THE ONLY FESTIVAL PACKING LIST YOU NEED
By Lizzie Griffin, 18 June 2024
Heading to one of the biggest festivals of the year? If the answer's yes, we thought you might want a little help with packing (because let's be honest, it can feel stressful). Whether your summer cal is full of one-day wonders or you’ve got a week of camping ahead of you, it's time to take notes from our ultimate festival packing list. Let the festi fun begin…
STAND OUT IN POPS OF RED
Hunter Original Tall Wellington Boots in Red, £135
Losing your friends in a busy crowd with zero signal is not it – but we’ve got a solution for that: pops of red! Throw on a red top or wellington boots and your besties will spot you a mile away. We just hope that no one else has the same idea…
PACK A JACKET THAT CAN TAKE ON 50 DAYS OF RAIN
If there’s one thing we can predict about festival season, it’s the unpredictability of British weather. Whether the rumours of 50 days of rain are true or not, there’s no harm in preparing for showers – because obvs you want to look good whilst staying dry. Oh, and if things get muddy, those wellies above will be the perfect pairing.
CARRY *ONLY* THE ESSENTIALS IN A CROSSBODY BAG
ASOS DESIGN sling crossbody bag, £24
A bag that won’t leave your side? The crossbody bag. Choose a hands-free accessory that’s roomy, easy to access and can hold it all together (even when you can’t). We love this washed-look sling bag, because it works for festi season and beyond. 10/10.
HIDE YOUR BAD HAIR DAY WITH A CAP
The humble cap is an easy way to hide the inevitable day-four-hair situation (we've all been there). We say, get a cap or colourful hat to say bye to bad hair days – or even better, get a slogan cap that says it all without you having to say a word.

COMPLETE THE 'FIT WITH SHADES
Reasons you'll need a pair of sunnies: 1. to watch your fave headliner in the (potential) sun; 2. to people watch inconspicuously from your tent; and 3. to give your 'fit that *finishing touch*. PSA, gorpcore is going no where, so we're leaning into techy vibes and sportier styles this summer.
