What to wear to We Love Green: Paris sits at 24°C (75°F) by day and 14°C (57°F) at night in June, on forest, with a moderate chance of rain. That means a light base with one warm layer you can carry, broken-in boots or sturdy trainers, and a bag small enough for the gate rules. The crowd leans indie, techno and elegant, so black and functional reads as insider.

More about We Love Green: the festival, the crowd and the conditions

We Love Green takes place in Paris, Île-de-France, France, usually in June, French summer. It is a 40,000-capacity festival, running 2 days across forest with no camping on site.

Paris style rules apply: the crowd is chic rather than costumed, in a Bois de Vincennes that gets muddy the moment it rains.

Days sit around 24°C (75°F) and nights fall to 14°C (57°F), a 10-degree swing that most first-timers underestimate. Rain is a realistic possibility on at least one day.

Below: the 10 outfits that work best at We Love Green, what the crowd actually wears, and the practical rules, bag size, footwear, night layers. That decide whether the outfit survives the weekend.

The dress code, decoded

The dominant aesthetics at We Love Green are indie, techno black, quiet elegance and streetwear. That is the visual language of the site, the stages, the merch, the crowd photos, and outfits that speak it look intentional rather than borrowed.

This is a function-first crowd. Black, utility and good shoes read as insider; heavy glitter and fancy dress read as tourist. Nobody is stopping you, but you will feel it.

What people actually wear: one good layer over a light base, because the temperature halves after sunset.

What shoes to wear

Best option here: Broken-in boots or sturdy trainers.

Avoid: brand-new shoes, heels, and anything you have not walked 10 kilometres in.

You will walk between 15.000 and 30.000 steps a day at a festival of this size. Footwear is the only part of a festival outfit that can genuinely end your weekend, so it is the one place to spend money and break things in beforehand.

After dark

Once the sun goes down it drops to 14°C (57°F). The standard solution is a layer that lives in your bag all day: an oversized shirt, a light puffer or a fleece. If you are travelling back into town, factor in standing at a shuttle stop or station in that temperature for half an hour.

Rules that catch people out

  • Bag size. Most festivals of this size cap bags at roughly A4 or require a clear bag at the main stages. A belt bag plus a small crossbody clears almost every policy. Check the official rules before you buy anything bigger.
  • Chains and studs. Long chains, spikes and metal-heavy accessories are refused at some gates. If a piece is central to the look, have a backup.
  • Glitter. Biodegradable only at a growing number of festivals; plastic glitter is banned outright at several. It is also, practically, the hardest thing to remove from a tent.
  • No camping. You are travelling in and out each day, so the outfit has to survive public transport at both ends, and a cloakroom is not guaranteed.

What not to wear to We Love Green

  • Heels of any kind. Grass, gravel and crowd crush. Platform boots give the height with a surface area that works.
  • Your good bag. Beer, mud, being sat on. Take the one you would not mind losing, with a zip.

Packing checklist

  • Two tops per day (one gets ruined)
  • One layer for the night
  • Earplugs
  • Refillable water bottle
  • Portable charger
  • Sun cream or SPF stick
  • Baby wipes
  • A bag with a zip

Frequently asked questions

Start with the weather: 24°C (75°F) by day, 14°C (57°F) at night, moderate rain risk, on forest. That points to a light base with one warm layer you can carry, plus broken-in trainers or boots. Style-wise the crowd leans indie, techno black and quiet elegance.

Typical night lows are around 14°C (57°F), a drop of 10 degrees from the daytime high. Most people manage with one light layer.

Broken-in boots or sturdy trainers. Expect 15.000–30.000 steps a day.

No formal dress code. In practice the crowd wears black and dresses for function, and standing out is a choice you make deliberately.

Festivals this size usually limit bags to around A4 size, and some require clear bags at main stages. A belt bag plus a small zipped crossbody clears almost every policy. Always check the official rules for the current edition. They change year to year.

The reliable formula here is a tee, a light overshirt and broken-in trainers, with a beanie and a small crossbody bag. See the full list of men's outfits below.

Yes, but bring biodegradable glitter. Plastic glitter is banned at a growing number of festivals and is close to impossible to get out of a tent, a car or your hair. Face gems are the lower-effort alternative and survive sweat better.

We Love Green normally takes place in June, running 2 days in Paris. Exact dates are announced by the organisers each year at www.welovegreen.fr. Check there before booking anything.
