Thousands of young Aussies flocked to Adelaide’s Laneway Festival and revelled in ‘revealing’ summer fashion, with breezy tank tops, bikini tops, short pants and open midriffs the dominant themes of the day.

The mercury soared to 29C at Bonython Park in the city centre on Friday and the crowd of youngsters, full of smiles and high on friendship, enjoyed an incredible line-up of musical talent that included Stormzy and Dominic Fike.

Cheyanne Howard, Nevaeh Luke and Piper Monfries captured the theme of the day, with the happy ladies decked out in bikini tops and short pants matched with sport shoes and boots.

Cheyanne sported a see-through white dress over her blue-and-white bikini and all three ladies wore a pair of cool sunnies on their heads.

Eowyn Hannan, Maayan Whittaker and Alex Wallace, meanwhile, showed off the exposed midriff theme, with all three decked out in light, breezy tops cut above the bellybutton, short jeans and then shoes.

Some of the men, however, were not as tightly configured and showed off a ‘daggy’ look of loose long pants and daggy shirts.

Zany fashion choices also permeated the scene.

A distinct ‘hippie’ aesthetic was also present, a reflection of the freedom that a music concert in summer delivers.

One wears all black, the man in the middle wears an open Hawaiian-esque shirt and the other sports a bright pink cap and pink skirt.

It was a hot day in Adelaide Friday but it did not hit the levels of Sydney Laneway outing, which saw temperatures reach into the mid-30s at Olympic Park.

Maya Castronini, Zara Parletta and Marietta Lalidis held big blue handheld fans to beat back the heat.

In addition to keeping cool, the fans looked splendid as elegant accessories.

Laneway now moves to Melbourne on Saturday before wrapping up in Perth on Sunday.
