Festival clothing essentials

It''s summer, so that means festivals. But it also means a good deal of rain, particularly during weekends and bank holidays.

For example, you know it must be Glastonbury weekend if it is sunny all week then decides to rain for the weekend. The same can be said for Reading and Leeds in August. This has even more bad luck because it coincides with a bank holiday, so you can bet all your savings on its being wet and grey.

Rain and tents equals bad news. Add in some thick mud, no real washing facilities and thousands of people and fashion is probably the last thing on your mind. However, it doesn''t mean you should forget all sense of style.

So you need to wear clothes that will keep you warm, and as dry as possible, clothes that are comfortable and items that will beat the sunburn if the sun does make an appearance, but at the same time you don''t want to look like your parents before they go walking along the South Downs in winter. So what can you wear?

The ultimate festival fashion must-have are wellies. Even the plain green ones your mum has for doing the garden have become cool thanks to the likes of Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. But seeing as mum won''t let you pinch hers, buy a dazzlingly bright pair of even some with crocodile- or snake-skin effect and a wedged heel.

A pair of rubber wellies is not where your feet want to be if the temperature does rise however. Sandals are a girls'' best friend and are splattered across the high street again this summer. The best styles should be covered in straps so that you won''t loose your shoes in the sticky mud.

To funk up an otherwise dowdy rain mac (which girls are unfortunately an essential) add a straw trilby and printed scarf. Not only will these keep you warm and a tad bit drier, if you get a dose of peeling sunburn these will protect your skin from further damage and the rest of the world from seeing your flaky skin.

Work the festival scene with flower power. From skirts to dresses, tops to hoodies, the paisley flower effect will add a welcome touch of femininity to your wellington boots and oversized parka combo.

To maintain some level of decency, pick shorts over skirts and dresses. They are bang on trend this season and look great dressed down or up, and mean you can crowd surf your way to the main stage without flashing your pants.
