What on earth does a 40+ wear to a festival?

[ShoppingOnesSelfFit]

Tomorrow - East London, weather says 23 to 18 later on.

I have loads of clothes, so what do I wear?

Thanks!

Jeans and a white boho type top? Can dress up / down with as many trendy accessories as you like. Likewise shoes, anything goes with it, strappy daytime sandals, wedges, gladiators... enjoy!

I'm really excited but I always get the weather wrong, I'm either freezing or too hot. Will it be roasting with lots of people? It is outside...

Cut offs, t shirt, converse, sunglasses, hat and a rucksack with a evening cover up (hoodie, lightweight down or rain jacket if it looks like it's going to drizzle). Be comfortable, something you're happy to sit down on ground in, I personally think jeans/cut offs good as pockets for phone, essentials, shove money in on way back from bar, cons/trainers so your toes don't get too crushed if stood on and if you're using portaloos and they get a bit 'messy'. Suncream, pocket packet of wet wipes and tissues!

Went to our 1st one last year ages 31. 1st day wore a maxi dress, 2nd day wore lightweight culottes and a dinosaur TS, both times took a denim shirt instead of a jacket. I would do shorts instead if I could cope with cold legs at night, but I can't! Trainers with both. Didn't take a rucksack, took the smallest bag I could manage with, definitely sunscreen, wet wipes, hair up out of the way.

Daytime will be roasting, as 23 is warm anyway, but it depends whether you're in the middle of the crowd dancing or mooching around seeing lots.

I saw lots of people with flip flops, but by the early afternoon the portaloos were that bad that you wouldn't want to go in there with bare toes. Take wet wipes/tissues/hand sanitizer!

Thank you for all the replies. I have a vip pass, so apparently better toilets?! I blooming hope so, as my bladder is weak and I drink lots of water.....

So, basically dressing down is key?

Think I might wear jean shorts, though legs are not really good any more.

Thanks again
