Treefort 2025 Recap from the Streets of Boise

Treefort always brings the music, but this year, it was the street style that caught our eye just as much as the sound. From downtown sidewalks to backlot stages, the people of Boise showed up in outfits that reflected creativity, confidence, and Idaho’s signature blend of practicality and self-expression.

Boise Fashion Week spent the weekend talking with local artists, performers, and festivalgoers about what they were wearing and why. The looks we saw weren’t curated for trends. They were rooted in thrift culture, individuality, and the kind of fashion that says something before you even speak.

As Tyler from MYLO BYBEE put it, “Fashion is a visual representation of the energy, attitude, and emotion we bring to our performances. It’s not about putting on a persona. It’s about amplifying who we are.”

That spirit was everywhere.

Fashion in Boise reflects creativity, sustainability, and story

Style in Idaho often starts at the thrift store and ends with something totally original. We talked with Esme and Rachel, two Treefort attendees whose outfits looked like they came from a vintage magazine, but were completely secondhand.

“Most of this is thrifted or borrowed from my friends,” Esme told us.

Their look was built around rich colors, textured layers, and nods to the seventies and eighties.

“I wasn’t really into styling until I met Esme,” Rachel added. “She pulled something together one day and I thought, wow, this is really cute.”

What they wore felt like a love letter to Idaho’s fashion culture. It was thoughtful, collaborative, and unpretentious. It reminded us that here, the most interesting pieces usually come with a story.

Custom jackets and personal flair took the stage

Madisun Proof, a local rapper and artist from Maestre Studios, brought energy and intention to Treefort—both through her performance and her style. She and her band, The Puddin’s, wore custom bomber jackets designed just for their set. Each one carried her name, creating a visual that was instantly memorable and totally Boise.

Under the jacket, she revealed her signature mix of thrifted pieces, athletic layers, frills, and standout accessories.

“Most of these things are thrifted or second-hand stuff,” she said, proudly showing the details that made the look hers.

She also reminded us how fashion and support go hand in hand. Buying local merch, wearing artist-made pieces, and showing up in something meaningful is one of the most direct ways Idahoans support their creative community. In a culture where authenticity matters, style becomes a form of connection.

Boise artists wear their influences proudly

When we asked Tyler from MYLO BYBEE about his style, he didn’t hesitate to reference his roots.

“I come from the generation of studded belts, lip rings, jet-black hair falling over my eyes,” he said. “That cultural influence never really faded. It still plays a huge role in how I express myself both on and off stage.”

His outfit was simple but true to him. A flannel, jeans, and a ball cap. No costume. No switch-up for the show.

“I’m big on thrifting and comfort,” he said. “I don’t overthink it. What matters is that it feels like me.”

His band doesn’t coordinate looks either. Each member brings their own energy, shaped by their background and musical taste.

“What you see on stage is who we are every day. That first impression matters, but it has to be real.”

This is what fashion looks like in Idaho

Treefort 2025 made one thing clear. In Boise, fashion is personal. It is made up of secondhand pieces, reworked favorites, and clothes passed between friends. It is inspired by music, shaped by community, and grounded in personal authenticity.

Whether someone was wearing a thrifted blazer, a custom jacket, or a shared band tee, they were wearing it with intention. Boise style is not about what’s trending. It is about wearing what reflects who you are and where you come from.
