Lollapalooza kicks off tomorrow, but if the current weather forecast — temperatures are predicted to be in the high 80s with possible thunderstorms — has left you a little bummed, don't stress. We culled the smartest pieces made for the rain and shine; think lightweight anoraks, cool shorts, rugged ankle boots, and nomadic jewels. Before you know it, you'll be one step closer to achieving festival fashion greatness in no time at all. Shop our top 10 picks now.

The longer sleeves on this sweet lace-embellished maxi will protect your arms from too much sun exposure and, conversely, flash thunderstorms.

There's no need to pack your weekender with too much stuff. On the jewelry front, all you need is this pair of exotic hoop earrings — perfect for shaking and dancing.

When the storms come, cover up in this fun lightweight anorak.

Sonia By Sonia Rykiel Lightweight Anorak ($372)

The potentially muddy conditions are not conducive to open-toe shoes. These rugged boots are the perfect substitute — doesn't it look like something Kate Moss would wear to the Glastonbury music fest?

Mango Suede Ankle Boot ($150)

We can't think of a cooler way to cover up from the rain or (too much) shine.

American Apparel Unisex Denim Basic Cap ($29)

Instead of the usual pair of denim shorts, we suggest you switch things up and try out this studded army-green pair.

Topshop Army Green Studded Shorts ($70)

Balance out the minidress silhouette with rugged boots and an oversized shirt . . .

Maurie & Eve Wasson Singlet Dress ($169)

. . . like this awesome camouflage shirt (stolen from the men's section!).

Wallace & Barnes Camouflage Shirt ($168)

It's all about balance; this slouched rocker tank is ideal for pairing with cutoffs or layered over a minidress.

Studded Graphic Print T-Shirt ($36)

No fear, this densely knit leather and crochet bag will protect your essentials from the wet weather or even melting in the heat.
