Men’s Festival Fashion

Summer has arrived which means that festival season has kicked off again. Weekends spent outdoors and camping in the temperamental British weather means you need to be prepared for all eventualities and still have room in your bag for those all important beers. Fortunately packing is made easy at River Island, with everything you need for your capsule festival wardrobe available in our festival shop.

Your must-haves are versatile pieces that you can mix and match with ease – printed tees, casual shorts, shirts and jeans are perfect for jumping around in, while a casual jacket should endure any downpours.

Complete your look with some well chosen accessories – a woven trilby and rucksack are key, while a feather head dress will ensure you stand out in the crowd.

For celebrity style inspiration look to Olly Murs. He took to the fields at V Festival last year in chinos and a tee, layering with a casual shirt and boots for a cool festival-ready look. Chinos are of course a modern staple, and long or short, they are key to your festival style.

Casual shorts – whether they’re denim or linen, combat or chinos, are probably the most important piece in your festival bag. Stylish, versatile and easy to pack, you can roll up a couple of pairs compact in your bag and wear them everyday with a change of top.

When it comes to footwear, ditch the wellies and go for espadrilles, desert boots or woven shoes – not quite as practical but much more stylish!

Whatever festival you’re heading to this summer, visit River Island’s online festival shop to get all of your essentials either they are men’s casual shorts or desert boots.
