Your Festival Season Style Guide for 2019

Despite the weather causing havoc, Festival Season is finally upon us here in the UK! Whether it’s going to be a sun-drenched occasion or you’re going to be knees deep in mud, festival are now seriously style-conscious events. So, before you start scouring the site to pitch your tent up, make sure you are wardrobe-ready with our mini festival season style guide…

Weather Proof your Wardrobe

When it comes to packing your clothing, you need to prepare for everything that a festival can throw at you. Over a weekend, the weather can change dramatically but there’s no reason you can’t slum it in style, right? Always pack a waterproof – you will only regret it if you leave it at home. You can team it with denim shorts, a cute slogan tee or even a sequin dress if you want to really embrace those festival vibes.

Fabulous Footwear

When it comes to choosing your footwear, always go for practicality and comfort over style. You’re going to be covering a lot of miles over the weekend and you need to be ready to tackle every weather condition going. We’d recommend packing a pair of wellies and some sturdy boots – you can make them look girly if you. Want to! White trainers are a no-go. You’ll be inundated with blisters and they’ll be ruined before you’ve finishing your first cider.

Flower Crowns Galore

If there’s one place you'll need some need festival hair accessories, it’s at a summer music festival. An essential for any summer-inspired event, they will instantly add a splash of colour to your outfit no matter what the weather may be. Here at Fascinator’s Direct, we have a swoon-worthy collection from flower crowns for you to choose from. Whether you want something stylish and understated, or oversized and impossible to ignore, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect hair garland for your festival outfit.

Bring your Backpack 

While you may want to keep a close eye on the latest festival fashion trends, you will also need to bring the essentials. Don’t fret, this doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. You can get a cute backpack from almost anywhere on the high street. Pack it full of all your valuables, rather than leaving them in your tent. If you want something a bit smaller, the bum bag is making a big comeback for 2019 festival season! 

Stash up on Sunglasses

Sunglasses should be one of your top priorities when it comes to festival styling. There would be nothing worse than seeing your favourite band but having to squint the whole way through because you weren’t expecting any sunshine. Plus, you will find them very handy for those pesky hangovers! When it comes to choosing the perfect sunglasses for festival season, we’d say go for cheaper versions that you won’t mind leaving behind if they get lost.

Leggings & Layers

While it may be scorching hot during the day, it can very quickly become chilly as the evening draws in. Don’t let the cooler weather ruin your fun! Instead, pack plenty of layers including hoodies, leggings and jumpers.
