Festival Season Checklist: as Provided by adidas

With Spring in bloom, that can mean just one thing - festival season is swiftly on the way! Currently, we're a few months removed from when things truly start to kick off, but that doesn't mean you can't prepare yourself in advance. To give you a helping hand, we've picked out a selection of clothing, apparel and accessories, all courtesy of adidas, to give you some inspiration and ideas on what to wear this year.

When it comes to festival season, it's important to remember to build your outfits from the ground up. Comfort is key in these scenarios, and in all likelihood, you're going to be spending most of the time on your feet, so it's usually better to opt for a lightweight runner instead of heavy silhouettes.

As far as we're concerned, you simply can't go wrong with a pair of Sambas. Having seen another bout of popularity in recent times, the Samba effortlessly pairs classic style with a contemporary twist, making it a first-class choice for anyone looking to keep their fits stylish and comfortable.

If you're someone who likes to keep your creps clean, then you might want to opt for a leather style, as they'll be way easier to clean afterwards. But if you don't mind your kicks with a bit of grimy character, there's nothing wrong with embracing a bit of suede, either. You can check out adidas' full range of Sambas here or, alternatively, the brand's full footwear offering via this link.

Similar to footwear, comfort is essential when it comes to your festival apparel, so relaxed silhouettes and lightweight looks are often the way to go. Relaxed tees pair perfectly with shorts and cargo pants, offering freedom of movement and timeless style, so don't sleep on these looks.

One word of advice - it can be wise to wear something distinguishable just so your friends can find you easier, so don't shy away from pops of colour of loud prints and styles. We all have that one mate that likes to wander off by themselves, so if that happens to be you, make your friends' jobs a little bit easier.

Take this adidas Blokepop T-Shirt as a prime example. Perfectly treading the line between subtle and vivid, this tee will be easy to spot amongst a crowd thanks to its retro bright blue hues that contrast its off-white base hue. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, be sure to check out adidas' Club Originals' selection here, offering the best in retro styles from the 3-Stripe label.

Another somewhat obvious hot tip - don't use your pockets to store your valuables! If you're carrying your phone, keys, ID, etc in your pockets you're way more likely to lose them amongst or crowd, or even worse, become a target for any opportunistic pickpockets, that's why it's essential to carry some form of small bag on you!

Luckily for us, adidas truly have us covered with an array of affordable bag options. Take the appropriately named Festival Bag, for example. Versatile, convenient and available in a trio of hues, this bag is the perfect solution for storing any of your valuables safely and securely. Featuring a duo of zip pockets, a cross-body strap and the iconic adidas Trefoil logo on the front, this is one stylish solution you'll want to get your hands on.
