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.

'Shoppers can get my go-to Stanley Quencher water bottle for £16 using deal-stack'
I've been the proud owner of my Stanley Quencher cup for approximately two years, and it was genuinely love at first sip. It's become my daily mate since then, and I find myself using it nearly every single day. Initially, I got it to boost my water intake as I realised I wasn't drinking enough water, but now I consume at least 2.5 litres of water a day. For those who aren't familiar with the Stanley Quencher cup, it's essentially a reusable water bottle that can hold more than a standard size bottle. This larger capacity reduces the need for frequent refills and helps increase your hydration levels. Plus, it keeps your drink icy cold for 48 hours, a feature I value even during the colder months. The Stanley Quencher cup has consistently sold out since its UK debut, but it's not the most wallet-friendly option available, with the 0.8 litre size selling for £40. Discounts are rarely offered on Stanley's website, however, that doesn't mean there aren't savvy ways to secure a deal on this popular brand, reports the Mirror. I've found a bargain that allows you to get the Stanley Quencher for just over £16. Urban Outfitters customers can bag a bargain on the Stanley Quencher, with £15 cashback available via TopCashback. The item is currently on sale for £32, meaning new Urban Outfitters customers will pay £16.16, while existing ones will pay £16.58 after cashback. To claim, new members simply need to register on TopCashback, purchase the Stanley Quencher from Urban Outfitters, and wait for the cashback to be tracked and added to their account. The cup's main purpose is to encourage users to drink more water with minimal effort - something it certainly achieved for me. On the first day, I found myself sipping from the bottle during everyday activities like working on my laptop or watching TV, without even realising it. I think this is largely down to the straw, which makes drinking effortless. My drink stayed refreshingly cold all day after filling the cup with ice, and when left on my bedside table overnight, it was still cool by morning. I noticed that smaller ice cubes did melt after a few hours, but switching to larger cubes ensured they retained their shape for a significantly longer period. This cup is undeniably large, and while the ergonomic handle with comfort-grip inserts does make it comfortable to hold, its size makes it quite heavy to carry around when full. It's not particularly practical for commuting as it takes up a fair bit of space in your bag, but when working from home, the large capacity is a real bonus. Here's how to sign up to TopCashback To claim the new member bonus, new members of TopCashback need to sign up via this link Search for Urban Outfitters and click 'Get Cashback Now' Shop and checkout as usual Cashback will then track and appear in your TopCashback account within seven working days of your purchase Another reusable water bottle capable of holding 1L of liquid is the £45 Ocean Bottle. It's available in 14 stylish colours and can be personalised with your own text for an extra £10. It's also eco-friendly as for every bottle produced, 1,000 plastic bottles are prevented from entering the ocean. You can also find reusable water bottles on Amazon - the iglu water bottle has a 1L capacity and costs £28. For a Stanley Cup that's easier to sip on the move, consider the Stanley IceFlow Bottle. It holds less water (710ml), but its leak-proof design and easy-to-hold handle make it ideal for travel. Throughout July, shoppers can also get the bottle personalised with initials, a logo or a graphic, for free on the Stanley website. Elsewhere at Stanley, the brand has recently launched a collaboration with Messi. Following the success of the footballers first collection with Stanley, some water bottles have already sold-out, however, the limited edition Messi x Stanley Quencher is currently still available.

Four savvy tips to keep the scent of lavender in your home all year round
THE scent of lavender is filling the air . . . but there are plenty of ways to enjoy it all year round. This is the perfect time to snip the stems and dry the flowers. Advertisement 8 There are plenty of ways to enjoy the scent of lavender all year round Credit: Getty Then, let the budding crafter in you can get to work to get the most out of the scent long after summer has gone. CUT AND DRIED: Cut around 10cm down the stem, then gather a handful together and secure them with an elastic band. Hang them upside down to dry for two to four weeks. This will stop the flower heads from dropping while the stems are drying. Advertisement When they feel completely dry, you can rub off the flowers and keep them in a box with a tight lid until you want to use them. SCENTED BAGS: Stick with tradition and make some scented lavender bags to keep or give as gifts. You only need basic skills with a needle and thread, and it's a great way to use up scraps of material. You could fill with two parts lavender to one part rice to give your bags a little weight. Advertisement Use under pillows to help your sleep or put into clothes drawers for a lovely scent. Moths hate the smell of lavender so put the bags in your drawers or wardrobe to keep the flying nibblers away. Explore the Most Beautiful Flower Fields in the UK AND RELAX: Create your own lavender oil, to soothe stress, help sleep and keep bugs at bay. Place the dried lavender in the jar, fill it with olive oil, and let it infuse for two to four weeks, shaking occasionally. Advertisement Finally, strain the mixture and store the oil in a dark glass bottle. Add a few drops to bath water or use as a pillow spray. HOME SPA: Once fully dried out, hang your lavender bundle upside down in the bathroom, along with a few sprigs of dried eucalyptus if you can find them at a florist. The steam from the shower will release the scent, giving you a special spa experience.
