The Festival Fashion Look for 2014
By Laura Budd
Clockwise from top left:
1. Kimonos are hot news this Summer and make for the perfect cover-up when the sun goes down.
This floral print beauty from Matalan is only £14 and is perfect over whatever your plan to wear.
2. An oversized t-shirt is super versatile and is perfect with denim and sandals on a sunny day (or more likely wellies). Faded florals are one of our favourite prints right now and this washed out, relaxed tee is £18 from ASOS
3. Who wants to be lugging around a handbag at a festival? Not only does it get in the way of dancing, there's the problem of where to put it when visiting the portaloos! They may not be the most obvious choice, but bumbags do have their uses and there are some pretty cute ones on the market at the moment.
Top of our list is this Giraffe themed one, £20 from ASOS
4. Denim shorts with a slouchy tee equals effortless festival chic. There are hundereds of styles available right now but you can't beat Boohoo for a bargain, with styles like the one above starting at £10

5. If you can't go wild with accessories at a festival than when can you go wild? It's time to embrace your native roots and rock a feathered head dress like this Rock 'N Rose piece from Spoiled Brat
6. A little dress or two is essential for easy dressing. They take up virtually no room in a backpack and can be layered with t-shirts and hoodies if the weather isn't quite tropical. We're loving this Batik print dress from Boohoo (£12
7. It wouldn't be Glastonbury without a mud bath, and looking out of the window right now it's easy to imagine that it'll be the same for many a festival in the coming weeks. If you don't fancy clumpy knee length wellies then a sweet little pair of ankle style ones are a great alternative and not too sweaty if it's hot! Check out SpyLoveBuy
http://www.spylovebuy.com for a great selection at bargain prices, including these Daisy print ones, £19.95.
8. Accessorise your festival wrist bands by combining them with an armful of friendship bracelets. There are loads around this Summer, try River Island for some super fun sets or pick up this bargain set for £8 from ASOS
