There’s no pairing quite like music and fashion, and is there a better runway than the mud soaked fields of Glastonbury? 

This year we were treated to the sartorial delights of Sienna Miller in Scandi-chic, Dua Lipa in 2004-coded Versace, and the one and only Shania Twain in show stopping florals.

Glastonbury staples like Hunter wellies and Barbour jackets were seen on many an attendee, alongside lashings of leopard print and 00s favourite, the chain belt. But these are the 5 standout Glastonbury inspired trends we spied at this year’s festival that we’ll be sporting all summer long…

The New Slip Dress

Where Alexa goes, we follow, and we adore this iteration of a slip dress that leans away from slinky, paired with a trusty Barbour. Put it this way, your Grandma would wholeheartedly approve.

The unexpected return of the bubble hem or puffball skirt just got the Glastonbury seal of approval thanks to Olivia Dean in a custom Chopeva Lowena look. Emblazoned on her top was a picture of her Grandmother, and she dedicated her song Carmen to, “my granny, to the Windrush generation, for any immigrant, anyone’s who’s brave enough to move.”

Now this is how to do festival-wear  with aplomb. We adore the capes worn by Shania Twain and Janelle Monae, but accept that they might be considered slightly impractical for the 9-5, so we’ll be slipping a top or accessory into our wardrobe rotation instead,

  • Maxi Organza Flower Crop Top

    Zara

    • Composition: 100% Polyester

    Editor’s Note

    Balance proportions by teaming with something minimal on your bottom half.

If you wanted proof that the moto jacket isn’t going anywhere, look no further than Little Simz performing on day four of the Somerset festival. We love the juxtaposition of pairing it with a slightly staid length midi skirt.

    Reclaimed Vintage

    The Details

Listen up kids, sun protection is important but that’s no reason why it shouldn’t add a little flair to your outfits too. Anne Marie opted for futuristic silver, while Stormzy was spotted in a classic heart shaped pair. 

  • Kenli – Black Luxe

    Poppy Lissiman

    The Details

    Editor’s Note

  • LV Wire Pearls Sunglasses

    Louis Vuitton

    Thin gold frames are topped with pearls on these outrageously fantastic sunglasses. Just try not to leave them in your back pocket and sit on them…

    Adding a futuristic touch to all outfits, this teardrop shape is simultaneously elegant and bombastic. 

How we chose:

Aesthetic: Letting the Glastonbury set guide me,  I picked the coolest, Summeriest offerings I could find. 

Price: I’ve selected items from a wide range of price points to try and suit most budgets, without compromising on quality. 

Why you should trust me?

Working in fashion is simultaneously the best and worst thing that’s ever happened to me because spending all day surrounded by gorgeous pieces and trends lit a fire under my (already substantial) shopping habit. I love to shop. I live to shop, and summer ensembles are my jam. In a previous life, I worked in Personal Shopping, and I’m the person to take out with you if you want to be wholeheartedly talked into a purchase.
