My friend forgot to bring a pair of sunglasses with her one year during South by Southwest, and the first thing we had to do was stop by an Urban Outfitters so she could buy a pair. A cute pair of shades is pretty much essential. But don’t bring the Ray-Bans you blew an entire paycheck on last season. At a music festival, you’ve got to be prepared to break or lose ’em. So just bring a cheap but colorful pair. These also can double as your designated “beach shades” during the summer.
