To wrap this up, here are a few other tips to remember when you go to pick your 2023 festival outfits.
1. Maintain your own sense of style. There is no right or wrong way to dress for festivals and don’t forget to embrace what makes you, you!
2. Pick 1 statement piece and pick accessories to compliment that piece.
3. Don’t forget to wear for comfort. The days get long, and you don’t want to end up uncomfortable in whatever outfit you choose. This goes for footwear as well!
4. Don’t forget your ChapStick, sunscreen and sunglasses. More than likely you will be at the festival for more than one day. You don’t want to get burnt(literally) out your first day.
5. Layer-up. Bring layers. It can get really hot during the day and cool down once the sun starts going down. Take plenty of layers so you are ready for any weather.
Most importantly- enjoy yourself, your friends, and the music!
