Let's face it, unless you're La Moss, or planning to arrive at the campsite with a crack team of stylists, looking your most fabulous is no easy feat at a music festival. There's the lack of toilets, washing facilities, privacy, and sleep to contend with - plus why would you want to waste time straightening your hair and tottering about in heels when your favourite band is on stage? Click on the gallery below to see MyDaily's guide to the essentials for mastering festival chic.

Home from home
We love this cosy tent created by textile design guru Zandra Rhodes; it's just like sleeping in a work of art, plus it has the added bonus of being easy to spot in a sea of sludge-coloured tents.
Zandra Rhodes Teepee, £119.99 at Millets

The kitchen sink
Hmmm... Luggage is a tricky one. First of all forget anything on rollers as they don't tend to perform on a mud-caked field. This holdall from Topshop is roomy, easy to carry and (as a bonus) pretty easy on the eye.
Embossed Floral Square Holdall, £35.00 at Topshop

Rain or shine?
We love Hunter's half height Wellington boots – ideal for trudging through the fields. And the snakeskin effect is über-chic. And if the sun does decide to shine, these pretty flip flops will look perfect with pedicured feet.
Floral flip flops from £40 Paul by Paul Smith
Hunter short Wellington boots, £99 at Country Attire

Cherry picked
This print waterproof makes the cag-in-a-bag concept infinitely more palatable.

Dining out
Ditch the paper plates, plastic cutlery and dodgy food from a van for something altogether more elegant. The lacquer red tin contains ceramic mugs and plates, salt and pepper cruets and embroidered napkins. Watch your fellow festival goers look on in envy...

For the tent terrified
If the thought of a night spent under canvas fills you with horror, a campervan provides an alternative festival experience that's still authentic. We love Snail Trail's cute vans - with names like Matilda, Betty and Prudence, each has its own unique interior, complete with retro touches like a crochet blankets and chintzy cushions.
Approximately £450 for a long weekend Snail Trail
