Music Festivals Dublin

Bewley's Hotels have teamed up with Fashion Blogger Lorna Weightman to give you the top tips when attending a music festival in Dublin this summer!

One of the highlights of the summer is the abundance of music festivals Ireland has to offer, whether you like to camp or just do a day trip, here are the top fashion tips to help you pack your rucksack!

Get the bag right

Keeping your valuables safe, while looking stylish is key so opt for a cross body bag or satchel! This will also keep your hands free for dancing to your favourite band!

Be original!

So many celebs set the tone for festival style, but this summer why not be the trendsetter and take inspiration, but create your own festival look! Whether it’s customising a t-shirt to making your own accessories, it’s a great time to be creative!

Wear those Wellingtons

Festivals in Ireland can mean one thing - mud! Keeping those feet warm and dry is a fashion priority, so invest in some good wellingtons to last you this festival season and the next! And one important tip - always carry a spare pair of socks!

Leave that maxi dress at home!

Maxi dresses and long skirts are not exactly festival friendly, as they can drag or even worse, be stepped on! Stick to midi or minis for skirts, but ideally, jeans and hardwearing fabrics are more practical.

Stay waterproof

Raincoats do not have to be unflattering! Try a parka with a hood to keep that hair dry, or a trench coat is always an elegant option. Either way, a waterproof jacket is a must!
