What not to wear to a festival?

Although nothing is actually out of bounds for festival wear, it’s important you feel comfortable.

Ensure you can move freely in your festival ‘fit to make the absolute most of your experience.

This goes for footwear too, we’d say it’s a no to heels but chunky boots are most definitely on our festival hit list.

 

Now your festival outfits are sorted, let’s discuss festival face glitter and festival glitter makeup.
