Festival Fashion The Right Wardrobe For A Music Festival

By David Burns


Summer months bring with them a lot of music festivals, which are usually the best alternative for someone who may not find the time or finance to take a vacation out of the country. The music experience will always deliver a chance for a memorable time; but small issues, such as wearing the wrong wardrobe, can often prove a spoiler on an enjoyable event. A little prior planning should ensure that everything runs as expected, including your festival fashion.

The summer season in the UK is virtually non-existent, as you all know, what we normally get is a very low-level monsoon - constant, drizzly, rain. However, if you know how to dress for this weather, you can guarantee yourself a great time at any of our festivals, and make sure that you never miss your favorite acts.

Lots of people are open to making new friends at festivals. The atmosphere is happy, friendly and full of music-lovers looking to connect and, with an eye-catching T-shirt on, you could find yourself getting approached by plenty of new pals.

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.

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.

Finally, you need a handbag and some sunglasses. Handbags are easy, opt for an over-sized bag in a neutral color and natural material - a brown anodyne tote bag would be ideal. By way of sunglasses, choose a design that suits your face, and they will usually look fantastic.
