It’s hard to believe but festival style is one of the few
fashions that were actually generated from practical
clothing. Long gone are the years where the most
fashionable garments at festivals were band t-shirts
and tie-dye, nowadays festival wear is a synergistic
blend of practicality and the latest trends.
Festival style has generated its own collection of
cult classics including the parka jacket which could also
just as easily be on the ‘every musician’s mandatory
wardrobe’ list. Whether your parka is retro style or a
more modern option this is one item of outdoor wear
that serves festival goers well, the Protected Species
Waterproof Parka Jacket (£179.00) even features a

2 year waterproof performance guarantee, visit www.
protected-species.com
As a child, wellies were bright and exciting and
represented fun and adventure, that hasn’t changed but
would you have ever imagined wellies being a fashion
statement? The truth is you’re not at a festival unless you
have your on-trend wellies with you. Ensure you survive
any downpours in style with Havaianas Aqua Rain Boots
£45.00 from www.havaianas-store.com
The wave of fashionable wellies has also brought
about the need (or excuse) for suitable but stylish
wellie socks. Comfy festival feet are happy feet so try
