For those of you who went to Glastonbury this weekend, we know you’re smug (just as much as you know we‘re jealous.) For those of you who (like me) enjoyed GlastonTelly this weekend, take this moment to congratulate yourself - you have mud-free Hunters and you don’t need 1billion hours sleep x 100 baths to make you resemble a human being again. Every cloud…
And from being at this vantage point, you might not be able to wear your festival outfit but you can certainly ANALYSE what makes a good one.
1. Short shorts
Yes, it’s cold. Yes, it’s also invariably raining. But the whole point of your festival garb is that its anti-appropriate, right? Clothes aren’t functional, they’re lovely liberal pieces of cloth! So why the hell would you wear clothes to keep you warm like all the other conformists? You’re at a festival, you're bending the rules, you're wearing very short shorts on a day that is as cold and wet as November. You also feel a bit Kate Moss in them, which makes you feel even more authentic when you're wailing along to Primal Scream.
2. The LWD (For those of you who may not worship at the altar of acronym-loving Grazia, this stands for The Little White Dress)
We’re going back to the inappropriate thing again, aren't we? Ask yourself, what wouldn’t I want to be wearing when slipping around a very muddy Worthy Farm and I’m pretty sure the words ‘anything white’ might pop into your head. But you’re at a festival, so you do the opposite of sensible as a general standard. And this means Wear a Little White Dress.
3. The Designer Handbag
Yes, you’re slumming it, but you need to reference who your fave designer is without putting your SS11 Erdem dress in an uncompromising situation, right? And that’s exactly why Alexa’s teamed her battered Barbour with a Burberry bag. And why she also has her lovely baby Chanel number with her too (see pic of Alexa in LWD).
And there you have it, the DNA of good festival dressing! And now you have two years to save for the ticket (and the handbag, of course). Watch out Worthy Farm!

I want to go to a proper festival! Purely to dress festival chic :)
