As the festival season is fast approaching, The Diva thought she’d suggest some festival fashion essentials from Viva La Diva to help lovely lady festival-goers to stay looking fabulous all weekend long. Just because your hair maybe greasy and your clothes maybe wet, it doesn’t mean you can’t still look utterly chic and here are some ways that you can stay looking every inch the festival fashionista come rain or shine.

Festival fashion essentials ideas

Wellies

Every seasoned festival-goer will know that wellies are a must regardless of what the weather forecast says. Most festivals take place on fields and the ground can be rather soggy and don’t forget either that most festivals seem to fall fowl to the rain too regardless of whether it’s the summer! But don’t fret that you’ll look boring in a pair of wellies, there are in fact lots of fun wellies around these days like brightly coloured and funky patterned wellies, and of course, for the high heel lover Wedge Welly will satisfy your need for your killer heels.

Gladiator sandals

No festival look is complete without a pair of simple gladiator sandal ladies! One of the biggest footwear fashions of the summer, gladiator sandals are the sandals to be seen in at every festival and will help you pull off the bohemian chic look with ease. Wear with a cute floral dress or playsuit to really make them work. Make sure you pop a pair in your bag, even if it’s raining, you never know, the sun might come out and you won’t want to miss an opportunity to look so cute in some gladiator sandals.

Cross body bag

You’ll most likely be in and around big crowds of people at a festival so you’ll want a bag that’s safe, so opt for a cross body bag and that way your belongings will secure. The great thing about cross body bags is that they’re also really practical too, you won’t have to worry about carrying it around or leaving it anywhere and they’re also so fashionable too, especially if you’re rocking the 70s hippy look.

Sunglasses

If you’re lucky enough to get a scorcher at your festival then you’ll certainly need a pair of funky sunglasses to protect your eyes from the rays. Sunglasses are also a really good way of finishing off a summer look, but a good tip is to not spend too much money on a pair of designer sunglasses for a festival, go for some that aren’t too expensive just in case you break them or lose them.

Scarf

It might not be an obvious one but a thin scarf will be really useful at a festival come rain or shine, especially a funky patterned or floral print scarf. If you’re lucky enough to get a warm few days then tie it around your waist for a trendy look or use as a head scarf to keep those sun rays at bay and to look ever so bohemian chic. And if the weather turns as with most festivals, you’ll be able to keep it around your neck to stay cosy but stay looking fabulous.
