. five items that colored the festival fashion.
In the three years that festivals have been at a standstill, trends, world affairs, and respective thoughts have changed dramatically. So, how exactly has festival fashion changed? And what has not changed? We pick up five items that caught our eyes at the festival site!
KEY ITEM01 The new standard for festivals is the fashionable and practical sun hat.
Anyway, one thing I saw a lot of at THE CAMP BOOK 2022 was sun hats that covered the back of the neck. There were so many of them! Of course there were caps, hats, and chilvas, but in the past two years, a new style of hat has been established. Major brands and garage brands alike released sunshades in a wide variety of shapes and designs. Many of them are 2-way hats, in which the cloth part can be removed.
KEY ITEM02 The bag must be a small one. Size and design are ten different.
A small bag that can hold the minimum necessary personal belongings is a must-have item for enjoying festivals more freely and stress-free. Jackets and pants with many pockets are convenient, but a bag makes a big difference in peace of mind. Bags made by outdoor manufacturers remain a firm favorite. What has changed since before Corona is that more and more people are using climbing ropes as a bag, as represented by the "Yosemite Trap".
KEY ITEM03 The footing remains keen and strong!
Keen sandals are still as popular as they were three years ago, with their easy on/off, breathability, moderate cushioning, and grip. We got rained out on the first day of the festival, and that made for some rough terrain, but the "Keen" sandals worked in all-terrain conditions. It was impressive to see so many people wearing trekking boots, not to mention "Yogi," "Newport," "Unique," and others. It looks like they will support your feet at festivals for the next 10 years.
KEY ITEM04 Festival fashion is a mirror of the times! Tie-dye users are rapidly increasing.
. I also saw a lot of tie-dye, which the hippies who begged for peace loved so much. Coronas and wars dominated the news, the yen weakened, and gasoline prices skyrocketed. The yen has weakened, gasoline prices have skyrocketed, and environmental problems show no signs of improvement.... Many people were wearing tie-dye not only on T-shirts, but also on socks and other accessories.
KEY ITEM05 There is no more versatile gear than a hand towel!
The traditional Japanese tenugui is not only for wiping hands and sweat, but can also be used as a heat stroke countermeasure by wetting it with water and wrapping it around the neck, or as a first-aid measure when you lose your mask, covering your mouth can simply prevent splashes. It is also a versatile item that can be used as a small accent to coordinate with your outfit. It can be worn around the neck, on the head, or even attached to a bag, and can be carried around in many different ways. For now, you should keep a piece of it in your bag!
