I Just Got Back From Glastonbury – Here Are The 8 Trends Everyone Was Wearing

Must read

In the lead up to my first trip to Glastonbury, I ended up at the receiving end of a tidal wave of, sometimes conflicting, advice: “Whatever you do, don’t bring your best clothes”; “Whatever you do, go all out with your outfits”; “Five-star glamping is the only way to survive a festival”; “To be honest, I would just plonk a one-man by Shangri-La and live off Red Bull and Pom-Bears”.

And indeed, when I arrived, it was clear that there was no one way to Glastonbury (yes, it is a verb), from your drink consumption and approach to personal hygiene to the density of your event schedule and the boujiness of your sleeping set-up. But, of course, for me it was festival attendees’ fashion choices that brought the most fascination. As expected, anything goes: you had twenty-somethings in slinky party dresses alongside sexagenarians in printed bodysuits, and gorpcore anoraks rubbing shoulders with light-up disco capes.

But, despite the sheer diversity of style, by day three I started to notice a handful of trends start to emerge. Unsurprisingly, many of them were pieces you’d expect to see on the streets of London: think rah-rah skirts, Adidas shorts, football jerseys and Salomon trainers. But there were a few unexpected hero pieces, such as chunky biker boots (yep, they’re back), asymmetric lace skirts and wraparound Noughties sunglasses. Sportswear and boho nostalgia – evidently, the key themes of summer 2024.
