Festival season is here! What to pack so you shine (and don't forget anything important)?
Summer and festivals simply belong together! Whether you’re heading to a music festival in the great outdoors, a street food festival in town or a weekend chilling with friends under the open sky, one thing is certain – a properly packed backpack or bag can make all the difference to whether you really enjoy the festival.
To make things easier for you, we’ve put together a list of essentials that definitely shouldn’t be missing from your festival kit – and the good news is: you’ll find all of it easily in our shopping centre!
1. Festival outfit – style + comfort
Comfortable clothing: Shorts, an oversized T-shirt, an airy dress or a kimono – a festival look should be not only on trend, but practical too.
Accessories: A hat, a scarf, sunglasses – they’ll not only protect you from the sun, but add some flair to your outfit.
Footwear: Trainers, wellies (if it looks like mud) or stylish sandals – above all, they need to last all day (and all night).
💡 TIP: Visit our fashion stores such as NEW YORKER, where you’ll find new festival collections.
2. Backpack or bum bag – everything to hand
A small rucksack or a practical bum bag – ideally with several compartments. You’ll have everything to hand and your hands free for dancing.
A waterproof cover or rain cape for your backpack – the weather can surprise you.
3. Essential festival hygiene
Wet wipes – your best friend.
Hand sanitiser
Toilet paper (at festivals you can never be sure!)
Mini toiletries: dry shampoo, sun cream, lip balm, insect repellent.
4. Extras for comfort and the full experience
A sitting mat or a folding blanket
A rain poncho or a light jacket
Earplugs and a sleep mask
A water bottle (ideally collapsible or insulated)
Snacks or energy bars
And the most important thing? A GOOD MOOD!
