If you’re heading to Reading or Leeds Festival this summer (or any outdoor event, in fact) you need to be prepared. Not just for an insane night of pop and rock, but for the great British weather.
We’ve already had a scorching heatwave, and with the likelihood of mud, probably some rain, maybe more sizzling heat and then perhaps back to rain again (maybe throw in a rainbow too) knowing what to wear can be as confusing as knowing when to time your trip to the showers.
Enter: Regatta’s summer sale, which is packed full of everything from waterproof jackets that actually look good in a crowd selfie, to wellies that can handle mud and loo queues. And when the sun goes down, there’s plenty of cosy fleeces for when you need that extra layer of warmth.
Our advice? Jump onto the women’s sale now before you’re forced to pay an obscene price for a plastic poncho if you get caught in the rain.
Keep scrolling to discover everything you need to enjoy a festival in style.
