Festival Clothing

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 favourite acts.

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.

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. 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.

In terms of the style of Festival 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.
