Festival Fashion 2025 - RD1’s Picks for the Best Mens Festival Outfits
Whether you’re looking for last-minute fits for Glastonbury Festival this weekend, planning ahead for festivals in the upcoming months or even smaller local gigs, finding the right mens festival outfits for 2025 is all about balancing style with comfort.
Let’s face it, UK weather is unpredictable, the crowds are wild, and you’ll be on your feet all day. So, your mens festival clothing has to look good, feel good, and hold up against whatever the weekend throws at you. RD1 has you covered with the freshest mens festival clothing for the season.
So, what’s hot and what should be left in the tent? Let’s get stuck in.
What Do Men Wear to Festivals in the UK?
Let’s be honest, UK weather can’t be trusted. One minute it’s sunny, next it’s chucking it down sideways. So, your mens festival wear needs to handle all that and still look good.
Start with a lightweight tee, layer up with a proper jacket, and throw in a bag to stash your sunnies and snacks. The vibe is laid-back, but considered, basically, like you’ve thought about it just enough. Graphic tees, comfy shorts, windbreakers and bucket hats are still top of the list for festival clothes men are backing in 2025.
What Are the Festival Fashion Trends for Men in 2025?
Festival fashion this year is all about mixing terrace nostalgia with updated cuts. Think retro sportswear meets chilled-out streetwear. Expect mens festival fashion to lean into ‘90s fits, bold logos, bucket hats, and functional outerwear that wouldn’t look out of place in a Liam Gallagher music video.
Colour-wise, we’re seeing muted greens, navy blues, and earth tones pop up again, but paired with brighter statement bits.
What Should You Wear to an Outdoor Music Festival?
Think breathable fabrics, decent pockets, and stuff that won’t fall apart if you end up crowd surfing. A graphic t-shirt with a bit of personality goes a long way, especially paired with shorts or cargo trousers that can handle a bit of mud.
Stick to a jacket that’s lightweight but water-resistant, because nothing kills a vibe like being soaked before the headline set. Accessories? A crossbody bag and a hat will keep your hands free and your head sunburn-free.
