Creating the ideal festival outfit for men
By Maarten Verhoef

The ideal festival outfit for men: striking, practical and yet chic!
Dancing in the open air, laughing with friends and letting loose completely: does that sound like music to your ears? Then you surely love going to festivals. If you've managed to get a ticket for one of the many festivals this summer, you'll naturally want to look absolutely top-notch. A festival calls for a striking, cheerful outfit that is simultaneously practical and comfortable. After all, you need to be able to move freely throughout the entire day, and sometimes even for several days. Finding it difficult to figure out what to wear? Then we have a three-step plan for you to put together the perfect festival outfit for men!
Step 1: Go for striking
When you're heading to a festival, you can really pull out all the stops with your outfit. From fringe to mesh, and from metallic to wild prints: anything goes! With a cheerful men's t-shirt, you'll bring a festive vibe to the festival. Or opt for a short-sleeved shirt with a striking print. Add fun accessories to this, such as a summer hat or sunglasses, and you'll easily create the ideal festival outfit.
Step 2: Comfort is key
At festivals, you can get very warm. You'll be dancing for many hours in a large crowd of people, often in the blazing sun. So choose comfortable clothing that breathes well. Cotton, linen and other natural materials are breathable and are known for keeping you nice and cool. For example, go for our striking pelican-print shirt. This shirt is made from 100% cotton, so perfect for a warm festival day!
Keep in mind that the weather can also be less pleasant. Should bad weather unexpectedly be forecast, it's a good idea to add a rain poncho to your festival outfit. Being prepared counts for two!
Step 3: Shoes make the man
Go for shoes that feel comfortable and that you can confidently walk (and dance!) in all day long. Leave flip-flops at home, as well as your newest white trainers. Beer stains, mud and people accidentally stepping on your feet are inevitable. Instead, choose a comfortable pair of sneakers. Go for an older pair, or treat them well with an impregnating spray before you head to the festival. That way your shoes can take a beating and you won't have to worry about them getting damaged or dirty.
Enjoy the festival!
