Looking good in a puddle of mud can be tricky…

We’re full of useful information for anyone heading to Electric Picnic!

Stage times and acts and all of that useful kind of info can be found right here, pharmacists advice in the lead-up to the festival is available here, while there’s also some info for everyone traveling to Stradbally via car, as well as what kind of weather we can be expecting on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

But we’ve got some advice for anyone looking for help on an even more basic aspect of festival-going than that.

What should we be wearing?

Well, we asked the men’s style experts for you, so you can stock up on all this fashionable before you head down.

Alison Daly, the Arnotts Menswear Buyer, told us the following:

“Layering is key at festivals, you really have to prepare for all eventualities. Light fabrics are good, for example, a lightweight jacket, G-Star have a strong selection.

“Shorts are also a great way to feel dry if it’s wet, as opposed to jeans, which will just stick to your skin if it rains.

“Tropical print shirts and sunnies are ideal for a laid-back festival vibe if the weather is good. Penguin, Lyle and Scott and G-Star have great print shirts this season.”

So there you have it.

Layers. Shorts. Tropical prints. Go forth and be fashionable.
