WHAT TO WEAR TO A FESTIVAL

Nothing beats the feeling of dusting off your tent, stuffing a backpack with chocolate chip brioche buns, and heading for a field somewhere in the English countryside. Oh, the beauty of festival season. But despite the glamour of muddy boots and stale pastries, it's worth getting prepped in the wardrobe department. If you're asking yourself 'how do I plan for unpredictable weather', well we've pulled together a range of men's festival outfits to suit any vibe – including footwear to see you from front gates to main stage. Scroll on for our top festival outfits of the 2025 season. 

Let's take things from the top. If you're setting out for a weekend of outdoor partying, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, comfort. No matter how great your outfit, there's no joy in spending hours adjusting a complicated look. Secondly? Versatility. With minimal packing space, a simple tee can serve as the basis for multiple wardrobe changes. We love this breatheMAX™ top in dark green for its clean-cut, breathable finish – perfect for late-night dancing. Pair it with patterned trousers to nail men's boho style, or throw over cargos for an easy streetwear get-up. If you fancy something more eye-catching, this linen shirt has a subtle floral print and lightweight fabric – the perfect nod to summer. 

What accessories should you bring to a festival? It's the million-dollar question. The answer lies in practicality. Scoping out the perfect bag for your daily essentials is key – and we love this Rains crossbody bag for both its watertight finish and understated style. And if all goes well, you'd hope the sun will be shining all festival long. These sunglasses from Jimmy Fairly pair well with any look, but the off-beat square shape is a fun take on more classic lenses.

Now you've got your top half sorted, you might be wondering what to wear on your feet to complete your summer festival outfits. To save you lugging a carousel of shoes in your backpack, we've whittled it down to two festival essentials. Firstly, the trainer. You want something both durable and stylish, which makes a good pair of Salomons top of the list. And what about rainy weather? The Goretex finish on these will keep you dry from dusk till dawn. Fancy packing a bit more punch in the shoe department? Consider boots. This stone-coloured pair can take a beating and still keep your feet comfy for those treks to the main stage.

Let's face it, festival weather can be unpredictable. And while we'd always love to dress for summer, it's best to come prepared. Consider a long waterproof jacket for lightweight yet protective layering. This dark green number is easy to style and also works as a sartorial nod to the Gallagher brothers – the ultimate festival fashion icons. On the other end of the spectrum, you could be facing some serious sunshine. A trusty hat is one way to keep cool – especially for festivals with minimal shade. This Nike bucket hat is a fun take on an old favourite, with an alt denim finish that still pairs easily with any look. 

If you're still stumped in the style department, a co-ord is an easy fix. Consider it your outfit shortcut. From shorts and shirts to tops and trousers, these combos have you covered from head to toe. Lean into trending pinstripe with this Levi's set, with a boxy fit ideal for warmer weather. We also love this cargo look with wide-leg denim trousers that feel casual and cool. The jacket also has heaps of mix-and-match potential, so you can keep styling both pieces long after the final act.
