After months of preparations, early sign-ups and multiple-device set-ups all trying to secure tickets, we're now all wondering what to wear to Glastonbury as the UK's most anticipated festival is nearly here.
If you were one of the lucky 200k-odd people to have secured entry, we salute you. This year was arguably the hardest yet (and priciest, with tickets costing £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee), selling out in under 40 minutes.
Michael and Emily Eavis also confirmed that 2026 will be a fallow year in order to let the agriculture recover, so after this year's performances – which include legends such as Rod Stewart, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Raye, Doechii and The 1975 – the proverbial gates will be shut until 2027, making attendance even more covetable than ever.
As far as the best festival outfits go, Glasto does differ from the norm. Traditionally, people dress in much more casual, ‘everyday’ attire as opposed to the likes of what we saw at Coachella. That being said, there really is no right or wrong thing to wear. Part of the reason why people love festivals so much is because of the creative freedom. So if you want to wear a sequin mini dress with a pair of wellington boots, go for it; equally, if you'd rather schlep about in loungewear and some flip flops, no one will bat an eyelid.
1. AN EASY DRESS
One thing you will thank yourself for packing is an easy dress, and by that we mean something you can throw on and go. You could opt for a frock that requires little-to-no accessorising, i.e. something colourful or embellished, or one which you can jazz up with jewellery and therefore get away with wearing more than once.

2. A DRESSY BOTTOM
We all have enough tank tops and t-shirts to last a weekend (hopefully), but fun skirts, shorts and trousers can come in handy should you wish to upgrade your look. Think: sequins, crochet, cargos and sports shorts that'll lend themselves nicely to the 30k+ steps you'll be doing every day.
Maybe steer clear of really minuscule hemlines, though, if you want to avoid flashing when you're up on someone's shoulders.

3. VERSATILE TOPS
From basic camis to band tees, halterneck crops to strappy bikinis, add a few versatile tops to your suitcase/backpack and you'll thank yourself later. If you're adding to your collection, look for pieces which are easily layerable – see below for inspo – that way you can adapt your 'fit to suit a variety of forecasts.

4. ALL-WEATHER SHOES
Wellies, comfortable fashion trainers, flats you don't mind getting wet, and fun footwear (read: cowboy boots and biker boots) are exactly the things to bring with you to Glastonbury 2025. Sienna Miller is rarely seen without her waterproof ankle boots when she attends the festival, but we're predicting a lot of jelly shoes this year round.

5. A DO-IT-ALL JACKET
As we know from previous years (hark back to mudgate circa 2016) the weather is incredibly unpredictable, and while we may hope for glorious sunshine it can sometimes be cold, wet and windy – so make sure you bring a jacket or two. Raincoats are always advisable, but leather jackets, windbreakers, denim jackets or a celebrity-favoured Barbour will go down a treat too.

6. A HANDY BAG
Though you may not want to lug your trusty tote bag around all day (and we don't blame you), you will need some sort of vessel to keep your essentials safe. Something big enough for your powerbank, SPF, sunglasses, card holder and maybe even a water bottle is preferential, but at the very least wear something that'll keep your phone safe. And, no, your pockets don't count!

7. FUN ACCESSORIES
The easiest way to liven up a festival look is through your accessories. Stack every bracelet you own, wear the funky sunglasses, spray yourself in glitter and put something fun in your hair, because if you can't go big at Glastonbury then when can you?
