The Old School Man's Kit for Carnival

Leave the fancy dress to the amateurs. Put together your kit with pieces that guarantee comfort, durability, and zero worries during the festivities. 

The call of revelry is knocking at the door. For many, it means glitter, tight-fitting t-shirts, and hardship. But for the "Old School Man," it's different. If we decide to face the crowd, we'll be prepared. Not like a lost tourist, but like a veteran who knows the territory.

The secret isn't in the trend, but in the strategy. It's about having the right equipment to enjoy the mission without becoming a victim of it. Leave the fussiness aside. This is the straight talk about your battle kit for Carnival.

The foundation: start from the feet

The Carnival ground is a minefield of puddles, broken glass, and unwanted trampling. Your footwear is the foundation of your resistance.

The right choice: A good pair of sneakers, preferably an older pair that you don't mind getting dirty, but that are durable and comfortable. Lightweight ankle boots are also a respectable option, protecting your ankles.

The trap: Leather flip-flops or sandals. It's practically asking to go home with a missing toe or, at the very least, filthy feet. Leave them for the beach sand, that's where they belong.

The battle uniform: durability and simplicitye

You don't need a "cute outfit." You need a uniform that can take a beating. The rule is clear: less is more.

Bottoms: High-quality twill or nylon shorts. Avoid thin fabrics that tear the first time you sit down on the curb. The important thing is to have functional and secure pockets.

Top: A basic, good quality cotton t-shirt. Neutral colors like black, gray, or navy blue are foolproof and better at hiding the "dust" from the battle. Team jersey? Only if you're at the stadium.

The line of defense: The sun is unforgiving

A smart man doesn't underestimate the elements. Turning as red as a pepper on the first day isn't a sign of strength, it's stupidity.

Headwear: A classic cap. It protects you from the sun, helps keep sweat out of your eyes, and commands respect.

Clear vision: A good pair of sunglasses. Besides protecting your vision, they give you a strategic advantage in reading your surroundings without being noticed.

Skin protection: Yes, sunscreen. It's not vanity, it's maintenance. Applying it to your face, neck, and arms prevents you from being defeated by the sun before the party is even over.
