Festival season is officially here! As I get ready to hit Belsonic I have picked my festival must-haves. From vivid prints with metallic trainers, straw bags with maxi-dresses and accessories to die for (think mirrored sunglasses, body art, tassel earings and floppy fedoras!) I have it covered…
ANORAKS
A cool lightweight anorak is an absolute must-have – here is my pick of the best…
Bring metallic designs into your everyday wardrobe this season with this anorak. Finish the look with a bodysuit and denim shorts.
With slogans taking over the fashion world, this distressed oversized denim jacket is a must have! Turn your casual vibes up a notch with this statement piece or wear in the evening with a slip dress and diamante choker, love!
This suede jacket with the tassel detail and soft pink colour is definitely on my festival wish list!
Score a wardrobe win this need-right-now metallic jacket! Wear with your favourite outfit to finish off your look.
Stand out in this colourful, embellished denim jacket that will add the edge to any outfit.
With the unpredictable GB weather you’ll be hoping rain does fall with this gorgeous gold rain jacket.
SHOES/BOOTS
You’ll be doing a whole lotta walking and those masses can leave the ground pretty muddy. One of my ultimate festival rules is good footwear (that still looks great obvs)
You can dance all night long in these cool, yet comfortable silver glitter trainers.
We love the RIRI Puma x Fenty collaboration – slip into this comfy pink bow slippers when the sun comes out.
Because you never know what the NI weather will decide to do- be functional and fashionable in these glitter lace-up wellies.
Hunter wellies are THE must-have festival item. If one thing to be sure of at a festival its to expect a sea of Hunter wellies. Comfy, practical and fashionable – what’s not to love?
JUMPSUITS
I love this long jumpsuit with the halter-style neck and gorgeous leaf print, wear with trainers during the day and add a pair of wedges to take your look into the evening.
PLAYSUITS
Cute, chic and requiring little effort – playsuits are great for festival styling…
This playsuit is bang on trend with the paisley print, kimono style and plunging neckline. Add a choker and some necklaces to complete your look.
SHORTS/TROUSERS
High-waisted, denim, printed, short, long – shorts are IN and with so many styles to choose from we have picked our faves…
How cute are these high-waisted shorts with the frill bottom?! And check out that print – these will definitely have you ticking all the style boxes.
We can’t get enough of these fancy cropped trousers with a fun frill finish. Team with a crop top for some laid-back festival attitude!
PrettyLittleThing Neon Tassel Romper£35.00
This neon tassle dress just screams festival! Stand out from the crowd in this gorgeous piexe from Pretty Little Thing @ Asos.
Keep it cool & casual with this t-shirt style dress covered in graffiti.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, more importantly, when life offers you a lemon dress, make sure you bag it. This lemon print maxi dress is perfect for easy breezy festival evenings. The low V neck is flattering for a larger bust too, whilst the splits ensure you have some movement. Throw on some sandals (or trainers in our case) and the only accessory you’ll need is a cocktail
