Festival Fashion The Right Wardrobe For A Music Festival

By David Burns


Summer is here, and for many of us, it can only mean one thing: Festivals! That's right people; the festival season is upon us. If it's your first time frequenting some of the country's biggest festivals, then you will want to be prepared. Aside from the usual advice (bring a tent, bring wet wipes, bring plenty of water, etc), there is one area that many people - particularly women - worry about, and that is, 'what to wear at a festival?' Well, do not worry anymore; here we discuss the ins and outs of festival fashion, from wellies to macs.

You will also need fresh T-shirts to change into every day. It's no secret that festivals can be hot during the day and even hotter at night, what with crowds packing into stage areas to dance to their favorite bands - and showers can be hard to come by. So bring plenty of clean T-shirts that'll ensure you both look and smell good. What's more, the right T-shirts could see you making some new friends too.

Many people go along to these festivals purely for the atmosphere and the music, caring very little about their wardrobes, and you can take a leaf out of their books. Understated is always the way to go, stick to tried and tested clothing, such as cut off jeans or mini denim skirts, team with a funky graphic tees and you will look trendy without having to try too hard, or better yet, spend any money.

For guys you can't beat a pair of light chinos and a graphic T-shirt. The trousers may be long but the fabric will let your skin breathe and they will keep your legs clean. Graphic T-shirts are just a great way of expressing your personality in a practical way as they are compact and look fine if creased.

Suitable footwear is also vital. Most likely, you're going to be spending all day in the same pair, so buying new shoes that haven't been broken in yet isn't recommended. Obviously, if you're expecting a lot of rain and mud, wellies are the logical choice.

These styles of Mackintosh are great because they go with casual clothing, such as jeans and a t-shirt, or combat trousers and knitted jumpers, so they never look out of place with contemporary fashions. You want to show your fun-loving side when at a festival, so select clothing that is bright, bold, and a little playful.

In terms of the style of clothing you should choose, you can never go wrong with a modern bohemian look. If the weather permits, opt for a style of footwear with funky fringing effects, or a funky pair of gladiator sandals (but make sure you bring back up in the form of a pair of trusty wellies). Flat soles are better, because you will be on your feet a lot of the time: only bring heels if you are a hardened wearer, otherwise, you may just find that your choice of footwear ruins the experience.

Having something people can relate to on your T-shirt, like a retro cartoon T-shirt or something quirky or funny, makes it a lot easier for people to start up a conversation with you. For example, if you've plumped for a Batman T-shirt to proudly display your affection for the caped crusader, you could find yourself conversing with strangers about the latest Batman flick - or arguing that the dark knight is absolutely better than Superman.
