What to Wear to a Festival

Wondering what to wear to a festival? Start with the kind of day you’re dressing for.

Festival dressing is carefree by nature. It’s playful, a little sun led and made for the pieces that feel too fun to leave at home. It might be a day in the city, a weekend in a field or something in between. Either way, the best festival outfit ideas start with the mood, then the weather, then the shoes you can actually stay out in.

Going for the day? Check the forecast and dress from there. Staying all weekend? Pack the outfits you can’t wait to wear, then add the windbreaker your future self will be quietly pleased about.

What to wear to a day festival

A day festival is easier to plan for. You’ve got one outfit, one forecast and no overnight bag to think about.

Start with the piece you actually want to wear. Maybe that’s a mini dress with trainers. Maybe it’s denim shorts and a racer vest. Maybe it’s a matching set that does the work for you. If the ground looks less reliable, go for boots. If the evening looks cooler, add a light jacket over your arm for the way home.
