Plus Size Festival Outfits

Turn heads and take centre stage

Festival season is in full swing, and although you can NEVER guarantee the great British weather will go to plan, you CAN ensure that your outfit is ready to rock!

Ready to party the day and night away

A great plus size festival outfit needs to tick many boxes. As you walk from field to beer-tent and from Portaloo back to the dancing zone, you want to feel confident that you’ve chosen an outfit that is comfortable, dependable and that matches your flower crown!


Feel good festival vibes

We’ve put together our top picks of LJ’s mood-boosting, free flowing styles so all you need to think about is what colour glitter face paint to go for.

Jumpsuits

A great option for day to night events will always be a jumpsuit. They’re comfortable, stylish and give plenty of scope for dancing. Our Donna Dreamcatcher would be at the top of our list for a festival – featuring a shimmering foil design that will sparkle in the sun. Now hold my beer whilst I find a spot of grass for us to chill on!

Summer Dress

Sunny dress + cowboy boots = classic festival styles

You’ll be hard pressed to find a festival where this look isn’t in action. It’s a winning combination that works year after year. Choose what makes you happy, but we’d recommend the Rain Dance, The Maya Bay, the Indie or the Ocean Club for this. All are flexible, free-flowing and great for dancing. Their feel-good colour options also mean you’ll fit right in with the crowd.

Worried about a little chill as the day turns to evening? Our Barcelona bolero will scrunch up nicely in your bag and can be pulled out in an instant to take off the cool of the night air.

Short & Top Combo

Being at a festival is all about having a good time and if you’re most comfortable in a shorts and tee kinda combo then roll with that for your festival look.

By choosing a pair of magic shorts,  pedal pushers or our Candy Culottes, you can be sure that wherever you sit, stand or lay you can do it in comfort. There’ll be no zips pressing into your skin or feeling the need to undo a button because the combination of burger and cider have left you feeling a tad uncomfortable. No, there’s no worry of that with the magic shorts because they will move with you. Their elasticated waistband and magic stretch mean you can continue to smile whilst your friends in regular shorts might feel like throwing theirs in the bin!

We’d then choose a top with a cute boho vibe to match – our choice would be the sweetpea, the Sakari, the ‘Peace & Love’ or a tie-dye ‘Enchanted’

Accessories

Once you’ve put together the basis of your outfit, you then want to go FULL OUT with the accessories. Remember most of the time there are NO RULES when it comes to festival fashion. It’s all about enjoyment and feeling free in your own skin, so whether you think it’s a little bit crazy or a little too razzle-dazzle, who cares? If you like it then rock it!

If you’re looking for extras to jazz up your look we’d add

  • A pair of LJ’s sunglasses (keeps out the sun AND hides-tired eyes the following morning)
  • Jewellery – an ear cuff and one of our buddha necklaces would work really well
  • AND lastly with all this effort going into our outfit we’d be sure to complete whatever look with the LJ’s Glow – a natural looking tan that will give you that Sunkissed look to compliment your summer festival outfit.

Holiday Checklist

Get Ahead of the Game

Dreaming of blue skies, warm weather and fruity cocktails?

Before you jet off, let’s look at what we at LJ’s think are the TOP PRIORITY things to pack!

The Important Stuff

Before you start sipping that 6am gin and tonic in the airport lounge, get together a list of the most important things to take – we’re talking about tickets, passports, money and of course phone chargers! Once you’ve got all the boring stuff out the way let’s focus on the good stuff.


Travel Outfit

We spoke in our last blog about planning for the journey. If you haven’t seen this yet you can catch up here.

Holiday Basics

Let’s start with a few key pieces that we think are essential. Here’s what we’d pack:

For the Beach/Pool

Our favourite place to be is on a sun lounger, sipping a sangria and watching as the waves lap at the shore. It can be a perfect moment IF you’re prepared!

  • LJ’s Swimsuit a 2 piece version for sunbathing and a 1 piece version for the waterpark
  • Large Beach bag (essential for carrying suncream, towels and of course your favourite book!)
  • Beach Cover up (we are loving both the ‘California’ and ‘Bermuda’ kaftan for this
  • Sunglasses – go for one of these plastic styles during the day. (There’s nothing worse than hot metal on your face)
  • Towel, Flip Flops and wet wipes (ideal for wiping sand off your lip-gloss!)

Daytime Looks

Prepare yourself by looking at the weather report before you go. If you’re heading somewhere lovely and warm, here’s what we’d pack.

Evening Looks

It’s not often we have an excuse to dress up every night. So we like to make the most of it when on our jollies! No suitcase would be complete without these evening essentials:

  • 2 or 3 wrap dresses (a difficult task to choose our favourite, but we’d probably go for something colourful like the ‘Honolulu’ or a ‘Dotty’ that could be worn from day to night.
  • Couple of necklaces – we’d pack one multicoloured and perhaps a neutral one so we could mix and match with all our outfits
  • Wide leg trousers – the sunset nights would 100% be going in our holiday case. Loose and comfortable, these are dressy and perfect for hiding your legs from hungry bugs!
  • Dressy tops – choose easy to pack options such as the ‘Claudia’ or the ‘Faith’. We’d also be going back to those ‘Lolita vests’.
  • Phone/Purse holder – you don’t want to take the kitchen sink out when you’re exploring the local nightlife. With just enough room in the ‘Opula’ bag for a phone, cash card, room key and lipstick this is what we’d choose. It also boasts a handy wrist strap meaning you can carry it with ease.

Toiletries

Everyone will be different with what they pack ‘toiletry wise’ but we think you should make sure to include at least these:

  • Suncream and Aftersun (choose one with bug repellent to save space in your bag)
  • Make up – including waterproof mascara and a face cream with SPF
  • First aid (plasters, paracetamol, medication, bite cream, antiseptic cream and cleaning wipes)
  • LJ’s Glow (if you don’t tan easily then why not fake it?) take along your LJ’s tanning bundle and apply as and when you need a little extra bronzing. Please note this does not contain SPF and so you will still need your sun cream.
  • Travel wash – if you prefer to travel light and are happy to rotate your outfits then pop a tube of this in your case and get the most out of everything you take away!

And that’s pretty much where the packing would end for us. We’re sure you’ll have your own extras to add. We’d love to hear what you pack – let us know!
