What to Wear to a Festival

Whether you go for head-to-toe kaleidoscope vibes or just a pop of colour, bright shades are an easy shortcut to festival style. An oversized graphic T-shirt ticks a couple of trend boxes, or go all out by combining colour and sparkle with embellished or sequinned pieces. If you’re hesitant to wear brights, dip a toe in with a vibrant accessory, like a cool leopard-print baseball cap or a patterned scarf (both ideal for concealing unwashed hair).

Tie-dye and festivals go hand-in-hand: tie this ombré-effect slouchy sweater around your waist ready to slip on in the evening once the temperature plummets. Have fun by clashing your festival make-up and jewellery with your outfit for maximum impact. If you're planning to rave all night, high-visibility accessories will help you to stand out after dark

Fingers crossed your festival experience will be a sunny event however we've all seen pictures of revellers wading knee-deep through mud. Stop showers from ruining your fun by taking your waterproof layers seriously. If rain is forecast then you'll need head-to-toe rainproof options: think a pull-on anorak or Stormwear bomber, plus quick-drying cargo trousers or sports shorts.

Details such as drawstring cuffs and hoods will help keep you warm and dry. Keep your essentials safe in a nylon sling bag. And of course, if the sun does show its face then you'll want to pile on the sunscreen and a brimmed hat – summer UV rays can be surprisingly fierce, even through cloud cover. With its concealed sweat band and air vents, Berghaus' bucket hat is ideal.
