What
To Wear??!!!
GIRLS:
Get that bikini top out - they reckon the sun's gonna shine! Make sure
you don't burn though - to avoid your shoulders frazzling in the hottest
part of the day (12.00-14.00) with a skinny fit eFestivals
t-shirt (they're ALL wearing them y'know). Skirts are always a good
bet, 'cause if your legs get cold you can a) pull up your over-the-knee
socks or b) wear a pair of flares underneath (that trouser/skirt combo
is still looking fab).
BOYS:
Shorts are good in the sunshine, then all us girls can have a good look
at your legs. H&M or Topman do cheap combat shorts or ¾ length combat
trousers - the great thing is that they have pockets so you can carry
around all your girlfriends bits and pieces for her. Again, don't burn
your lovely muscle-y shoulders! Get an eFestivals
t-shirt.
GIRLS
& BOYS:
RAIN!
In case of light showers, get a kagool/pac-a-mac. The more lightweight
the fabric, the quicker it dries. Don't walk around in soggy jeans all
weekend or you'll be prone to chaffing.
WARMTH!
If the weather's good - hurrah! But don't forget that the sun goes in
at night-time and the moon doesn't generate much heat. You might want
to take woolly jumpers so you can party through the night. Hats, long
socks and gloves are also a plus - basically anything that covers your
pulse points (neck, wrists, back of knees, groin - yes smirk all you like
but these areas are where your blood flow is most exposed to the cold
air…).
FEET!
Boots, boots, boots. They're great 'cause they keep your feet warm at
night and protect them from drunken people stepping on them. And make
sure they don't give you blisters because you will be walking for HOURS.
If it's muddy, let them get caked in mud because it will form an extra
water-tight layer against the rain. Take a pair of old trainers in your
Going-Home-Kit (see below) and if the weather is fine then you can wear
them instead of your boots.
GOING-HOME-KIT!
In the event that all your clothes are caked in mud, save an outfit (comfy
clothes advised) to travel home in. Four hours in a coach/car or even
the train journey will much easier in a fluffy jumper and your most comfy
trainers.

no useful advice for you, but I promise to laugh. A lot.
