I saw so many men, women, and children in sarongs (and sans sarongs) at a smaller festival last weekend. As with anything, I think some can pull it off...and others can't.

So what's the criteria for who can pass and who can't? I've actually considered it, but not sure I'm the right candidate. Most guys I've seen wearing them are in twenties and usually skinny. I'm early 40's and average build. I realize Bonnaroo is all about free-stylin' it and being open to all, but I really don't want to be that guy that folks say...'you know, he really shouldn't be wearin that'.
My friend wears dashikis at JazzFest every year...says they are extremely cool and comfortable. I'm sure you can find them for less than the prices on that site, too!

Yeah, he doesn't usually rock the pants and Cajun Reeboks, but it was a cool mudfest that day.

Roo is one of those places where anyone can wear anything they want and feel completely comfortable. If you are feeling the skirt, wear the skirt!
Unless it's a thong speedo. No one should wear that. Unless it's for pure comical value of course.

In my opinion, it's dependent on your confidence level. If you look uncomfortable or embarrassed or awkward in your clothes (sarongs or anything else for that matter) you probably shouldn't wear it. However, if you're totally feelin' it, you exude confidence and look good in just about anything!

Sorry to double-post, but I thought I'd share my Roo dream from last night.
I left the campsite and went wandering around to see what I could see. When I returned, my bf was sitting in a camping chair wearing nothing but a dark blue sarong tied like a diaper smoking a huge cigar.

I do hope this actually happens.
I DO love a good cigar. Maybe I'll be sitting next to him.
I went to lunch with folks in the office today and told them about the possibility of me wearing a sarong at the fest and was hugely ridiculed. It just goes along with their whole misunderstanding of Bonnaroo. It started to tick me off but I decided, F*** them! I'll wear a damn sarong and enjoy the hell out of Roo regardless of what they think. In fact, I think I'll do it now in defiance to them!
Come on now. I bet you get way more airflow in those. Plus your movement and accessibility is much greater. If loose fitting and breeze are the main selling points for skirts and sarongs then by all logic you guys should love those skirts.
I would think that guys would have the same issues girls have with short skirts tho - bending over, sitting down on theground and getting up is not easy without exposing alot more then you really want to.

Well since women think they are so sexy then that should be a plus right?
I'm not trying to "sell" you on the idea of sarongs, getfresh. Frankly, I don't care what you wear or what you like. I find them an attractive and comfortable alternative to pants or going nude, but they aren't for everyone. A sarong is in a whole other ball field from that disturbing prancy-man up there, however. ^^^

This I agree with - a man in a sarong or long skirt or actual kilt is sexy - those are Brittney skirts and they are NOT sexy on a man
come to think of it - not really all that sexy on a woman unless you just like to see what you're gonna get ahead of time.

I'm pretty sure no one could wear a wool sweater at Roo and feel completely comfortable
Anyway, I give props to any guy who's brave enough to rock a skirt or sarong. I think people should dress however they want on the farm, whether it's body paint, or a silly costume, or anything in between.

Peace to all! Even guys who where sarongs!
Yeah! You rock that sarong, hon! I camped next to a group of middle-aged corporate types (dressed business casual most of the time) last year, and they just looked damned uncomfortable. Anybody gives you crap at Roo, send 'em to me.

Dude I am completely joking about those goofy @ss skirts. Just goofing around, dont take it so seriously. I could care less if you walk around dong out.
