The Stylish Guy’s Festival Checklist

Words by Emma Pradella

11 May 2023

You’ve read our festival guide. You’ve survived the virtual queue. You’ve bagged the tickets. All that’s missing now is your outfit and essentials. Knowing what to wear for three days of dancing in a muddy field can be a challenge, but doing so in style? Here are MR PORTER’s six festival essentials.

01.

The Collina Strada water bottle

Every festival-goer knows the importance of having a water bottle. Collina Strada will keep you hydrated in the most stylish way possible. Embellished with crystals, this bottle is the statement accessory you never knew you needed.

02.

The Story Mfg. bucket hat

If you’re not ready to go full crochet just yet, this bucket hat by Story Mfg. will do the trick. It’s knitted from organic cotton and is light enough to be stowed away in a belt bag or messenger bag when the sun goes down.

03.

The Off-White sunglasses

However peaceful and family-friendly a festival may be, brace yourself for nights of broken sleep. These smart sunglasses by Off-White will protect your peepers from the sun and hide the bags under your eyes.

04.

The ROA boots

Sturdy footwear is essential at a festival and with ROA’s hiking boots you don’t have to compromise on style. High padded collars provide support, while Vibram Megagrip soles can cope with a variety of terrains.

05.

The Master-Piece bag

Master-Piece’s Confi messenger bag is the business for all your festival essentials. The webbing strap is detachable, so it could double up as a wash bag, and it has a handy front pocket to keep your valuables secure.

06.

The Stone Island packable jacket

The first rule of packing for a festival is not to take too much. This lightweight padded jacket by Stone Island can be folded into its own internal pocket, so won’t take up too much space in a weekend bag or backpack. It has a hood and is treated with a water-resistant membrane should the weather take a turn for the worse.
