FESTIVAL CLOTHING

_{There’s no such thing as ‘festival clothing’ per se, but there are clothes that are well-suited to festivals and other festive occasions. That’s exactly what we’ll be taking a closer look at in this blog post, where we’ll help you get ready for this year’s festival(s). You’re sure to find this guide useful, whether you’re heading to Smukfest, Roskilde Festival, Copenhell or a completely different festival here at home or abroad.}

_{If you’re getting ready for this year’s festival, you’ll need to stock up not only on alcohol, a power bank, a tent, food and wet wipes, but also on clothes – specifically, festival wear. It’s well worth doing this online, where you’ll find a whole world of modern clothing for men and women.}

THAT’S WHY CLOTHING IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF A GREAT FESTIVAL

Whether you see yourself as a trendsetter or not, you should give some thought to what you’re going to wear when you head off to a festival. After all, it’s nice to look well-dressed and trendy when you’re out meeting lots of new people and want to make a good impression. That’s not to say you have to turn up in an exclusive suit or a stunning dress; less can be just as effective.

As a single person, you’ll find that festivals are a real paradise, as you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet people of the opposite sex – or the same sex, for that matter. The chance to find ‘the one’ is just another good reason to make a bit of an effort with your appearance. However, it’s obviously important that your outfit reflects your personality.

Festival clothing shouldn’t just be trendy, but also practical, as festival sites are often very muddy and dirty. For this reason, it’s very risky to go all white, unless you don’t mind getting absolutely filthy. It’s generally difficult to keep your clothes clean when you’re in an area awash with mud, alcohol and junk food. As well as thinking about your choice of colours, you should consider which items of clothing are best suited to the weather. If the weather experts are forecasting heavy rain, you should bring wellies, rainwear and possibly a rain cover, so you don’t get soaked to the skin and risk falling ill from the very first day.

FESTIVAL CLOTHES FOR MEN

If you want to look ultra-trendy at this year’s big festival, you’ll need to make sure you pack just the right clothes. To impress the festival’s female guests, you need to have everything sorted – from shoes and clothes to hair and jewellery. Let’s start by looking at what to wear:

Black trainers (avoid white or light-coloured trainers; they get dirty in the blink of an eye)
Chino shorts and a smart matching belt (you could wear chino trousers instead)
Oversized T-shirt (a sure-fire hit at the festival)
Denim jacket (perhaps in black or blue – to really make the most of the dark outfit)
Camouflage-print bum bag (adds a bit of edge to the outfit and is extremely practical)
Classic black sunglasses (to keep the sun out and hide tired eyes)

With the outfit above, you can be absolutely sure to attract plenty of positive attention wherever you go. Of course, the above is just an idea of what you could wear. Ultimately, it’s entirely up to you how you want to style your festival outfit. To add the finishing touches, you could wear a lovely wristwatch, a stylish necklace and a leather bracelet. Then there really shouldn’t be a single fault to be found with your outfit.

FESTIVAL CLOTHING FOR WOMEN

Everyone cares about how they look; this is especially true of young women. Most female festival-goers plan their outfits down to the smallest detail. This includes everything from shoes and socks to headwear and sunglasses. Everything simply has to be just right so that you can truly show who you are and what you stand for.

The perfect festival outfit for female attendees could, for example, consist of the following:

Light trainers (stylish and extremely comfortable to wear)
A denim skirt (weather permitting)
Basic black top (or a striped design)
Bomber jacket (for those chilly summer evenings)
A practical handbag or clutch (for make-up, money, smartphone, etc.)
Round sunglasses (they’re more on-trend than ever)

Then I reckon you’re pretty much ready to party for days on end.

If you really want to let your hair down at this year’s festival, you might want to consider wearing a jumpsuit – though this can be impractical if you find yourself popping to the loo frequently. Although the look is probably what matters most to you, you should also give some thought to practicalities, as it’s obviously not a good idea to walk around in a thin top and a skirt if the forecast is for rain and low temperatures. To avoid getting ill, you need to stay warm and dry; this is where practical clothing comes into play.

It’s best to leave your delicate and expensive clothes at home; a festival can be hard on your clothes.
