How to Dress for a Summer Music Festival

Music festivals aren’t just all about the music, and it’s about the fashion too. Of course, you’ll want to look your best when you take hundreds of pictures to post on your social media accounts. However, you also want to be as comfortable as you can in your clothes at the music festival. How do you balance comfort and fashion? Check out these tips on how to dress for a scorching hot summer music festival.

Easy Breezy

Choose an outfit that is easy to wear.

Sunblock

This is the number one thing that you must have at a summer music festival. The last things you want out of a music festival is sunburns and inflamed peeling skin, not to mention an uneven tan. Use the sunblock before you go out under the sun, and reapply every two to three hours for maximum protection. You should also apply aloe vera after you’re done for the day to return moisture into the skin so that it won’t dry out and peel.…
