It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Summer festivals are back and of course, you want to be well-prepared so you can enjoy every minute. When it comes to festival fashion, you want items of clothing that aren’t only comfortable, but also easy to layer and mix and match with other items. Your wardrobe choices will be limited, so it’s important to bring versatile clothes. Here are four ideal items for any music festival!
Crop tops
Sometimes at summer festivals, you just don’t want to be covered up in a T-shirt! Crop tops are easy to mix and match with mini- or maxi-shirts, shorts or jeans. You can also easily layer over them – just throw on a shirt, kimono or cardigan.
Denim shorts
It’ll get hot while you’re out and about – and you’re likely to be in the sun all day, so give you legs a chance to breathe. You can wear denim cut-off shorts which go with pretty much anything, and you don’t have to buy them – you can make a pair of your own from a pair of old jeans! There are colours, washes, embellishments and lengths to suit any shape or personal style, so don’t be afraid to try them out.
Boots
We definitely recommend some chic slip-on sandals since it’ll be hot and all, but if you’re going to be at a festival with lots of dust and dirt – not to mention crowds of people jumping up and down to the sounds of their favourite DJ or band, in the vicinity of your delicate toes – it’s best to wear closed shoes. Boots are your best bet as they’re tough and can get you through any weather condition. Desert and chelsea boots are stylish and great for sunny conditions, but go for combat boots if things might get a little muddy.
Accessories
Don’t forget to accessorise! A good pair of sunglasses is as sensible as it is stylish, and so is a hat. Whether you’re into snapbacks like Cara Delevingne’s or Taylor Swift-style fedoras, make sure the material is weather-appropriate – the last thing you want is a face full of sweat because of a wool hat! You can also go crazy when it comes to bangles and for the ultimate festival look, wear long pendant necklaces. They’ll look amazing with simple crop tops or plain T-shirts.
