Festival Style Must-Haves, In Drawings.

How to get festival season ready 2016 update - Cindy Mangomini

Festival Fashion Essentials For 2016, Illustrated.

Summer means festival season and these are my festival must-haves. This is an updated version of an illustrated how-to that I did for Hello Giggles in 2014. I’ve made it a little bit more ‘2016’.

As a regular festival-goer (In Europe) I recommend as absolute essentials: layering for when it gets colder in the evening, comfortable shoes or boots, SPF, dry shampoo, all-in-one wipes and a small rain poncho. If you have these basics covered you can go crazy with your festival accessories!

In The  Mood For More Illustrated Festival Fashion Inspiration?

Take a look here for Festival Style 2019 or 2017 version. You can clearly see the changes but also that some are just festival classics that stay the same.
