Trend Inspo: Festival Style Guide

With festival season about to really kick start over here in the UK, we thought we would give you a little heads up on the style stakes at each of our favourite festivals! With so many on offer now, you're guranteed to find something to suit your tastes, musically and of course, fashionably.

Here's our Top Picks for Field Day, Download, Glastonbury, Reading and Bestival for Summer 2015:

FIELD DAY

Floral Headband - Motel Rocks Shirt Dress - Topshop Black Leather Bag - Topshop Jeans - Ray Ban Clubmasters - Clarks Desert Boots - Urban Outfitters Denim Jacket

East London's Indie offering has been growing from strength to strength the last few years and has certainly become a hub of Dalston's finest. With so many fresh new acts on the bill, there are some pretty good looking people at Field Day and the style is probably summed up as relaxed modern vintage. Forget your gender boundaries and go for jazzy shirts, washed out denim and the ultimate in festival comfort, the classic desert boot.

Bill and Mar Camo Coord - Ray Bans - Dr Marten Patent Boots - Topshop Check Shirt - Grafea Leather Backpack - Urban Outfitters Jacket - Asos Necklace - Lazy Oaf Sweatshirt

Britain's heaviest offering definitely has room for more than your favourite band tee and jeans. We love feminine edges to camo and check shirts for an awesome tom-boy vibe without forgetting the staple bomber jacket and trusty docs. Finish off with a hard-wearing Grafea backpack to get the practical/fashion balance spot on.

GLASTONBURY

ZARA Denim Dress - Unif Black Hat - ASOS Pom Pom Scarf - ASOS Tan Round Bag - ASOS Black Festival Boots - Topshop Suede Waistcoat - ASOS Round Sunglasses - Topshop Choker

Glastonury will always be the home of the boho babe and with so many quirky bits around this season, there's no excuse to go all out with the theatrics. Mix statement tunics with staple fringed waistcoats and remember that there is no such thing as too much detail!

READING AND LEEDS
Ray Ban Wayfarers - Topshop Button Through Skirt - Topshop Hat - Urban Outfitters Wax Jacket - Joules Wellies - L'Oreal Blake Lipstick - Topshop Stripe Tee

For the summer's biggest, most diverse festival, simple chic is key. Go for classics like wax jackets and breton stripes, this season's favourite button through skirt and finish off your look with red lips and stand out wellies!

BESTIVAL (SUMMER OF LOVE)

The Ragged Priest Bralet - The Ragged Priest Crochet Flares - ASOS Suede Collar - Topshop Boot Bling - Topshop Floral Flares  - Rock N Rose White Crown  - Choies Heart Sunglasses 

With a Summer Of Love theme this year, it's essential to go allll out with the retro vibes! Prints, flares and novelty details are all perfect for a stint on the Isle Of Wight and will probably be the most spectacular end to festival Season.

Our Dorothy Perkins Summer Story - Amy

Outfit 1 - Cover Up, White Gypsy Top, Linen Shorts, Sandals c/o Dorothy Perkins

Outfit 2 - White Kimono, White Gypsy Top, White Denim Shorts, Sunglasses c/o Dorothy Perkins

With festival season fast approaching, it's time to start thinking about those all important outfits and we were asked by the lovely ladies at Dorothy Perkins to style up their festival pieces for their website! The thing I loved about the product we had to chose from, was how it would work for most festivals, home and abroad.

For both looks, I couldnt help but base my outfits around this amazing boho blouse! It fits in perfectly with that 70s trends and it just so happens to go with everything! If there is any essential/investiment piece you need this festival season, this is it. For the first look I went for light layering with an open coverup and simple shorts and for look 2 I went for a total white out with denim shorts and key kimono

Trend Inspo: Celebs at Coachella

Ah, Summer finally feels like it's here and festival season has officially started with the first round of Coachella last weekend and the outfits were even dreamier than ever! We are loving the excess amounts of suede, fringing and crochet this year and it seems like the celebs were too! Check out our favourite looks and get them for your very self:

Kate Bosworth

Jacket - Tunic - Sunglasses - Bag - Boots

Kate's festival fashion is always impeccable and she has hit the nail on the head once again with this simple, yet simply perfect look. Go for your favourite staples of a white tunic, aviators and ankle boots but finish off with a statement jacket to give the wow factor.

