Festival fashion fun - Look good this Summer

This weekend the T in the park Festival at Balado, Kinross-shire takes place across three days.  There are nine stages in the arena and four more in the campsite which gives a choice of approx. 180 artists to listen to.

With all these venues to choose from have you chosen your Festival gear yet? 

       

A t-shirt or loose fitting tank paired with Denim shorts and a short boot with a low heel will keep your legs looking great.  

A bikini top underneath your tee and you are ready to catch a few summer rays.

Don’t forget to accessorize with layers of colourful bracelets and necklaces and add some awesome earrings to finish the look.  

Other essentials include a lightweight blanket to cuddle up on, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen and a summer bag to carry it all.   Oh and of course a tent!

With Mumford & Sons, the Script, Stereophonics, Rita Ora, Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris playing over the weekend all you need to do now is turn up, pitch your tent and enjoy the music.

Festival Fashion

Each day that passes we hear more bands announced, this is the time of year the excitment begins for Festival Summer. Whether it's sunshine or mud you need to get prepared now, camping glamourously is not easy with problem about what to do with your hair, what clothes to wear, more importantly what clothes not to pack, the shoes, the bags, the accessories and that's just for day one.

Here is our top 3 items for the summer festival:

Flat boots

Flat Boots £30

No point in even looking at your collection of heels, even with glorious sunshine you'd sink faster than the titanic so lets think what shoe's are appropriate. Many girls make the mistake of open topped sandals, thinking they are cute and comfy, think again. If your in a crowd and that 6ft tall bloke in front of you takes a step back then you may have a long wait at the A&E tent getting a plaster. So Boots it is, preferably boots that can be wiped clean if it is muddy, remember and pack those baby wipes they are a godsend.


Big Bags

LEC Boutique Handbags

You don't want to have to run back to your tent just as your favourite band starts so a handbag that can fit everything you need for a twelve hour day is perfect. But big doesn't have to be a rucksack, get a big bag that is fashionable. Again avoid any fabrics that could stain easy, it will spend most of the day on the floor at your feet as you jump around to the beats of summer.  The secret zip pocket is ideal for that stash of cash you can't leave in your tent, that's if you haven't bought a money belt that clips under your shirt.

Onesies

Designer Onesies £25 LEC Boutique

Can you really get any more comfortable than a onesie? So last year everyone went mad for those stupid animal ones. Hardly the kind of pictures you want posted on your facebook timeline is it? So let's get this straight you can get designer onesies, classy onesies that are designed to be worn outside and make you look less like you'd just returned from a panto where you played the panda!


Hair tips


You need to wear your hair up, firstly because straighteners that run on batteries are as useful as a solar powered torch, secondly because its an open field and you don't want windy hair in your face as your trying to see Mick Jagger move like he's twenty. Here is a useful video about putting your hair into a fishtail Braid from the gorgeous Lauren Conrad.

Why let babies have all the fun? Onesies

In 2012 Onesies exploded onto the fashion seen like never before, mainly featuring as a night time attire for bed. Providing the comfort and warmth of thermals but with a flair of colour and design to them. Thought previously to only be for babies and Snow sports the onesie took the world by storm and animals were the order of the day.

Move forward into 2013 and we see the next evolution of the Onesie is stylish, elegant and trendy to wear out during the day or to large events. Festival fashion is one of the most booming parts of the industry with designer wellies and raincoats but the Onesie is this years must have festival item. Providing you with comfort, robust for those muddy days and looks great even if you don't.

The Onesie is also great for groups, friends wearing matching or similar onesies can attract attention, easy to find in large crowds and makes your group instantly recognisable, you may even get a shout out from the act on stage. Whether you want a bold print slogan on the front or a design on the back designer Onesies can be great way of looking good comfortably.

To Accessorise your Onesie outfit:

 Footwear -You should wear boots, fur lined boots look great but remember don't wear your brand new Ugg boots as the mud will ruin them. Something with fur detailing but waterproof would be idea. If you are wearing for a night out on town then some very high heels give the impression of long legs when wearing a Onesie.

Jewellery - Chunky chunky chunky jewellery is the order of the day. Large necklaces and bracelets set off the outfit adding a bit of glamour.

So now you have the perfect outfit for a festival or a great themed night out. Fashion doesn't always have to be huge effort you can look great in minutes and stand out in a crowd.
