Among the many summer activities to look forward to (beach outings, weekend getaways, outdoor barbeques), the season's boisterous music festivals always top our list. Nowadays, music fests offer more than just a series of incredible performances; they're also a live fashion show, as so many attendees arrive outfitted in chic, warm-weather ensembles. Just remember to stick to one rule when you're jamming out to your favorite indie bands at Coachella or Lollapalooza: comfort is key! Thankfully, Belle by Sigerson Morrison's spring collection offers practical, stylish footwear well-suited for dancing in all day-and night-long. Check out our picks and don't forget to pack your bags with one of these functional yet fashionable kicks when you're en route to a summer festival!

1. Tamila Sandal ($235)
Cool rivets give these black and white criss-cross sandals a dose of rock 'n' roll attitude, while a secure buckle closure means your shoes won't go flying as you're rocking out (yes, it's happened to us before).
2. Maya Lace Up Sandal ($175, coming soon)
Featuring a trendy tribal print and turban knot, these espadrille flats serve as the perfect accent for a breezy summer outfit. Wear these stunners with cut-off shorts or a skirt, the better to show off the cool ankle straps.
3. Valen Skimmer ($225)
These skimmers sport eye-catching color, studs, and intricate cutouts to add a little verve to your getup. Plus, the shoe's pointy-toe shape makes it a fun, work-appropriate choice of footwear once all the festival madness is over.
4. Braiden Cork Wedge ($250)
These cork wedges offer a cute option for style gurus in the pursuit of stature! Not only will these heels lend you over 4 inches for a clear view of the stage, their versatile neutral shade suits any festival ensemble you happen to toss together.
5. Randy Flat ($175)
Though these T-strap sandals would feel just at home by the beach or poolside, there's no better time to sport a pair of neon patent leather kicks than at a summer music fest. Use them to complement an equally vibrant ensemble, or tone down the sunny yellow hue with a monochrome look.
6. Abie Gladiator Sandal ($240)
For those in the sartorially-savvy set, strappy gladiator sandals are often a summer staple. These shoes come in wear-with-anything brown leather and are cushy enough for standing in all day and swaying to the beat of the music.
7. Camila Sandal ($250)
Easy slip-on, slip-off shoes make it convenient for you to go barefoot at a moment's notice (a common occurrence at music festivals). Chic details, like black and white braided straps, elevate this flip flop-style pair so they're stylish enough for weekends when you're not at Sasquatch or Outside Lands!
