PICK YOUR FESTIVAL PLAYER
FESTIVAL EDIT:
The sun is shining, the acts are hotter than ever, and the fits are working hard. That’s right, festival season is back, and it’s time to get excited. From the return of Glastonbury, ft. Dua Lipa, SZA and Little Simz amongst others, to Wireless with Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat, this festival season is set to be something special. From waterproofs c/o Stone Island to bucket hats via adidas x Wales Bonner, this is how to style out festival season.
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER YOU WANT
Whoever let the weather get in the way of a good look? Not us. This festival season we’ll be dressing for the climes we want. Think fresh swim shorts c/o Represent, sliders that can be slipped on and off (essential for ducking in and out of tents) and – of course – a pair of sunglasses that’ll mask less than optimal sleep come the final day of the festival.
WATCHING THE GAME, NOT THE ACTS
Football mania is spreading, and with some big games scheduled to happen during Glastonbury, we’re predicting there’ll be a fair few sports luxe looks on the go. Aries have teamed up with Umbro to deliver a special collection to celebrate 100 years of the sporting giant. An ode to the “English Rose” the collab features football-inspired shirts, shorts and fan-favourite scarves and hats. On your feet? A pair of chunky Asics.
COME RAIN OR SHINE
A good festival goer is one that’s ready for all eventualities. Blazing sun? We’ve packed our SPF (in a handy mist format thanks to Shiseido). The inevitable British summertime showers? We have our protective waterproof c/o Stone Island. The finishing touches? Comfy cargo trousers and On Running’s Cloudspark trainers that’ll make getting in those steps as pain-free as possible.
HERE FOR THE LOOKS
Don’t want to let the whole ‘festival’ thing get in the way of your look? We get it. Vivienne Westwood has delivered a Canadian tuxedo that’s up to the task. Wear open, pants on display, and pair with a pair of the brand’s Plimsoll Graffiti High-Top Sneakers. To keep all your important possessions close? A distressed leather cross-body bag. Now, just pray for the weather – no one likes soggy denim.
FESTIVAL ESSENTIALS
Looking to invest in a few festival essentials? You’ve come to the right place. Top of your list? A practical backpack that’s big enough to fit in your daily supplies but small enough not to weigh you down. Acne Studios have just the one. For the pro festival goer, you’ll want to take a closer look at The North Face’s Base Camp Fear Box. A clever piece of equipment, it features a zip-around top – ideal for when you’re trying to find your belongings – and folds down flat, meaning it can be kept out of the way when space is tight. Polarbox have created a musical-inspired Retro Coolbox to keep your drinks chilled.
Exposing your skin to the elements all day long means it’ll need a helping hand to keep it in top shape. Invest in a sink-less cleanser that means you’ll be able to wash off the festival dust and mud even when you’ve collapsed in your tent. Dr Weil’s Micellar Cleanser removes dirt and pollutants while supporting and soothing the skin. Once you’re all clean, it’s time for a rich moisturiser to replenish. Dermalogica’s Super Rich Repair packs in powerful peptides, shea butter and oil of evening primrose to support skin tone, hydrate and help defend.
