With only days left until Electric Picnic, we’re frantically checking the forecast to see what the unpredictable Irish climate has in store for us this weekend.

You’ll want to stay comfy and dry but of course, wear all the fab outfits you have in mind too. If you still haven’t found the right look to bring you from day to night, don’t fret. We have style inspiration that will leave you Insta-ready for a fun filled weekend. Inspired by the likes of Coachella and Glastonbury, you won’t even need a filter…

The ‘dress’

Dresses are definitely our go-to item for this year’s Electric Picnic. They’re easy to pack, versatile and if it rains, it will dry quickly, unlike your fave jeans. A dress is easy to accessorise and will even make your wellies look good. This floral New Look pick is €22.99, pair it with ankle boots and a fedora for a simple but stylish ensemble. A versatile body suit

This bodysuit is a must-have festival piece, especially if you find yourself scrambling to put together a trendy last-minute  look. It’s ideal for Electric Picnic as this pick, €25 from Topshop, will go with almost everything. Better still, they’re perfect for layering so you can adjust your look, depending on whether it’s a fab day or pouring rain. Always remember your Pac a Mac



How many times have you worn a bin liner fashioned into a makeshift poncho because you didn’t bring a Pac a Mac? They can easily fit over your jacket of choice (denim jackets are absolutely key this season) and it will keep you dry at all times. Penneys is your one-stop shop for last-minute festival essentials and pretty much everything is cheap as chips too.

Statement shorts

These feature in many a festival wardrobe, from denim to leather to neon and everything in between. You can wear them with bare legs or over tights/leggings if you so wish and our favourite part is the fact that you can style them so many different ways. They’re definitely one of the easiest ways to festival dress and they look fab with the piece of summer 2017, a kimono.

Festival accessories

The right choker or statement crossbody bag is an easy way to update your uniform of comfortable shorts and pretty dresses. If you’d rather not go bare legged but it’s too early for heavy opaque tights, fishnets are a must and it’s one way to fast track your look to festival ready. Changing up your accessories will ensure each outfit looks different even if you’re recycling pieces.
