Festival Wardrobe Essentials

British summertime means one thing – festival season. Forget roughing it in a field for a few days; you’ll still want to look fantastic and carry off that relaxed vibe with some must-have festival wardrobe essentials. Here are the things you mustn’t be without:

1. T-Shirts

You’ll probably have band t-shirts you’ll want to wear, but when you’re not screaming at your favourite musicians, have a few spare graphic t-shirts. This gives you many new options and still leaves you looking fashionably stylish.

2. Swimsuit or Bikini Top

If it will be super-hot, stay cool by wearing a swimsuit or bikini top with your fave shorts or jeans. A bikini top that can be worn as a top in its own right looks very summer sexy when paired with denim cut-offs, for example.

3. Crossbody Bag

You’ll want your hands free for various reasons – dancing, drinking, taking photos, more dancing, etc. A hands-free, cross-the-body bag is essential for keeping your valuables close to you but without you having to give them another thought.

4. Lightweight Jacket

Even in the summer, evenings can get a bit nippy, so pack a lightweight jacket that matches whatever you’re wearing. Bomber jackets look great with jeans, shorts, or summer dresses.

5. A Bucket Hat

These were all the rage in the nineties, so remember to don a bucket hat for retro sun protection that still looks festival-fresh. They come in a wide range of funky materials and are perfect for embellishing with boho elements like macrame.

6. Lace-Ups

Every festival-goer should own a pair of lace-up boots. Whether worn in the sun with denim cut-offs or stomping through puddles, these boots epitomise rock and roll living.

7. Wear-all-day Shades

Avoid squinting and pack a great pair of stylish sunglasses for outdoor summer fun. These should go hand-in-hand with plenty of sun cream with a high SPF, so your partying isn’t ruined by a nasty sunburn.

8. Denim Cut-offs

Nothing says effortless summer vibes than a cute pair of denim cut-offs. Simple to pair with anything, they are the perfect festival attire. Stick with traditional blue or switch it up with patterns and different coloured denim.

9. The Maxi Dress

Lightweight, relaxed, flowy, and quintessentially bohemian – a maxi dress is essential for the ultimate hippy festival vibe. Pair with sandals, a crossbody bag, and some flowers in your hair, and you’re all set.
