But no idea what to wear? If you’ve lost self-confidence after having kids or getting used to a new shape, then putting an outfit together can feel like a challenge. Festivals might feel like such a departed world from the new one that you find yourself in day-to-day. But actually, they’re a time and place to let go and rekindle the old ‘less responsible you’. Here are the 6 key pieces that will make outfit building for Bestival a lot easier! 1. A Band Tee The ever versatile band tee looks great paired with almost anything, especially a short skirt, but it still works with a longer length – if that’s more your thing. Top Tip: If you’re going short – wear cycling shorts underneath for comfort (and decency!). Printed T-Shirt Anine Bing £90 Oval Sunglasses Zara £19.99 Leather Mini Skirt Warehouse £126.75 Heeled Cowboy Boots Stradivarius £69.99 Molten Hoops Astrid & Miyu £70 Changing Backpack Tiba and Marl £150 2. A Crochet Dress Crochet-style dresses are timeless and mean you don’t have much to think about when putting your outfit together. Just add on some cool accessories, and you are festival ready! Wool Hat Lack of Colour £165 Mama Pointelle Dress H&M £29.99 Le Specs Cat Eye Sunglasses Missoma £130 Chain Set Missoma £195 Stud Leather bag Mango £79.99 Stappy Sandals Mango £49.99 3. A Statement Accessory One of the best ways to dress for a festival and still feel like you, is to play with colour via your accessories. You can wear a simple look of a t-shirt and jeans and then jazz it up with some bolder items, that feel a lot less scary. Love Bunny T-Shirt Ganni £90 Sunglasses H&M £6.99 Chain Bracelet Monica Vinader £95 Wide High Jeans H&M £24.99 Braided Net Bag Mango £29.99 Gazelle Trainers Adidas £75 4. A Denim Shirt Do you dare to try out double denim? You should! It’s so on trend atm and looks great with statement cowboy boots and retro sunnies. Too much for you? Try out this season’s cargo trousers instead and tie up your shirt or semi tuck it in. Aviator Sunglasses Urban Outfitters £22 Oversized Denim Shirt H&M £59.99 Coin Cord necklace Missoma £89 Slit-Hem Denim Skirt H&M £39.99 Denim Shoulder Bag Zara £32.99 Cactus Cowboy Boots Zara £99.99 5. A Maxi Dress Feel like maxi dresses are the safe but boring option? It’s all about how you style it up and a lightweight denim shirt is the perfect throw on. Pair with some wellies in a neutral shade and you’re good to go! Denim Shirt Mango £35.99 Square Frame Sunglasses Ray Ban £131 Forget Me Not Maxi Free People £118 Tote Bag Arket £259 Twisted Claw Clip Accessorize £7 Ankle Height Boots H&M £29.99 6. A Swimsuit There’s a lot of water-based activities at Bestival but there’s not always time to head back to your tent to re-jig your outfit. Make the most of it and build your outfit around it! Throw over a linen shirt, tie it up, and then team with some loose leg-flattering shorts. Padded Cup Swimsuit H&M £19.99 Snake Chain Necklace Missoma £169 Distressed Denim Shorts Agolde £180 Oversized Linen Shirt Zara £32.99 Tiny Horn Anklet Missoma X Lucy Williams £89 Arizona Sandals Birkenstock £41.46 (Sale) All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however, we may make a commission on some products.
