Festival Fashion

 

 

Festival season is upon us and after you've got your tickets and your festival essentials it's time to sort out your festival fashion.

One of the key factors you need to consider when building your festival style is comfort. Yes heels look great, but are they really practical for jumping around in a field? For girls, Matalan's Short Floral Wellies are perfect for keeping your feet dry if it rains at £12. If the sun is shining, a pair of gladiator sandals such as the Poppy Studded Roman sandal from Boohoo.com gets the balance right between comfort and fashion. For boys who want to get this balance right too, try the Brooker Canvas Plimsolls for £10 at Very.co.uk.

  

If you are lucky with the weather then you need to invest in a hat. Wearing a hat is an effective way of protecting your ears, neck and face from the sun. But a hat can be a fashion statement as well as sun protection. New Look has some stylish cowgirl hats with coloured bead detailing for under a fiver. Guys can also follow the trend by getting themselves a straw hat such as Goodsouls Straw Men's Trilby at £12.00 from Very.co.uk.

Squinting in the sun is not a good look so if you want to actually see the festival, grab yourself a pair of sunglasses. If you love the floral trend, New Look currently sells some pretty floral sunglasses for just £4.99. They also have some coloured pilot sunglasses for men at the same price.

 

 

If the weather is hot, consider lightweight cotton tops to keep you cool throughout the day. For girls, this cream vest from River Island is 100% cotton (£14.99). For the boys, Joe Browns has t-shirts which are 100% cotton too such as this red slogan tee.

  Denim shorts are ideal for festivals as they are comfortable and you can mix and match them with tops to create an outfit quickly. There are a variety of styles available such as the ripped denim shorts for girls available from Tesco at just £14.00. Guys can try a distressed style such as the Crafted marble shorts at £24.99 from Republic.

 

 

 

  

As long as you prepare for the eventualities of extreme sunshine and a huge downpour you should be fashion ready for your festival. Have fun!
