Rock Your Favourite Musical Events: Festival Fashion to Inspire Music Lovers
The arrival of summer brings with it the promise of many vibrant outdoor music festivals. These events are not only about music but also serve as a platform for self-expression through fashion. Dressing appropriately for daytime and night-time activities is essential, with sunny days and breezy evenings highly likely.
In this article, we’ll explore the types of festival fashion worn by men and women at outdoor musical celebrations.
Dressing for the Daytime Dances
It’s crucial to strike a balance between style and practicality when attending a festival because once you’re there, you’re there! While you’ll need some essential items in case the weather throws a high wind or heavy rain episode, a fashionable daytime outfit is still a must.
Flowy Tops and Dresses
Loose, airy tops and dresses are perfect for staying cool and comfortable. Floral prints, bohemian designs and crop tops are popular among festival-goers in 2023.
Shorts and Skirts
Pair lightweight tops with denim shorts or flowy skirts for a relaxed yet fashionable look but be sure to choose breathable materials like cotton or linen to combat the heat.
Comfortable Footwear
Pick comfortable footwear like flat sandals, trainers or ankle boots. You’ll be standing on your feet for a good proportion of the day and probably night, so avoid high heels or brand new shoes that haven’t been suitably ‘worn in’ that may cause discomfort.
Layering Options
As temperatures will almost definitely fluctuate (guaranteed during the beautiful British summer), it’s wise to have a lightweight jacket or cardigan on hand. A denim jacket or lightweight, waterproof windbreaker can provide protection against sudden wind gusts or light rain showers – and they’re also easy to tie around your waist or roll fold and store in your backpack.
New Look has a range of dance-ready denim pieces, rockin’ band tees and essential black and white layers. M&S ‘combine relaxed tailoring with colour-pop prints and accessories for a creative twist’ and comfy shoes for long-standing days and fringe events.
Check out the outdoor enthusiast stores like Trespass, Fat Face and The Outdoorist for key pieces such as shorts, tees, headgear, neckwear and comfy pumps. Remember umbrellas, waterproof top layers and camping equipment. There’s also plenty of choice at JoJo Maman Bébé for your little ones to stay dry, clean and protected from the elements.
Dressing for a Night-time Party
As the sun sets and the music intensifies, the atmosphere at music festivals becomes more energetic. You’ll still need to bear in mind unpredictable weather, but plenty of key festival fashion pieces create a stylish night-time ensemble.
Statement Pieces
Elevate your night-time look with bold and vibrant pieces. Sequined tops, metallic skirts, or patterned pants add a touch of glamour to your outfit.
Layered Accessories
Chunky jewellery, such as layered necklaces or statement earrings, can enhance your evening attire. Don’t forget a cross-body bag or a small backpack to keep your essentials handy.
Light Layers
Evenings can get chilly, so consider layering your outfit with a light jacket or a fashionable sweater. Pick lightweight and breathable fabrics like linen or cotton to prevent sweating and overheating.
Sun-Protective Clothing
Outdoor music festivals expose attendees to strong sunlight and potentially windy conditions. Lightweight and breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are recommended to help cool against the sun’s rays and for quick drying after an unexpected shower.
Wide-brimmed hats, straw hats or caps provide shade for the face, protecting you from the sun, sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes and the obvious bottle of sun cream to apply to your skin. Lightweight scarves or bandanas add style and protect your face and neck from strong winds and dust.
