On though, as much as your festival clothes should be expressive, fun, and adequately convey your excitement around attending the event, they should also be something you feel comfortable in (as well as being suited for the climate and conditions). Take it from Alexa Chung, Margot Robbie and Lily James, who wouldn't so much as enter a field without a waterproof jacket.

Another pro-tip? Wear closed-toe shoes that wouldn’t mind getting a little scuffed, because packed crowds and the dirt that covers the festival ground will definitely affect your footwear. Boots (specifically cowboy boots or wellies) or comfortable trainers are the best options.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro at these events or a total newbie seeking a wild weekend, you’ll be needing some new festival gear – that includes faux suede blazers, jumpsuits/boilersuits, denim shorts or cycling shorts, ‘70s outfits, sequin co-ords, corset tops and midi dresses and mini dresses. A tent too, of course, but we’ll let you source that, and PSA; here's what not to bring to festivals.

Apart from copious amounts of biodegradable glitter (which, by the way, you’ll be finding in various places months after you return home), flavoured gin, snack boxes and hard seltzers you’ll want to take, you’ll also need several different outfits while you’re at a festival. An outfit for each day, plus an outfit for the evening, and probably a couple of spares in case it chucks it down with rain or you get covered in someone’s beer in the middle of a moshpit – both incredibly likely to occur.

We've found 33 of the best festival outfits (from the best online clothing stores) that'll make you feel the part. All that's needed is a festival hair look to boot.
