THE STAKES HAVE never been higher when it comes to festival fashion.
Gone are they days where denim hot pants and a flower crown a la Kate Moss would suffice. No – this year it’s all about mesh, cycling shorts and as much glitter as you can flake on to yourself.
However, there’s a argument been made both online and off that, while women tend to pull out all the stops with their festival garms, men put in decidedly less effort. (Sure, throw on a Hawaiian shirt and you’re good to go, Jack).
But, is it a myth? Are lads actually spending hours slaving away on their #looks and receiving no praise for it whatsoever? DailyEdge.ie decided to conduct some investgative journalism at Longitude to find out.

The girls said they started getting ready at half 6, and given that gates open at 1pm and the first act starts at 2pm, that roughly equates to almost eight hours of prep work.
Luke, on the other hand, took ten minutes to get ready.