Atlanta de Cadenet

Sunglasses - Tee - Jeans - Neck Scarf - Back Pack - Boots

It was a total White Out at Coachella this year and this casual look from the daughter of Amanda de Cadenet and Duran Duran's John Taylor has been our favourite of all. It's all in those little details with the neck scarf, sunnies and backpack - who knew straight leg white jeans could look soo good?

Gigi Hadid

Fringe Jacket - Crochet Bralet - Shorts - Chain Belt - Bag

It's no secret that the whole of the fashion world is on the look out for that perfect suede/fringe combo for 2015's summer nights but model Gigi has done the hard work for us! This cape style is perfect for festivals without being too heavy. Texture clash with crochet and acid wash denim and you can't go wrong.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Dress - Sunglasses - Bag - Bracelet

Is there anything this girl can't do? RHW definitely wins our best dressed gong for the weekend with this incredible dress. Topped off simply with the 'it' Coach bag (as seen on Jordan Dunn too!) and simple accessories, this look has got us well and truly inspired for the upcoming season

Who was your best dressed from the first Coachella? We can't wait to see what comes out of next weekend!

For Those About To Rock - Amy

Fringed Suede Jacket c/o Missguided, H&M Black Roll Neck, Suede Dress c/o Missguided, Rayban Wayfarer, Primark Bag, Penny Loafers c/o Missguided

With Coachella just days away, it can only mean one thing - festival season is here! Once again, we are crying into our wellies with jealousy as we'd give anything to be over Cali right now but it gives us all the more reason to dress up at home!

Missguided is certainly our one-stop festival shop right now, with so much amazing product we both had a hard time choosing pieces for our Coachella inspired shoot! Suede is hottt right now and MG have it in abundance - it's decent faux too, so it's friendly and affordable! I couldn't resist doing the double with this incredible tassle jacket that will carry me all the way through to Bestival and this super cute little dress with its utility details.

To break up the suede, I went for all black details and finished off with these amazing loafers, not top practical but they look amazing and give a more wearable/everyday feel to the outfit.

What are your festival favourites going to be this year? Make sure you've got Missguided ready to rock!

Hippy Hippy Shake - Amy

Moroccan Cardigan c/o Urban Outfitters, Cami Top c/o Urban Outfitters, H&M Black Roll Neck Top, Topshop Houndstooth Trousers, Topshop Fedora, Marks and Spencer Scarf, Topshop Belt, Suede Boots c/o Pretty Little Thing

It's a little hard to think about summer trends when it's barely plus degrees outside but we love a style challenge from our favourite ladies at Asos Fashion Finder so we're delighted when they asked us to style up the Hippy trend for their SS15 Guide. I have to admit, this was a little more up Naomi's street than my own but I was excited to put my own twist on some of the trends key pieces.

I wanted to go for ethnic prints for my statement bits and this snuggly cardi and cami combo was perfect - how I long for the summer nights when I can just chuck this on with some denim shorts and docs for a festival feel but alas, this is England, so I decided to layer up and go for an outfit suitable for the family festivals we have planned this Spring. The roll neck, houndstooth and suede gave slight nods to the retro element of the hippy trend without anything to wild - the simplistic tailoreded feel gives the trend that modern edge for 2015. 

To inject some brighter colour into the outfit (as this is necessary!) I decided to pull the colours out of the cami and went for this amazing fedora and scarf to accessorise.

Lovebox - Amy

Embroidered Denim Jacket c/o Missguided, Shirt Dress c/o Missguided, Sunglasses c/o Missguided, Chain Necklace c/o Missguided, Bag c/o Missguided, Snake Print Boots c/o Missguided

Missguided have hit the nail on the head with just about every trend this summer so it's no surprise that their festival shop offers everything needed for every taste and, more importantly, every festival. I first laid eyes on this incredible denim jacket at the Missguided Fest at the Company Style Blogger Awards and knew I had to have it! It's such a casual yet statement piece and I have always vowed denim jackets are everyone's festival must have as they are so hard-wearing - what's not to love?

I could imagine wearing this outfit to more of a 'day' festival rather than a weekend of camping and as the jacket sets off quite an East London vibe it'd be perfect for all you lucky buggers going to Lovebox next weekend! Shirt dresses are a staple for me in every situation and this monochrome one is so comfy and flows beautifully

I went all out with the pattern clash by adding in snakeskin accessories for this look, if you can't go print crazy at festivals when can you? but the monochrome aspect means it's not too much for those of you who aren't brave enough to pull off Naomi's exciting ensembles and it really let's the jacket take the well deserved headline slot.
