The 6 Summer Festival Essentials You Defs Forgot About

Plural. One pair is never enough! While Le Specs Viper shades are an easy win for festival style, it’s always good to have options. Plus, we know we’ll need backups for that one mate who forgets to bring theirs, or loses them, or breaks them, and begs to ‘borrow’ yours.

Save yourself from losing another pair of shades with a sleek little chain. Not only are they trending big-time, they can also be attached to any pair. Go for a low-key nylon cord or a statement chain for a festival look that’s both practical and cool. Your mum would be proud.

Girl, you’re gonna wanna put your hands up. Get yourself a bum-bag or a crossbody bag that you can wear without a care watching the band you’ve been dying to see all year.

If you’ve been to a festival before, or seen any photos from any festival ever, you’ll know that mud is a real factor. So make sure you’re taking shoes that you can either wash off, or won’t mind if they get a little loved and worn. When it comes to easy-clean footwear, the fun EVA Birkenstocks Arizona’s are calling our name...

Repeat after me: there’s nothing cool about being sunburnt at a festival. From trending bucket hats, straw boaters, to wide brim fedoras, there’s no excuse for going that particular shade of red after a long day in the sun.

The final-day festival essential for when you just want someone to hold you. Disappear inside your softest, most oversized hoodie as you battle the traffic out of the festival grounds – 'cause the festival aint over ‘til it's over.
