While
the UK festival season has yet to truly kick off here in the UK it's still the
perfect time to start thinking about that all important festival wardrobe. Gone
are the days when at events like Glastonbury you could turn up in your best
hippy garb and then not care what you looked like. Instead, festival season has
turned into a catwalk giving people the chance to show off their best boho chic
looks.
What's more with celebs like Kate Moss, Emma Watson and Katy Perry all
famous festival goers it can make us mere mortals feel like we have to compete.
However, as anyone who has been to a festival can testify packing the right
clothes into a rucksack and when you add in the fact that you are going to be
living in a tent and not washing for days it's hard to look perfect but we at
MizEllie want you to look great this festival season so here's our guide to
getting through the summer in true boho style.
Pack
for the weather
When
it comes to festivalling layering has to be your best friend because you have
no way of escaping the elements (unless off course you are glamping it up in a
fancy Yurt!) So if you are in Britain make sure you take your mac and wellies
so you can deal with any downpours. Also layer up your pretty summer dresses
and shorts with thin jumpers and tops because let's face it as much as we all daydream
about tripping round the fields in a floaty summery haze – it is likely to rain
and there is nothing worse than being drenched all day.
It's also a good idea
to go for layers of lightweight fabric as it will dry more quickly and don't
take anything that you don't mind getting muddy or can't clean again. Layers
are also great as when it gets hot you can discard them and if they are light
won't be too heavy to carry and make sure you bring a hat for sun and rain.
While if you are festivalling somewhere like Spain you will need lightweight
clothes to give you some protection from the sun.
Accessories
are your new best friend
With
limited space to pack, one of the simplest ways of making your outfit look
suitably boho is with accessories. Costume and fashion jewellery is small
and lightweight but will instantly perk up an outfit, while fashion handbags
are a must have because you will need something other than your rucksack to
carry around during the day. Just make sure it closes up and a shoulder bag is
a good idea as you will want to keep your hands free to carry your pint and
dance around. Here at MizEllie we also always take neck scarves with us
when go to a festival as they can be worn round the neck as a boho accessory
one the first day and can then be used as a head scarf when your hair is need
of a wash and not looking it's best!
Get
the look for less
At
MizEllie we have a great range of costume and fashion jewellery, scarves for women and neck scarves that will see you through the festival season in
style.
