Festival season is coming up and as much as I would like to go to all of them, sadly I can't. That hasn't stopped me from thinking about the outfits I'd love to wear to each of them. I love festival dressing, especially the way that each festival differs in style. I think I've got a pretty straightforward sense of style, I tend to lean towards the grungy masculine look but I like getting all dolled up from time to time. Festival-wise, I would wear things that I wouldn't normal wear in my day to day life, I think it's a bit of a 'when in Rome' situation. So here are my festival wardrobe picks for five of the biggest festivals coming this Summer.
Download festival
Download festival
First off, we have Download Festival. My personal favourite festival I'm gutted to be missing this year. Being a metal festival I think it's got a reputation for just being dirty and the image people envisage is a bunch of big bearded men in band shirts strutting around a field, and while they would be totally wrong, there's more to it then that. Personally I like the idea of sticking to my own personal style at this festival, mixing the masculine rocky vibe with some cute feminine pieces. Whether it's this Mickey Mouse silhouette crop top, or just a bright pretty nail colour, it all looks great when juxtaposed with ripped jeans and super messy hair pulled together with a bandana.
Glastonbury festival
Ah Glastonbury. If there's one place I'm going to rock florals and fringing (rare features of my wardrobe) together then it's here. I'd really pull out all the girly stops for Glastonbury, even foregoing tights and just popping on a bit of fake tan (a necessity for my bare paler than the moon legs, the campsite would be blinded without it).
V festival
V is fun, it's mainstream, it's sexy, it's young. Short denim cutoffs are a must! These and crop tops are part of my festival essentials as they're very small so you can bring more options but take up less space than jeans and tops. Just be sure to also bring something warm and a good waterproof.
Reading&Leeds festival
I generally view Reading&Leeds as the starter festival. It was my first festival when I was 16, Metallica headlined and I actually remember it clearer than some of the more recent festivals I've been to. The line up this year is insane and I would love to go but for rock and metal fans, when you discover Download and Sonisphere, you can't really imagine going back to Reading. Saying that, if I was given the opportunity to go this year I would jump to it. As Reading is young and edgy you can get away with going a bit crazy grunge, which I love.
Bestival
Bestival is crazy. Honestly crazy. I went for the first time last year and actually if I had to pick one festival to go to this year it would be Bestival again. It's really far out of my comfort zone music wise so I was really apprehensive about it, but it was one of the best festival experiences I've ever had. Style wise, anything goes. Clash that print and colour as much as you want, it's all good at Bestival.
