Fashion Tips for Glastonbury and other music Festivals

Glastonbury Festival has been and gone for this year but there are other music festivals being held around the country. If you have been lucky enough to attend Glastonbury you will have noticed that just about anything goes with regard to style and fashion. Deciding what to wear is not always easy but following the tips below will go along way to ensuring your comfort whatever the weather. I) Pack Light: It is usually quite a walk from either your car or then nearest public transport stop and you will have to carry your tent. II) Fabric: The washing facilities will be minimal so take clothes that have “staying power” and do not show the dirt, you may be wearing them all weekend. You also don’t want to take clothes that need specialist cleaning when you get home; mud could feature heavily and certainly the Somerset “red” mud is hard to shift. Reading Festival may not be quite so muddy but you may regret wearing pale colours. III) Wellies: There are lots of different brightly coloured wellies for sale, so pick a pair that are in a colour that suits you, they may be covered in mud by the end of the weekend but at least you know they suit you! IV) Layers: Light layers mean you can get exactly the right coverage to be comfortable and believe me, you need as much comfort as you can muster. V) Raincoat: Whatever the weather forecast might be, take wet weather gear. The weather can be very changeable. A waterproof in your best colour will flatter you even if it rains. Why not be a bit experimental? There will be a vast number of people dressed in an array of different fashions. Now is your chance to try a new style.
