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.

Your dressing will most definitely be different when you consider where you are traveling for the summer weekend for the party or music. You can check with the meteorological department to know what climatic conditions you can expect at that time of the year. You should also put in mind what kind of festival it is you're going to and what the general dress pattern is going to be like.

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.

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.

Wearing a hat can help protect you from wet projectiles in the crowd and can also shield you from the elements; whether it's rain or the sun beating down on you, standing outside all day can leave you open to attack. If hot weather is predicted, it's always best to also wear suntan lotion and sunglasses. Sporting sunburn is not only uncomfortable; it can also dangerous to your health.

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.

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.
