Elegance can be hard to define, but if it can be defined as the ability to endure adversity with grace, then these Melbourne Laneway Festival fans sure had it in Melbourne this weekend. Despite the heat, the inability to move around the site and the police intervention, they were some of the best looking, best dressed people Melbourne has on offer.

Levi's may have sponsored the event, but Raybans seemed to be official eyewear merchandiser by pure volume. There were so many pairs bobbing around it was as though they were issued with each ticket.

High-waisted denim shorts were de rigueur, as were top knots on gals and long fringes with undercuts on lads. Shoes are always at risk in the festival environment, but that didn't stop those with pristine white sneakers or handmade leather shoes by Rocco stepping out into the mire.
