The Festival Fashion Checklist

Whether you’re glamping at Glastonbury or soon to be at Sonar Barcelona, we know as temperatures start to increase you’ll be dreaming of being footloose and fancy free in a field with a beer in hand very soon. So among your checklist of essentials (we’ve listed these below), we need to talk about your 2019 festival fashion checklist.

We’re partial to a flower crown or a spot of glitter sure, but beyond that your outfit needs to be practical as well as on trend. Get ahead of of the game and avoid any fashion faux pas as you browse through our staple festival fashion pieces.

MEN

CUBAN COLLAR

A huge summer trend and perfect addition to your wardrobe is the Cuban collar printed shirt. In true Romeo Montague style, it’s the shirt to be seen in this festival season. Accessorise with some thin chain necklaces and rings for an added edge.

AVIATOR SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses that look great on every face is the aviator. A timeless classic that flatters all face shapes, look cool and hide any third day festival tired eyes with ease. Also, no one likes to squint while watching their favourite artist.

BELT BAG

Go hands free with this Coach Signature Rivington Belt Bag with Rexy by Zhu Jingyi. Both functional and on trend, belt bags have sky rocketed in popularity in the past few years and are a regular festival fashion companion. Giving you the ability to get a round in without struggling, the belt bag will be your saviour this festival season.

OVERSIZED SHORTS

Another big trend for SS19 are oversized shorts. Bringing both comfort and style with their boxy shape, the oversized tailored look is easily paired with a hoody for when the sun’s going down or jackets if there is a light shower.

WINDBREAKER

Let’s face it, you’re very likely to experience a shower or two while at a festival (especially if it’s in the UK) Whether it’s a light 5 minute drizzle or that grey cloud just won’t budge, it’s necessary to be prepared. This packable Polo Ralph Jacket is easily stored if the sun does in fact show up, but also a nice pop of colour to add to your outfit.

LEATHER SANDAL

If you’re fortunate enough to be heading to a warm festival, leather sandals will be your saviour. Practical for slipping on but also teamed with a Cuban shirt and oversized shorts, a very nice finishing touch to your outfit.

WELLIES

And last but not least (by any means), the very important matter of wellies! Whether the forecast says sunshine with the chance of light rain, or continuous rain across the weekend, pack your wellies!
