Main-stage statements: Nine ways to wear festival fashion

Festivals have come a long way. From music lovers to foodies; wellness seekers to culture vultures, there's something for everyone. But there's one thing that remains the same - the aesthetic. Festival fashion, at its roots, is a vibe sandwich (thank you, TikTok). Think 'I'm with the band' meets cowboy core. Worn together, you've got a Western rock opera. Parlayed with existing pieces in your wardrobe, expect a nod to the trend without having to endure a chemical toilet in a muddy field. Your VIP pass starts here. What better place to start than with Kate Moss whose current collaboration with Zara references some of the supermodel's vintage festival pieces. Stand-outs include a silk-halter neck and printed blouse both which tick the 'jeans and a nice top' box for a Friday night out. A suede fringed waistcoat also doubles as a stand-in. Let the tassels take centre stage by keeping lines clean and lean. Gun shy? Look to accessories like bohemian pendant necklaces (Mango got the memo) or vintage-inspired knee boots that can be worn with flowing maxi dresses or with a ruffle blouse and leather shorts (check out selection at The Frankie Shop). Feeling brave? An artful cowboy hat from Wild as Heck will turn heads. Failing that, animal print offers just enough edge without going the full Stetson. Undo a few buttons of a classic shirt with a pair of snake print jeans from F&F at Tesco or have one of their matching sets do the heavy lifting. You see? Not a tent or a mention of camping either.
