So you've got your ticket, found a pitch, met up with your friends and are ready to hit the festival. But what to wear? Well, the simple rule at Glastonbury is that there are no rules. Literally anything goes.
As we dressed for comfort (it was the hottest Glastonbury festival in the 40 year history) we certainly didn't stand out....
Heck, even these guys didn't raise many eyebrows.
Nor did these guys...
I mean, frankly you have to push the boat right out to make a splash. However, something like this is just the thing to make people stand to attention.
Or you can really go to town and hook yourself up with an outfit like this...
Actually, I had to check my photos the following morning for that one because I was convinced I dreamt meeting them. Just goes to show that dressing up is for everyone. Even the festival staff wear whatever takes their fancy. This girl was handing out loo rolls.
And the boys in blue got into the spirit of things. 
But when it comes to performers, the fancy dress closest is your oyster. So even though you have the opening slot on Sunday, you should still make an effort. Some got it right and pulled out all the stops. This is Paloma Faith and those are giant, erm, balls. Or ovaries. We couldn't decide.
Florence opted for a simple dramatic frock to go with her flame red hair. That'll do nicely.
However, some people decided that all you really needed was a good ass shake.
While some missed the point entirely. Oh Kate, I remember when the best thing about your act was that you weren't bad looking.

But my top two tips are these:1. wear decent shoes. I opt for Birkenstocks during the day, but switch to my trusted Hunter wellies when the sun goes down because frankly I moan like a little bitch when I'm cold and that's not fun for anyone.
Sadly, the Eco Black Belt (despite being a master of the ancient arts of kung fu) is not the master of her footwear. Having ditched one pair of flip flops already she bought a cheap replacement pair at the festival. £7. It's probably not going to shock you that they lasted only a few hours.
So after drunkenly wandering the festival looking for the fucking charlatan that sold them to her (seriously, you don't want to mess with her) we decided the only thing to do was repair them til we could get back to camp. Remember how I said her boyfriend (Outdoors Man) could survive in the desert on 2 pieces of string? Well, he's pretty handy with shoddy footwear too.
2. Wear a hat. Not only will you keep the 10 hours of sun off your face, but you will also style up any outfit and express your inner self. Apparently I married a cowboy.
And that's Fashion, Festival stylee. Stay tuned for the Food Chapter. And yes, eventually I'll actually write about the music.
