Wow! The Edinburgh Fringe is Coming – The World’s Largest Arts Festival! It is the biggest festival of arts and culture on the planet. It runs for three weeks, from 6 to 30 in August. The city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the world. Artists & performers take to thousands of stages throughout the city to present shows for every taste.
I know most of you are excited about this festival as it was canceled last year due to COVID issues. Now, we have a chance to enjoy this time with family and a group of friends, Yaay!
Excited? But what should I wear? This is such a thing that always comes to the mind of many women, whether it is a party or a festival.
In autumn, layers are essential for the trip. With a warm cotton cardigan or sweater, scarf, a cute and comfortable long sleeve shirt, and women’s full-length winter coats, you can hit the town!
For those people who have never been to the Festival Fringe before, the first thing you need to know is that this is not a field and mud festival. In other words, tiny shorts, wellies, and flower headbands are most definitely not part of the dress code here.
Let’s look at the dressing List for Edinburgh Fringe:
Clothing:
Scotland’s weather is variable, even in August, and it changes throughout the day. It is also possible that it is hot at night and it starts getting cold in the morning, so pack your clothes in such a way that you can enjoy the festival comfortably. The recommended collection includes:
- A pair of jeans -try aiming for ripped or faded jeans in a skinny or straight leg style. It will give you a white and creamy denim look.
- A pair of sorts or skirt- as this festival isn’t a fancy event at all. But it’s okay to have an option to mix up my outfits a bit.
- For the base layer, as per the temperature, short-sleeved shirts, tank tops, full sleeve shirts are good options to carry with you.
- Stuffable rain jacket
- Bathing suit- Well, you’ve booked a hotel for yourself, but you never know when you might need it.
- A pair of Ballet Flats- a flat sandal is good to carry with you. If you are not comfortable, then one extra pair of shoes is okay.
- Louis wool overcoat
- Comfortable wearing shoes- Edinburgh is a great walking city, and the Fringe venues are mainly close to each other, but some streets are very steep, so you’ll want good support for walking around. There are also lovely hikes nearby to explore.
Gears:
As I said earlier, the weather in Scotland is variable. Then there’s some essential gear you should pack:
- It rained for seven days last year, so it is good to carry a small umbrella with you.
- Most importantly, you won’t need to carry anything such as expensive jewelry or makeup products. Sunscreen lotion and cold cream are enough. But, if you want to express your personality with makeup, go for it.
- Carry a Plug adapter and power bank to charge your devices.
- Unlocked phone with 1 GB pack. It helps you to navigate around the city easily.
- Plus, carry a medium size in -hand tote bag. In this, you can keep an extra sweater, umbrella, water bottle so that it can be easily found when needed.
In terms of winter wear, there is a vast collection for you to choose from:
Coats and Jackets:
Coats and jackets traditionally are considered a centerpiece wardrobe when the weather gets colder: no wonder there are so many sexy and cute outfit ideas for winter with coats.
Anorak:
Anorak, also known as a parka, is a hooded coat. It comes with faux fur inside and is waterproof from the outside. As they also have high collars, this is perfect for super cold days, especially snowy or rainy.
Cocoon Coats:
These coats are loosely fitted with voluminous sleeves. The best part is that inside the coat, you can wear a wool sweater or chunky knit. To get a perfect look, you can wear it with a pair of tight jeans or leggings.
Louis Wool Overcoat:
A wool coat can provide you with extra warmth. Louis wool overcoat is the perfect winter wear option. You can wear it with a pair of tight jeans or leggings. Plus, you can also accessorize your wool coat with a winter hat and scarf.
Trench Coat:
Trench coats pair well with casual as well as formal attire. They are waterproof coats, going a long way under the knees. It gives you a more attractive and classy look on cold winter days.
