This year there are some clear winners in festival fashion stakes from the stunning Ray Ban rip offs to gorgeous Stella McCartney circa 2007 headwear. So what’s hot this year because it certainly isn’t the weather!
The Muso must-have
Sunglasses are a must for any festival goer. Not only can they make an outfit instantly chic but they can hide a multitude of sins. Sins of which you will not want people to see, especially when you have to prepare your beautiful self in a miniscule tent with a hand mirror and dry shampoo. This year many different styles can be found in the mosh pit and hanging around Shangri La. The Ray Ban lookalikes seem to have made a big impression on young fashion tribes in particular the neon brights that the nu-rave revolution brought back. These are the perfect accessory for a fashionista as they instantly update your wardrobe and may even help you sneak back stage. Check out asos.com for some great cheaper alternatives to the Ray Ban with prices from £4.
Wild girls on tour
Festival hair is the one thing girls dread once those tickets come through in the post. How could anyone have great hair at the end of a week with no hot water, straighteners and luscious hair products? The answer is to go natural. Leave your hair go wild a la Amy Winehouse minus the Marge Simpson beehive. Wild hair was everywhere to be seen in Glastonbury 08, who needs backcombing when you have to sleep in a static sleeping bag. Hairspray can be a great product for this look, try L’Oreal Elnett available at any great supermarket for an affordable price. If you want to add some glam and grunge to your outfit add a headband for extra groupie status.
Triby or not to be?
If untamed tresses aren’t your thing then you can rely on the much-loved trilby for bad hair days. The Trilby or Fedora as it’s known in the US has been a big fan with celebrities with everyone from Sienna Miller one in Ibiza to Alexa Chung this year in Glastonbury donning one. This is an ideal hideaway from the prying wasted eyes at a festival and works great as a fan when you’re dancing away!
Don’t dapen your mood
While wellies can be a fundamental element to a festival goer the weather has been fairly good to us this so far this year with Glasto being almost mud and welly free. Ideal footwear includes the beloved cowboy boots which will stick with you through thick and thin (check out the bandit boots from a previous post) however, the daps aka the passé trainers you had to wear for P.E in school have made a massive comeback for the right reasons. These daps can be so comfortable and more than affordable with Primark selling simple yet chic white ones for an amazing £2! Get your pair today you and you will be wearing them all summer.
So that’s it for another festival fashion year. Good luck with your festival and let’s hope the weather and your fashion choices are good to you!
