Everything Flavourmag knows about doing festival season properly: what to pack, what to wear and where the deals are.
Festival season is a Flavourmag institution. We have spent twenty five years in fields, tents and VIP bars so you can skip the rookie errors. These guides are refreshed each spring before the season kicks off, so the checklists are current and every retailer link goes somewhere that is actually in stock.
The essentials
- Festival Season: Everything You Need to Pack: the complete checklist, from wellies to power banks.
- Summer Festival Outfit Ideas: looks that survive a field and still photograph well.
The wardrobe
- 7 Stunning Summer Dresses: one from every retailer worth knowing, linked to their living dress edits.
- Boohoo Festival Wear: the budget end of festival fashion, done properly.
Plan the season
The smart festival wardrobe is bought in April and May, before demand pricing kicks in: summer stock is full and the sales have not started, but neither have the queues. Leave the waterproofs to the last minute and you will pay festival-shop prices for them. We review this hub each spring so the advice tracks the season ahead.
