Festival Fashion For An Enjoyable Summer

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.

In most cases, girls will prefer to step out in short shorts or dresses with leggings and topped off by a loose cardigan that can be buttoned up if cold. This should tick all the right boxes. It's also a very compact set of clothing. You can accessorize liberally with practical items like sun hats and sunglasses. Shawls and scarves are also very trendy as these can act as another layer to wrap up in if you get chilly.

Looking your best is always important, even at a festival. If you're camping, you won't have full length mirrors to check out your style and being able to make a quick getaway from the campsite to the stage is important if you want a good spot at the front. That means having a pre-planned look - either something you've worn before or something you've bought specially - can give you a head start.

OK, so shorts and skirts are great if the sun is shining, but what do you do if it rains? Well, again, wellies are essential. So too is a mackintosh. Plenty of different styles of mackintosh are on sale now, and are perfect for festival-goer. The trick is to select a style that reflects current fashion trends, any with a funky graphic print, or floral print, or animal print, is ideal. Always choose PVC or other type of water-resistant material.

Festivals are a fantastic place to meet new people and wearing interesting T-shirts is just one of the way to grab some attention - so pick a few of your favorites and get ready to find some great new friends. In terms of color schemes it's best to avoid lights and pastels as these are likely to get stained fast.

If it is sunny, a simple T-shirt and a pair of briefs should be okay; but at colder or showery times, wearing more clothing is important. A light, jacket is good but if you forget one then most campsites may be selling ponchos. Combat trousers have many pockets, which is handy for storing your festival essentials while taking a sweater to put on at night makes the area a bit more reasonable.

On top remember that at night it will be cold, therefore bring jumpers and a warm sleeping bag. But don't forget to support your bands and wear band t-shirt when possible. Try considering the famous mens leather jackets that can provide extra warmth when the gigs last long into the night whilst still looking great.
