The VICE Guide to the Best Music Festival Outfits

If you're wondering what to wear to your next music festival, congratulations: You are already doing a better job than we did in 2009, when we went to our first Coachella with no refillable water bottle and fishnet shorts that left Popeye's grill marks on our thighs. Luckily, we've grown up a lot since then (but not that much). We're still stupid in the ways that matter, like figuring out how to sneak your contraband into a music festival, or how to find the beat on a Björk song (don't worry; there isn't one). Now that we're in the sunset years (thirties) of festival questing, it's time to impart what we've learned from the time we've spent in battle (the bathroom line at Bonnaroo) in our finest armor (a romper that gave us swamp ass) so that you don't make the same mistakes when deciding what to wear to a festival or rave.

I Tried Cuzen's Bougie Home Matcha Machine (and Now I'm Pleasantly Amped)

For tea drinkers and those seeking to mix up their morning routines, the Cuzen Matcha Maker is a pretty nice thing to have, especially if you love matcha and don't want to risk a wrist sprain making your own every day. Naturally it's sort of a luxury experience, but, frankly, so is hand-brewing your own single-origin matcha at home every day. Yes, the device looks like a Goop x Apple collab directed by Christopher Nolan, but that's exactly why the machine is the kind of thing you'll be proud to have on your counter next time you have tea-enjoying houseguests.
