One of the highlights of the summer season ahead in the UK has to be the British Music Festival Scene. From the eclectic line-ups to unforgettable memories, and of course, the unpredictable weather. Whether you're heading to Glastonbury, Bestival, Creamfields or Wilderness, your outfit should be as bold as the music and as practical as the setting.

At Frangipani, we believe that dressing for a festival is all about embracing colour, comfort, and confidence.

Here’s how to pack and style your festival wardrobe with five essential tips.

1. Make a Statement
Festivals are the perfect opportunity to go all out with your style, and nothing says ‘main stage energy’ like a vibrant Frangipani shirt. The Festival Shirts collection is designed to stand out, with eye-catching prints, bold colours, and breathable fabrics to keep you cool while dancing. A statement shirt not only adds personality but also pairs effortlessly with staple pieces like jeans or relaxed linen trousers to create an instant ‘outfit’.

2. Layer Up
If there’s one thing you can rely on at UK festivals, it’s that the weather will keep you guessing. One minute, you’re basking in the sun; the next, you’re caught in a downpour. The key is layering. Start with a lightweight Frangipani shirt - its breathable cotton will keep you cool during the day. Then once the sun dips, layer up with one of our tees for added warmth, while still letting your shirt shine.

3. Choose Comfort
Festivals are all about movement - walking from stage to stage, dancing until dawn, and chilling on the grass. Your choice of bottoms should offer both comfort and versatility. Opt for relaxed-fit chinos, linen trousers, or classic easy-fit denims. They pair perfectly with Frangipani shirts and allow you to mix and match outfits without overpacking.

4. Footwear Matters
Festivals require a lot of walking (and occasionally wading through mud), so pack accordingly. Classic options include:

Sturdy boots – A must for muddy fields, a solid pair of waterproof boots keeps your feet dry and comfortable.


Trainers – Ideal for sunny days, lightweight and comfortable trainers will keep you on your feet for hours.


Sandals or sliders – Perfect for lounging, but best avoided in the mosh pit!


5. Finishing Touches

Some accessory essentials include:

Sunglasses – A stylish and protective necessity for those rare but glorious festival sunshine moments. We love Taylor Morris styles paired with our shirts.


Hat or bucket hat – Adds a cool edge to your outfit while shielding you from the sun too.


Crossbody bag – A hands-free, secure way to carry your phone, wallet, and festival essentials.


Lightweight scarf – our 100% wool scarves aren’t just for winter! They’re really handy at festivals for a little extra warmth in the evening, but being 100% wool they are naturally thermo-regulating, so you won’t over heat.
