With the warm weather dawning, festival season is not far behind! It’s finally time to shake off the layers and enjoy the sound of music in a big sweaty heap, like music was meant to be enjoyed! Though you don’t have to endure the sticky discomfort that comes with the festival life if you follow our handy festival fashion survival guide. Let’s kick this off with some quick tips:
TIP 1: Make your own schedule!
We know it’s important to get as much as you possibly can out of your festival experience, but you can only see so many bands. There’s bound to be some conflict. You can get the most out of your days and nights if you make a loose schedule to keep yourself in the right places at the right times.
TIP 2: Crowd Control!
The closer you are to the stage, the more elbows you’ll feel a little closer than you’d like them. Beware of crowd surfers!
TIP 3: Charge. Your. Cell.
Seriously. Don’t forget. You might even be able to leave your charger at home if you invest in a Charge Box, like the Black Fox from the Volpes Series found at Chargefox.com. With it, you’ll get an additional:
- 8 Hours of talk time
- 10 Hours of wifi use
- 40 Hours of audio
- 10 Hours of video
Chargefox cases are compatible with the iPhone 4/4s, iPhone 5/5s, and Samsung Galaxy SIII.
TIP 4: Prepare for the heat.
Dress light! Pack layers, but be prepared to strip down to a tank and shorts if necessary, things get hot, fast. Also, remember to wear sunscreen on all your exposed parts and stay in the shade as much as you can!
