When it comes to festival fashion, no one does it quite like the UK. At England’s best summer music festivals, don’t expect to see flower crowns or Woodstock-inspired outfits. Instead, it’s all about Hunter boots, a cute waterproof jacket, and the shortest shorts you can possibly find. We searched through the best celebrity fashion moments from past Glastonbury festivals and found 18 classic music festival outfits that we bet you’ll copy at least once this summer.
Joining the trifecta of wellies, short shorts, and raincoats are a few pieces that are equally worthy of praise. Expect to see crochet looks, subtle fringe details, and a shearling jacket for overnight stays at premier music events. Kate Moss might have set the standard for the minidress and knee-high boots look at Glasto, but according to Dua Lipa and Ellie Goulding, a cropped top with a windbreaker tracksuit is a winning combo, too. Plus, if TikTok trends are anything to go by, we’re expecting shiny gem hair accessories and crossbody fabric bags to be part of the 2022 celebrity festival set.
As the long-awaited Glastonbury Festival takes place this week, keep reading for 18 classic music festival outfits to inspire your summer looks.
