This month 200,000 people will descend on Worthy Farm — and Vogue magazine has decided to make sure its readers are well-prepared with a questionable list of 15 'Glastonbury Essentials,' worth £1,839.
Gone are the days of practical wellies, denim shorts and a naff cagoule.
The fashion bible instead recommends a £595 skirt from Isabel Marant and Vivienne Westwood sunnies for £225.
While models and Glasto regulars Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne get the VIP treatment, Vogue seems to have forgotten that the rest of the campers will spend five days squatting in a portable loo.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale finds some affordable alternatives that you won't mind getting dirty — and saves £1,504.02.

There's nothing more figure-flattering than a crinkle swimsuit – 13 styles I'm adding to my holiday wish list

Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more We can't pinpoint the exact moment when the 'crinkled' swimsuit became the ultimate summer holiday staple, but we can certainly point out the brand that's led the hugely flattering swimwear trend, and that's celebrity-loved label Hunza G. The London-founded brand has been around since the 80s, when it was known as Hunza, but its trademarked Original Crinkle fabrication first became recognisable in the 90s, when Julia Roberts wore that crimped blue-and-white cutout dress in Pretty Woman. In 2015, the swimwear label relaunched as Hunza G by its current creative director, Georgiana Huddart, and the brand's one-size-fits-all swimsuits have since been popularised by It-girls such as Alexa Chung, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa. Pamela Swim - Hunza G Hunza G's designs are simple – other than a couple of striped and metallic iterations, suits come in solid colourways with either a square, scoop, V, strapless or one-shoulder neckline. That's because the brand knows the real star of the show is its iconic Original Crinkle fabric. Sometimes referred to as 'popcorn' fabric, it's figure-hugging while smoothing out every curve because it stretches to mould to your body. (As someone who owns one of their square neck numbers, I can confirm it's the most flattering swimsuit I've ever slipped on.) While I think Hunza G's one-pieces are worth every penny, I have to admit the offering on the high street from brands like H&M, Free People and Bravissimo is strong this season. Ahead, you'll find my pick of the 13 best crinkle swimsuits to shop for SS25. Padded-cup swimsuit - H&M Crinkle High Leg Tummy Control Scoop Swimsuit -Self £25 Shop Miami Swimsuit - Bravissimo £75 Shop Scoop Neck Circle Trim - Friends Like These £36 Shop The Backless One Piece Swimsuit - Free People £98 Shop Vermillion Red Crinkle Scoop Swimsuit - Victoria's Secret £49 Shop Steel Blue Crinkle Scoop Trim Tummy Control Swimsuit -Next £42 Shop Turquoise Ring Strap Scoop Neck Crinkle Swimsuit - George at Asda £16 Shop Crinkle Swimsuit - Accessorize £34 Shop Cleonie Swim Sculpture Maillot Swimsuit - Cleonie Swim £145 Shop Black Crinkle Bead Detail Swimsuit- Florencia - 4th & Reckless £35 Shop To get more of what you love from your favourite Sunday supplement, follow us on Instagram (@youmagazine), TikTok (@you_magazine) and X (@YOUMagSocial).
