What are you wearing to a rock festival in the north?

Festival fashion rule number one: your clothes should look like a passport to a sex city, even after you’ve done loads of K in a muddy field, stayed up all night and not washed, and are covered in bodily fluids. Otherwise them there threads are just prison bars locking you out from fun times.
