T-shirt weather: the 5 least seasonal outfits at Reading 2016
28 August 2016
Ahhh, Reading and Leeds - happens over August Bank Holiday, always guaranteed to be an absolute scorcher.
Even on the years it rains, Reading and Leeds get about as hot as you can in the UK. By the time you get home, your mum's horrified to see you walk in covered head-to-toe in mud that's been sun-baked to your hoodie in a layer harder than industrial concrete.
What we're saying is, it's fairly advisable to take some shorts. Maybe a vest top. Especially if you're, say, going to leap around a stage surrounded by lights and fire.
But who are we to dictate what's sensible? Here's our five favourite flat-out refusals to sartorially submit to the season.
1. Die Antwoord's orange snowsuits
We understand this is a look, we really do. And that they're from South Africa so maybe a hot day in Berkshire doesn't phase them. But that's the sort of thing we're planning on packing for Omsk 2017 - snuggly!
2. Krept and Konan's quilted hoodies
When you're delivering a set that hot there's no need for this, surely mates? We suppose if you're ice cold you can wrap up for a polar exploration in August and jump around a stage without breaking a sweat.
3. Tonight Alive's full-body thermals
Don't get us wrong, we quite want one of these for Christmas. But that's December. Toasty!
4. twenty one pilots's coat and woolly hat
Look, we know he wears the hat all the time but Josh was only wearing a vest top, surely a coat was a bit warm? Fair play if that's your style, Tyler.
5. Skindred's wool jacket, three piece suit and glitter cravat
But he IS the fashion police, so we're not going to question it.
