If you’re braving a music festival with the kids this summer, you’ll need to think about what clothes to pack for them. To make your life easier, we’ve picked out the best festival clothes for kids – fancy dress, as well as the practical stuff…

If you’re taking the kids to Glastonbury, Latitude, Bestival – or any of the other family-friendly festivals – this summer, you’ll need to pack some practical gear, as well as some fun stuff. So we’ve selected the best festival clothes for kids…

Festival clothes for kids #1

Slugs and Snails organic cotton tights

These comfy, colourful cotton cloud and rainbow print tights will keep your kids warm without compromising on style.

€13.50 (£10.30)

Festival clothes for kids #2

Muddy Puddles wellies

These bad boys are £8 down from £16 at the moment so get in there quick. It’s no longer enough to have navy or forest green wellies… oh no – you need bright yellow with a cool umbrella print. Durr.

Festival clothes for kids #3

Kigu Kids Penguin 

These animal suits, originally made for adults but now also available in kids’ sizes are brilliant for festivals. They’re warm, cosy, the easiest fancy dress on the block and (the best thing) they’re machine washable.

Festival clothes for kids #4

Mellow Yellow Angel’s Face tutu

We all have our opinions on tutus but for festivals, they really are quite fun. And cute. And not just for girls – little boys can rock out in a tutu too. At Glastonbury, there’s sure to be a whole load of male role models for them, as 20/30-something men seem to love flaunting their pins in tutus for one weekend only.

£35

Festival clothes for kids #5

Muddy Puddles Pac-an-All-in-One

We all love the idea that the British music festival we attend will be beautifully hot, sunny and dry all weekend but the reality is that there’s almost always at least some rain. So go prepared with one of these brilliant all-in-ones.

£25

Festival clothes for kids #6

What Mother Made african diamond print waxed coat

This african print waxed coat with teal green lining is not only warm – and so functional – but it is also the coolest jacket we’ve ever seen. And there’s no way you’ll lose a child if they’re sporting this.

£50

Make magic with this sweet star-shaped wand. Apparently, with the correct spell, it can make two pints of cider appear within five minutes (you’ll just need to teach your child to loudly demand your drink of choice in front of your partner while waving the wand).
