A Basic Guide to Festival Dressing

Flimsy footwear doesn’t belong on a field; nor will they be fun to wear when you’re moshing at the front of the stage. Look to chunky boots that you can stomp around in or canvas sneakers that you can throw in the wash later, because your shoes will get messy.

Mother Nature is unpredictable so even if the forecast is four days straight of forty-degree heat there’s still a chance you’ll feel a chill at night. A denim jacket is our outerwear go-to. A hoodie is a smart choice if you’re camping and button-up shirts are always a good idea whatever the weather. It won’t hurt to pack a poncho too in case She turns on the waterworks.

Just embrace it. The bum bag may bring back memories of The Rock in a turtleneck but it sure is practical. Wear it around your waist or strap it across your body, either way you’ll be happy you went for a hands-free option when you’re grooving to your favourite tunes.
