Got your festival tickets at the ready? Started to plan what you're going to take? Don't forget about some absolute essentials from Masdings.com, as we take you through some of the pieces you'll need in your festival survival kit.
It's in the bag
Let's face it, no matter what's on your personal survival list, you're going to need somewhere to keep it, and something easy to carry it all in. Kill two birds with one stone with a backpack, and look pretty damn cool in the struggle to get all your stuff to your tent pitch in one trip. Sturdy and durable, you can load them up and take them into the arena with you too, making them perfect for stashing your essentials throughout the day. Check out the trendy prints from Mi-Pac, including an outrageous leopard print that's sure to get you noticed in the crowd!
Time marches on
Whether you're meeting your mates at the beer tent, or catching the act of the day on the main stage, make sure you're never late with these Diesel time pieces. Brightly coloured and finished with a rubber strap, they're super comfy and will stand up to the test of festival wear; fighting off flying beer in the crowd!
Keep it under your hat
A hat could be your best friend this Summer- it'll keep the sun off your face (if you're lucky enough to get some) and help to cover up some of the worst bad hair days you'll ever have the displeasure of encountering. Luckily, flat peak caps are bang in fashion too- so wear you're baggy tee with them for an easy street look. You'll find a great fit with these caps-they all have snap back fastenings, with the Trainer Spotter cap being designed by New Era and the Money cap being stenciled by Starter.
Crazy Sun Protectors
You're going to see a lot of weird and wonderful sunglasses at any festival this Summer- but if you're like us and would rather have a decent pair of sunnies with a slight sense of humour, then check these beauties out. From retro tortoise shell frames by Lacoste, perfectly suited to the more classically styled gent, to the bright coloured Oakley Frogskin's for the rave kid, and the see through front framed Lacoste's for the fun boy, there's a style for everyone.
Mac Attack
Inevitably, you will eventually get wet thanks to the Great British weather. Avoid getting caught out by the odd Summer shower with these lightweight jackets, including a handy little reversible style by Pretty Green. They're all lightweight, will turn a decent rain and are dead easy to pack away when the sun comes back out!
