• Bring 5 t-shirts
• Wear 1 Wed-Sunday
• Use other 4 as pillow
• Change into cleanest on way home

Worked 4 years straight 

This, 100%

I wear the same old shit I wear in the real world, t-shirts worn to holes, combat shorts with safety pins replacing long since lost button and a hoodie in the evening.  The only item of clothing I buy new for a festival is a pack of primark socks, as you can't beat the feeling of fresh new socks on tired feet each morning.

As a gentleman I endeavour to look my best at all times and attending a festival is no excuse for being under attired.

Clean shaven for the festival then! Pics on FB at the end of June please!

Docs, shorts, the top 5 t-shirts from my washing pile, pullover mac either round my waist or on me. That's all I've packed for the 10 or so festivals I've been to.

I guess I like to wear some" different " clothes from the usual , its a bit of an opportunity for me not to be the shelf stacker at the local supermarket ... I find the way I dress makes it easier for people to chat to me( not that its a place where people don't talk)!!  sometimes I don't find it easy in normal life but within the fence the pressures of life seem to release and I can be a bit more me !! and I find the clothes I wear ease this process

Band and and Simpsons tshirts for me. The only thing I have to worry about is buying the same tshirts as my brother and @SwedgeAntilles. 

This year's must have:

[Aragorn]

I where the shitest clothes I have. At 42 I don't give a toss lol. I have a laugh don't care what I'm wearing

Did suit up one year for a laugh in a group. Can understand people wanting to dress good unless just for press opportunity

[John_P]

Basically what I wear everyday regarding shirt/t-shirt and a hoodie. Cargo shorts (no need for pants/jeans at a festival) and a pair of wellies or walking boots. Long for something like 2013 when by Saturday it was converse weather.

[Woffy]

Burnt rags. 

[guypjfreak]

I  wear a different pearl jam t shirt every day.. End ov

Oh apart from Thursday when I wear my home made nfr nfc. T shirt lol

[Larraht]

The idea of "festival fashion' like that coachella video is horrible - theres always a few girls that turn up to the queue on Wednesday morning with their hair curlers still in. 

However, I do like to buy a couple of kimono type jobs before going as they are cool in the heat and come in pretty designs - usually pair with leggings for comfort.

However, when I see chic/earth wind and fire/jacksons...all the sequins and glitter are coming out.

I always wear shorts at festivals, no matter how cold it gets. The concept of wearing jeans at a festival is a weird one to me.

[Quark]

I look remarkably similar at Glastonbury as I do when I'm gardening. Boots/wellies, the same cammo cargo shorts I've had for about 5 years, band shirts, frayed grey cap I bought in Australia 15 years ago, grey hoody I've had for about 10 years when it gets chilly in the evening.

Love others who put in the effort @crazyfool1 and @lucyginger for example, but there's something about the 'saw it in a magazine' look that just seems bland. But hey, I'm old and grouchy so what do I know? But then I've been old and grouchy for years and I'm only 36!

@Spindles - seriously, after the bag discussion and now this I really think I might be your evil clone or something. We should catch up and drink stuff.

[Joshuwarr]

What matters is you do what makes you comfortable and whatever helps you have the most fun you can. If that means practical over fashion, then great! But also if that means you want to look your best or dress up in a costume then thats great too!

I think you've missed a whole option out of the voting the "it's important to me what I wear, for me, regardless of fashion"

That's what thought at first, since that's my position, but on second reading, I'd say "It doesn't hold that much importance to me but I still put thought into how I appear at a festival" is pretty close.

[waterfalls212434]

Couldnt care less about fashion, I wear whats comfortable even more so at a festival im going to be at for almost a week, isnt glastonbury the one place everyone should feel like they arent going to be judged for that kind of crap anyway? and fuck what celebs are wearing! lol

[Amy Lawn]

Standard nerd uniform of band t-shirt + jeans/shorts for me, hoodie if it's cold. Meticulous planning of band t-shirt is paramount, as @bennyhana22 will attest to. Usually I like to wear across the weekend 1 x Los Campesinos! t-shirt (different one each year), 1 x Taylor Swift t-shirt, and the rest is open. I like to get bonus points for wearing a t-shirt related to a band playing the day I wear it (wearing the t-shirt of the band you're watching ist verboten in most cases). Would like to do fancy dress but I take the coach so never have the space. Back in Leeds festival days I did do some pretty sweet costuming for the last day; robot for LCD Soundsystem in 2010 and Wayne's World for At The Drive-In in 2012 - I was Garth.

Speaking of effort, last year I made a furry purple and pink jacket to wear. This year I am planning on making sparkly things to go with it! However, I don't mind if they get muddy/broken or anything like that. I am definitely not precious about any of it, you take what you don't mind getting wrecked! That includes your brain  

[FuzzyDunlop]

Bin bag chic last year.... no matter the mud, the socks never got dirty.

In 2011... I cant be arsed, Ill stay in my jeans, I wont get too fucked on the wednesday.....

I will once again be wearing my old faithful  travelling hat, missus hates it but I've had it longer than her so tough titties 

As an aside, last year I wore fresh sports socks on the Sunday. They came up over my muddy boots, and were white, pristine, blindingly white... got a few comments from amazed strangers considering all the mud.

[Trout Mask Replica]

The usual studded thong and gimp mask for me. 

Oh and wellies too.
