Wellies

Get yourself a decent pair of wellies. Good, comfortable wellies are a must whatever the weather. If you only have hiking boots and it rains, your jeans will be destroyed.

Good bag

Bring a decent sized bag that has good support. A big cross-body bag is great to carry all the freebies in.

Spare bag

Bring a backup bag. Pop a light

fabric tote in your handbag that you can use to carry extra purchases as you will be tempted by all the great products on offer at Ploughing.

prepare for the Sun

Prepare for sun as much as you prepare for the rain. September can be hot so bring sunglasses.

A dash of red

Keep it chic with a dash of red lipstick. Fatal Red by Maybelline will stay put and make you feel somewhat glamorous, even if you are covered in mud by the end of the day.

Have fun

Have fun with your outfit. Something as simple as a bright scarf or accessory can bring a pop of colour to your otherwise functional outfit.

Makeup

Don’t go light on the makeup. Wear heavy makeup that doesn’t need reapplying. If you’re working at the Ploughing, your day will probably be a lot longer than the standard eight hours, so your makeup will wear off and there isn’t exactly comfy bathrooms to top it up. – Mary Phelan

It’s all about

the accessories

Come loaded down with accessories and umbrellas. A wide-brim hat can be a very stylish option and should help keep you dry if some showers are expected.

Keep the feet warm

Leggings or thick tights can keep you comfortably warm, just be sure to wear really good socks.

don’t wear cheap boots

Invest in a decent pair to keep you going over the three days.

Dress for one

weather scenario

Don’t forget that layering is essential. From cute T-shirts to trendy jackets – keep it light, keep it waterproof but keep it fashionable.”
