Whereas the Glastonbury line-up is without doubt one of the most talked about subjects within the lead as much as competition season, shut behind it’s what are folks carrying?
Whereas there are some returning developments yr after yr – Hunter wellies and denim shorts to call a number of – competition type has modified massively for the reason that pandemic, with many now embracing consolation and on a regular basis developments.
Superstar stylists share their development predictions for this competition season…
1. Boho stylish
Boho has been again for some time, and whereas it could be really fizzling out on the excessive avenue, this yr’s festivals are the proper locations to sport it.
“I really like how boho has had an enormous revival and in good timing for competition season,” says movie star stylist Ellis Ranson. “Assume the Chloé runway meets mud and fields. Crochet clothes, fringing, earthy tones – Vanessa Hudgens is your go-to for inspo.”
Bohemian type has drifted out and in of the style highlight since its heyday within the free-spirited Seventies – nevertheless it really caught hearth once more within the early 2000s, when icons like Sienna Miller and the Olsen twins made it their signature, teaming floaty blouses with outsized belts and studded boots.

The development has by no means been extra becoming for festivals – simply have a look at Kate Moss and Sienna Miller’s Noughties Glastonbury seems to be. From floaty co-ords to stitched equipment, the boho type is straightforward and easy — and stylist Sian Clarke, in partnership with Michael Kors, confirms that it’s right here to remain, noting an 83% spike in search curiosity.
2. Nineties jorts
Whereas boho stylish could also be evoking the 2000s, the rise of dishevelled jorts – or jean shorts – is throwing competition trend again to the Nineties.
“We’re seeing an increase within the new summer season staple, the jort,” says Ranson, “sure, the longline brief, which is definitely a terrific type for each physique sort, in order that’s a win for any stylist.”
Whether or not DIY’d from an outdated pair of Levi’s or sourced from a beloved classic store, jorts are anticipated to turn out to be a competition staple, teamed with a tank and trainers for a cool but comfortable look.
3. Utility core
One other development providing a extra laid-back look compared to boho stylish is utility core.
“Consolation is essential for shoppers; they aren’t right here to be in ache for trend with regards to competition enjoyable,” says Ranson. “Outsized cargo pants, waistcoats, Timberlands, and desert neutrals [are all the rage].”
Utility core is sort of a mixture of Lara Croft and Euphoria, taking useful silhouettes and pairing them with suede or metallic finishes and face gems.
Customers are embracing a impartial base paired with layered gems and jewelry as an easy competition look – good for individuals who need type with out the effort, particularly by day three of the festivities.
4. Disco cowboy
Whereas cowboy boots have been in final summer season, this season the ‘disco cowboy’ is making waves with metallic fringe and studded Western boots.
“Cowboy boots make all the things look cool,” says Ranson, “Even in case you are carrying a vest and denim shorts they’ll fully elevate your look.”
And if individuals are dealing with unpredictable climate – which is probably going throughout a UK competition – they’re a terrific decide. “Cowboy boot wellies have emerged from the western development,” says Clarke. “These hybrid heroes provide the better of each worlds: sensible for being weatherproof wellingtons and in development.”
Metallics are the cherry on prime. With searches for ‘metallic and fringe jackets’ up by 69%, they’re clearly the after-dark must-have.
5. Timeless classic
This yr greater than ever, competition goers are leaning into classic gems.
“A principal shift I’d say is it being extra about classic finds,” says Ranson. “A classic band tee is a simple protected possibility, teamed with a floaty skirt, fringed denim, or a costume excessive.
“It could actually work by way of any development, yr after yr.”
Layered jewelry and a stable pair of retro trainers – a nod to the F1 development – may give any outfit the sting it wants.
Clarke says micro shorts are a key base for classic seems to be: “As cow and snake are the prints of the summer season season, pair micro shorts with standout items like a cow-print crop prime or snake-print jacket.”
