    Your kids are never too young to start digging Schoolboy Q and Deafheaven. Wait, that's not true. We spotted far too many babies at Pitchfork. Still, this kid is pretty adorable, with a dad straight outta Apocalypse Now.

    Festival staples (vintage NBA jersey, colored hair) meets crazy cat lady layabout (dirty robe) in this St. Vincent fan.

  3. In some way, shape or form, Animal Collective is always at this festival. In 2014, it was no different, with Avey Tare playing the Blue Stage on Friday, and this dude's neck on Sunday.

  4. When rocking the Boy Scout look, it helps to appear as whistle-clean and pure as a milk-drinking, Leave It to Beaver–watching youth. Otherwise, you come off as a creep. We spotted this Scout leader multiple times on Sunday, always smiling.

    And you think Marge Simpson is unrealistic.

    …largely due to to rising avant-R&B star FKA Twigs. With her punk-kabuki look, Tahliah Barnett looks like something out of a William Gibson novel.

    Cadien James of local garage rock act Twin Peaks, which kicked off the Saturday slate, didn't let a broken ankle slow his roll. He tackled the entire fest in a wheelchair.

    Camouflage and anime wigs go together like pulled pork inside cream puffs, but those were on sale at Puffs of Doom, too.

    Annie Clark of St. Vincent rocked a tight silver 'do, black leather mini and an explosion of gold on her shoulder. The look fit her sound—controlled cool with burst of color.

Another summer weekend in Chicago, another music festival in Chicago. Though, at Pitchfork, what you wear seems to matter more than even the bands. Strolling across the baseball diamonds of Union Park, you can tell much thought had gone into which vintage NBA jersey to wear (the Phoenix Suns were oddly popular), which color leggings to wear, which strap of the overalls to let hang off the shoulder. And some folks just have effortless cool—especially those on stage.

We dug through our collection of photographs from Friday, Saturday and Sunday to select the most memorable fashion plates we saw strutting about the grounds.
