FESTIVAL OUTFITS

Western Style

Western-inspired looks have always had a firm place in festival fashion and it’s easy to see why. Think tasselled waistcoats, suede jackets and, of course, cowboy boots! These staples not only look fantastic but can elevate even the simplest of outfits. Embrace the Western vibe with a cute waistcoat teamed with your trusty denim pieces for an effortlessly cool look.

Feminine Dresses

Dresses are a brilliant option to throw on at a festival. The contrast of a girly mini or midi dress paired with biker boots (or walking boots if you’re after comfort) creates the ultimate cool-girl festival outfit! Add a denim or leather jacket on top and you’ve nailed a classic festival look that’s perfect for hot days and cooler evenings.

Trusty Denim

It’s time to dig out your trusty denim from the wardrobe as there’s no better occasion for it! From distressed denim shorts to your favourite denim skirt, these pieces are festival classics. They’re incredibly versatile, can be styled up or down, and offer ultimate comfort all day long.

Boho Styles

Bohemian festival fashion is an all-time staple. Think boho blouses teamed with denim shorts, floaty dresses, paisley prints, and crochet pieces. Boho style has a timeless, carefree charm that perfectly matches the free-spirited vibe of most festivals.

For those who are camping…

Don’t forget to pack something comfy you can lounge around in at the campsite. Think casual loungewear sets that are a step up from your pyjamas but still cosy enough for getting ready, morning loo runs, and prepping for the big day ahead!

If you’re camping in a tent, be prepared for chilly nights. Cosy pyjamas or a comfy jogger set, paired with thick socks, are absolute essentials to help you stay warm through the night.

If you’re planning to brave the campsite showers, we recommend packing a pair of flip-flops or sliders. Perfect for keeping your feet off the (often questionable) ground!

Investing in quality camping gear and essentials will help you get the best night's sleep when at a festival. A blow-up mattress, sleeping bag or high-tog duvet, earplugs and tent are non-negotiable.

Comfy Co-Ords

You can’t go wrong with a trusty co-ord - it’s a ready-made outfit all on its own and is a festival staple this year. From short and shirt sets to double denim moments. They’re easy to pack in your festival bag and look amazing too!

Graphic Tees

The graphic tee is a festival staple! Whether you opt for a band tee for the headliner or want a cute graphic to elevate the basic t-shirt and shorts combo, they’re the perfect option for comfortable festival style.

Top Tips & Tricks

Sorry, we know playsuits and jumpsuits look amazing but we don’t recommend them for a festival! Why? One word: toilets. Between cramped portaloos and, let’s face it, grim “long drops,” there’s nothing worse than having to fully strip down just to nip to the loo.

Go for a comfy, hands-free bag like a crossbody or bum bag. If you’re heading to Glastonbury or another festival where you can bring in your food and drinks, a small backpack also works a treat. Just make sure whatever bag you choose has a secure fastening to avoid losing your essentials.

Hats and sunglasses aren’t just cute - they’re practical too, helping to protect you from the sun when you’re out in an open field all day. Plus, hats and hair accessories are a lifesaver for hiding less-than-fresh hair after a few days of festival living!

Even if sandals look fab with your outfit, we wouldn’t recommend them. The crowds near the stages are prime toe-stomping zones! Keep those toes protected with closed-toe shoes.
