With Glastonbury just weeks away what will you be wearing this festival season? There is one fashion trend that will never fail to flood the fields of UK festivals – the boho frenzy. In stores expect to see lots of fringing, denim, tassels and bohemian prints – all holding nostalgia to the time these festivals originated, in particular Woodstock Music and Arts fair, which began in 1969.

Coincidently, the 70s is the prominent trend for men and womenswear Spring/ Summer 2015 (SS15). Other menswear trends include the classic bucket hat and trackie tops, all resurrected from style icons the Stone Roses. Or for the more hipster crowd, crazy printed shirts and embroidered waistcoats worn with oversized harem pants. The classic 90s neon tracksuit is always a popular choice at festivals – thrift shops are a treasure trove for them.

We’ve all been horrified by the thought of our parents wearing a bum bag on those unforgettable family holidays, and it just so happens that another un-cool 90s classic has become cool. A practical accessory for any festival goer with a secure pouch to store all your essentials. Check out ASOS’s eclectic collection online – with block colours, metallics, prints, sequins and vintage pieces there is a wide range for both men and women.

Lycra catsuits, leotards and matching two-piece sets are super cool and so much fun in eccentric colours and prints. Have a look at Alexander McQueen’s Kabuki inspired design worn by fashion icon David Bowie. Rihanna, Beyoncé and Rita Ora have all rocked this look on and off the stage.

With the track record of British weather, wellies and raincoats are essential. Transparent macs have been trending for a few years now and continue to be a popular choice. Embellished with glitter, floral prints and contrast binding, you can pick these up in most high street stores. Men can keep it simple with block colours, and pack-away ponchos are also a great alternative.

If anything, the gold mine of festival clobber has to be charity shops. Filled with quirky gems, festivals are a time to let go of any fashion hold ups and have fun with what you’re wearing. After all, your personal hygiene goes out the window so why shouldn’t your perception of fashion!
