When you think of festivals you think of great music, amazing style, and hopefully some bright sunny weather. However, it can be hard to be fashionable at a festival without gaining sore feet from hours of standing and dancing. Although, by following the tips below you can help you be comfortable and glamourous at a festival, showcasing your unique style.
Advice for how to be comfortable and glamourous at a festival
Pretty but Painless
Comfort is the key to surviving a festival. However, comfort isn’t always pretty. Your shoes are an important decision, as you’ll be on your feet a lot during the all day or weekend event. Jam packed queues and performances lasting long into the night leave you up on your feet for hours at a time! Avoid high heels, or tighter shoes and choose a softer sole. Every pair of Solely Original shoes is made with a memory foam sole, for additional support.
Advice for avoiding foot pain: Bring plasters and heel pads to help prevent or reduce the pain of blisters. Even a good pair of woolly socks hidden under your wellies will help keep the discomfort to a minimum.
Style is a Must
However, feeling good isn’t all you need to consider. To be comfortable and glamorous at a festival you also need to consider the style of your shoes. Yes, your shoes might be leaving you feeling like you’re walking on clouds but do they look heavenly as well? At a festival, it’s all about individual style, colour and boldness. Find a pair of shoes that aren’t just comfortable but that express your personality, that matches your outfit as well as making you stand out from the thousands of festival goers.
Advice for finding a style you love: Consider current trends stylists recomend and instagram street style posts and see if you can mix them with staple festivals styles such as leather fringe, sequins, glitter and pom poms.
Remember Weather Appropriate Shoes
Everyone hopes for a cloudless sky with the sun blaring down as you dance. However, this isn’t always the case. Before buying your festival shoes you need to check the forecast and see if you’ve been blessed with sun or disappointed with some rain. Even a light sprinkling of rain can cause havoc at a festival. With thousands of people dancing and moving the wet grass will soon become mud. Wearing a pair of gladiator sandals isn’t ideal for that kind of environment. You can still wear a pair of wellies more suited for mud that are comfortable and glamorous.
Advice for dealing with the weather: avoid delicate materials like suede or lace instead swap for durable materials like leather or rubber wellies, in pretty colours!
