Thousands of people travel from all over the world to attend music festivals every summer. It can be one of the finest opportunities to glimpse your favourite performers. And currently, these gatherings are not just about celebrating music as they are fashion extravaganza. If you’re going to a music festival like the Ultra Music Festival or Coachella, thinking about what clothing items you’ll need, here is a list of some things you shouldn’t forget.
Comfy shoes or boots
You will need some comfortable and durable boots or shoes to attend a music festival. Rubber boots can be a wonderful idea when it’s rainy and muddy. However, you can’t go wrong with a comfy pair of sneakers for your feet while dancing. The options are many and include comfortable, stylish, and on-trend to wear with almost any clothing piece from your closet from both higher and lower-end brands. There are a few popular and affordable campus sneakers and trainers you can go for. These can go with any festival outfit and are perfect for all-day exploring and festival activities.

A bandana
A bandana is one of the most versatile items you can own. It is a must-have accessory since it is not only cute and trendy but can be used for a variety of uses; used to tie your hair back, keep sweat at bay, or fight back dust and wind in the outdoors. The conventional tie bandana and the neck gaiter style are two bandana types to choose from. The neck gaiter design can help you achieve a mask-look in that it slides up and down your mouth while adding a splash of colour to your festival costume. Bandanas no longer only represent the style of 80s musicians and rockers and are excellent for looking stylish regardless of the festival’s theme or occasion.
A hat
You are likely to view some open-air performances while it is still sunny, so you cannot leave your face exposed to the sun. A hat is excellent for this as it will protect your face and neck against sunburns. You can also include a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. Polarized sunglasses, in particular, are great if you have sensitive eyes since the main stage lights can be intense. So you can use a pair to protect your eyes at night as well.
Fanny or bums pack
It is understandable if wearing a backpack to the festival isn’t your thing. But, you need someplace to store your belongings. Fortunately, fanny packs are back in style, thanks to music festivals. There are cool designs and versions available to keep you looking good, even on the dance floor. It all depends on how large of a pack you require and what you intend to store in them. However, large packs have shown to be truly handy since you may never know what you’ll need to store. Fanny packs can come in a variety of ultra-slim, super-sporty bags, while others are made from durable synthetic leather.

Jacket or hoodie
You probably won’t need a jacket or hoodie during the day. But when the temperature drops after dark, you will be glad you took one along. Jackets or hoodies can come in handy, especially when going to a camping or weekend music festival. You may not need it entirely during the summer, but it is a must-have for cool evenings, camping or music festivals in less-than-ideal weather conditions. For example, a durable Jean jacket with a matching pair of women’s or men’s jeans can keep you comfortable during the event. Remember that you’re likely to be dancing a lot, so choose sizes and fits that will allow you to move freely, feel relaxed and comfortable, and boldly express yourself.
Shorts
Shorts are the most popular bottoms to wear to music festivals since they are comfortable and come in various colours and shapes. If you are heading to a festival for a couple of days, you can wear the same pair of denim shorts with different tops for each day. This can save you space in your backpack or suitcase. Whether you’ll be at a BBQ, lounging by a pool, or dancing to your favorite artist, you’re likely to have a good time in shorts. They are light and comfortable, and you’ll want to wear them all the time.
Music festivals can be exhilarating. One second you are partying on some polo field, and before you know it, you’re getting lost or raving in a massive crowd. However, these must-have clothing should prepare you for everything to come.
