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. 

  • Belva Silk Dress

    Reformation

    The Details

    Editor’s Note

    Reformation is fast becoming our go-to for statement dresses that are easy to wear yet pack a sartorial punch.

    Sweet but a little bit sexy with lace inserts and cut outs. Perfect for date night. 

    We’ll team ours with cowboy boots and big earrings to keep the festival vibes going. 

The Bubble Hem

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.”

  • Rita City Skirt

    Free People

    The Details

    Editor’s Note

    A low waist with bow detailing, this crisp poplin skirt is an easy breezy go-to this Summer. 

    We’ll be pairing ours with a crop top and sandals and hitting the beach (or Tesco…)

  • Yasmin Bubble Hem Mini Skirt Black

    LA Space

    The Details

    • Composition: 85% Tencel, 15% Linen

    Editor’s Note

    The extra wide shirred waistband makes this sweet skirt extra flattering. 

    Pair with a bikini top on holiday, or a cropped blazer for a night out. 

  • Alexa Baby Pink Puffball Dress

    Amy Lynn

    The Details

    • Composition: 90% Polyester 10% Elastane, Skirt: 100% Cotton

The 3D Florals

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

    The Details

    • Composition: 100% Polyester

    Editor’s Note

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

    We don’t care what anyone says, we will be wearing this to the office and nobody can stop us. 

  • Maxi-flower flared jumpsuit

    Mango

    The Details

    • Composition: 97% Viscose. 3% Elastane

    Editor’s Note

    This is elegance with a little drop of bombastic energy added. With wide straps and a square neckline for a flattering fit.

    Perfect for a party or event, or popping Glastonbury reruns on the telly and reminiscing. 

  • Peonia Scrunchie

    Samanta Virginio

    The Details

    • Composition: Overstock Italian Fabric

    Editor’s Note

    Your accessories drawer wants in on the action too, and this sweet scrunchie is a perfect outfit enhancer. 

    Made in London, by hand, using overstock Italian recycled, fast drying, fabric.

The Moto Jacket

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 Unisex Fitted Motor Jacket in Off White With Logo Badges and Embroidery

    Reclaimed Vintage

    The Details

    • Composition: 100% Polyester

    Editor’s Note

    This unisex jacket guarantees a slouchy, relaxed fit. Pair with low-rise jeans. 

    What are the defining features of a moto jacket? Why, the glorious snap collar of course. 

  • Faux Leather Quilted Moto Jacket

    Marks & Spencer

    The Details

    • Composition: 100% Polyurethane

    We love the clean lines of this slick jacket with quilted detailing on the shoulders and cuffs. 

    A proper wardrobe staple with exposed zips and snap popper collar. 

  • Dustin Moto Jacket

    Lamarque

    The Details

    • Composition: 100% Leather

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

    If you’re in need of sunglasses that are a little special, Poppy Lissiman should be on your shopping list.  

    These diamante embellished cat-eyes are made from high quality black acetate with matching black CAT3 UV protected lens.

  • 2 in 1 Clip-On Sunglasses

    Swarovski

    The Details

    • Composition: Crystals, Metal

    Editor’s Note

    You get more bang for your buck, with these 2-in-1 sunglasses, simply click on the crystallised frames when you’re feeling a bit fancy. 

    We love the idea of teaming these sparkling sunnies with a slick, pared back outfit. 

  • LV Wire Pearls Sunglasses

    Louis Vuitton

    The Details

    • Composition: Gold, Metal, Glass Pearls

    Editor’s Note

    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.
