7 Styles You Can Wear To Summer Festivals

Festival season is approaching, which means you’re probably wondering what to wear on the weekends when you could face all four seasons in one day. The key to festival dressing is ensuring you’ve packed the right pieces; ones that are versatile enough to work for day and night, yet still keep your luggage light.

 

For effortless pieces to see you through the likes of All Points East, We Out Here and Field Day, to the culture and literary festivals in your diary – look no further. We’ve rounded up the wardrobe staples you’ll need this summer.

The printed co-ord

 

If you’re heading to a festival abroad or expecting sunshine, focus on lightweight fabrics and skin-baring designs like our marble co-ord to keep you cool. This is also the easiest way to pull together a high-impact look that requires minimal effort. Keep accessories and the rest of your look pared-back and just add a simple cross-body bag and some white trainers.

The denim shorts

 

Chic and universally flattering, retro-inspired denim shorts will be the building blocks of your festival wardrobe. This pair rest high on the waist in a close fit and are perfect for when temperatures start to rise. Style with our asymmetric ribbed cami or a simple T-shirt and throw on our patchwork denim jacket for an added touch of cool.

The free-spirited top

 

Hot on the heels of bardot tops and off-the-shoulder styles, a crochet singlet is set to become your latest wardrobe must-have. Part of the allure of this trend is it’s nostalgic, boho spirit. Wear this insouciant top with denim shorts, trainers and a pair of round sunglasses this summer.

The utility look

 

With a nod to the ’90s, our latest utility co-ord come in a relaxed style and playful soft pink hue. Take a more-is-more approach by wearing yours with a riotous printed top, or try styling the trousers with a tie dye sweatshirt when temperatures drop. As versatile as they are durable, you’ll keep these styles on heavy rotation even after the festival season ends.

The crossbody bag

 

Every now and then, a bag comes along that boasts both the immediate appeal that makes it a signature piece, plus a simplicity that ensures it’ll stand the test of time. Our Bibi bag ticks every box. In a range of refreshingly modern prints and shades, these crossbody bags aren’t just ultra-covetable, they will also work with every look in your wardrobe. Wear yours at festivals with everything from shorts and tees to printed summer dresses.

The easy jumpsuit

 

If your festival style is defined by contemporary and comfortable staples, this jumpsuit will definitely satisfy you no end. It’s elegant, simple and comes in a flattering silhouette that can go from off-duty to high-octane with a simple accessory switch up. Wear with sandals and braided hair for a nonchalant feel at festivals abroad or add a pair of combat boots for a tougher edge.

 

 

“If your festival style is defined by bohemian, floaty dresses, this piece will definitely satisfy you no end.”

The essential waterproof

If you’re headed to a festival in the UK, you might be bracing yourself for more adverse weather conditions. With appropriate attire, however, a little drizzle won’t rain on your parade, and it’s worth investing in a reliable shower-proof jacket that doesn’t compromise on style. Danish brand Rains is famed for its simplistic take on classic rainwear. Combining fashionable cuts with intelligent textiles, their jackets are practical, timeless and a must-have to pack in your bag.
