WHAT TO WEAR TO A FESTIVAL
You’ve secured your tickets, you’ve bought your tent – now it’s time to get your outfits sorted. Read on for our ultimate festival fashion guide
Rock the crochet trend
Breezy, summery and bohemian, crochet was made for festivals – and luckily, it’s everywhere at the moment. Go for our crochet dress in a comfy smock-style fit, with a flattering mini length (it’s best to avoid midi or maxi dresses at festivals, as they could easily get trampled on in muddy fields). Alternatively, choose a top with crochet detailing – we love this green cami and red knit vest.
Finish off your look with a vibrant crochet shoulder bag, perfect for transporting your essentials. When you’re in big crowds, opt for a cross-body bag to keep your valuables safe. Make sure you choose one that’s roomy enough to stash your phone, cash and water bottle.
Mix and match brights
Whether you go for head-to-toe kaleidoscope vibes or just a pop of colour, bright shades are an easy shortcut to festival style. This bright red one-shoulder top ticks a couple of trend boxes, or go all out by combining colour and sparkle with a blue sequinned T-shirt. If you’re hesitant to wear brights, dip a toe in with a vibrant accessory, like this green straw bucket hat.
Don’t forget to pack your waterproofs, no matter what the forecast – Irish weather can be unpredictable, after all. Stand out in the crowd with our lightweight rain jacket in a bright cranberry hue, made with water-repellent Stormwear technology. Wellies are a festival essential, too.
Dig out your trusty denim
A pair of denim shorts makes a great base for a festival outfit – they work just as well with an oversized T-shirt and trainers as they do with a pretty bandeau top and sandals. Our denim mom shorts come in light and dark indigo, white and black washes, and have a high waist and on-trend raw hems. Alternatively, go for a denim mini skirt – choose from a utility-inspired version with cargo pockets, a gorgeous metallic mini and lots more.
Double denim is everywhere right now, so pair your shorts or skirt with a denim jacket or overshirt. We love this denim gilet – available in indigo and black, it’s the perfect layering piece for chillier evenings.
