Festival Fever

Whether you were lucky enough to grace Coachella’s manicured lawns, or you’re staying closer to home, festival season is officially here. Older and wiser (?), step away from the flower crowns and embrace a definite festival style- without losing your own.

Channel Alexa Chung and combine iridescent metallics with your grubby Hunters. The Sister Jane Reflections Dress (£68) is the perfect length to sit above your British festival staples and will give you the confidence to be center stage. For all out sunshine shimmer, team with the From St Xavier Magna clutch (£70).

Build up layers a la Chloe Sevigny. Team the Somedays Lovin cotton midi playsuit (£70) with the Amuse Society Good Vibes tee (£30) for laid back campfire chic. The Blu Studios silver Backpack (£160) will accommodate all of your day festival essentials and add the pièce de résistance to your look.

Denim shorts are the epitome of festival style. The Vero Moda light blue denim 5 shorts (£18) are a staple that will take you through the summer. Pair with the Somedays Lovin Moody Embroidered blouse (£58) the Bell & Fox Canteen bag (£175) and the Hudson Emmett Boot (£155) for ultimate boho chic.

Crochet conjures up hippy Woodstock vibes and festival season is the perfect time to embrace the open weave. The Somedays Lovin Tilda Crochet crop top (£38) will make another great accompaniment to the VM shorts. Toughen up the look with a leather biker or the Fab. By Fabienne May leather bag (£149).  The Hudson Anneke suede moccasin boots are to die for and work with all summer dresses as well as your fave denim (£100).

Think about each outfit beyond the fields and music and go for key transitional pieces that will work equally as well in the comfort of a cozy bar… Style the Amuse Society coated dungarees (£68) a la Sarah with the MINKPINK cold shoulder tee (£28) and Wild West Biker Jacket (£108). 

Festival accessories are just as important as the outfit themselves. BSG has got the bag side of things nailed with the dreamy mandarin red Violetta (£59) and the T-Crown (£109) tassel beauty in hot chocolate. We have a stunning selection of Crafted Jewels pieces in store and a flamboyant feather Orelia necklace (£28).

To defy all possible weather situations don’t forget your Vero Moda sunnies (£14), your Rains jacket  (£75 for zipped breaker and short jacket, £89 for long jacket and £95 for the mac) and tote bag (£35).

Whether your festival vibe is California or Somerset, go for outfits that you are going to feel comfortable enough to dance in from dusk till dawn. Whatever you wear, embrace the sunshine, rain, music and good times! Now, how do you put up a tent?!
