be clear.

Hydration packs can also be brought into the festival grounds as long as they are emptied and have no more than two pockets.

If you plan on sitting down to enjoy the incredible lineup of food at Gov Ball, you may want to consider bringing a towel or blanket to sit on!

We also highly suggest bringing a small sunscreen and hand sanitizer to reapply throughout the event.

Last but not least, remember that you'll be on your feet a good portion of the day, so comfortable shoes are a must.
