With Sunflowerfest happening this weekend in Hillsborough, and the likes of Limavady’s Stendhal Festival and Belfast Vital Festival to look forward to next month – it’s time to get festival fashion ready!

Whether it’s headliners like Crazy P, Ash, Biffy Clyro or Tiesto you’re getting siked up for – we’ve got you covered. From bright tassel earrings to sassy slogan tees, sweet pastel colours to pretty embroidery, there’s so much to choose from this season’s festival trends.

Replace feather earrings for tassels

First thing’s first – accessory-wise, you might want to leave the feathery earrings and flower crown at home to avoid looking too cliché. For an original approach, colour-block your outfit with these fun-loving, show-stopping tassel earrings. Think of the Emperor’s New Groove, only edgy. Look to Pinterest for some inspiration – everyone’s loving these at the moment!

The traditional cover-up

Thinking practically (it is Northern Ireland after all) – when the colder temperatures start to creep in and you’ve done all your jumping about, you’ll want your trusty cargo jacket to chuck on for an effortlessly cool look. The ASOS one featured below is festival perfection with its lace-up sides and is only £25 in the sale! Other alternatives could be a pastel coloured or ditsy patterned raincoat to stand out from the crowd.

 

Bring the sunshine with you

If we’re unfortunate enough that the weather won’t work out in our favour, try bringing the sunshine to the festival by injecting some yellow into your outfit. It’s the sort of colour that will make you and others instantly happy, so it’s guaranteed to reflect your excitement for the night ahead!

 

The staple slogan tee

If you haven’t noticed already – slogan, band and branded t-shirts are having a real moment right now. Especially with Gucci’s signature logo tee soaring in online searches by over 200% after the first Saturday of Coachella 2017. Whether you want to sport a favourite brand or band, a feisty statement or support a political movement – these t-shirts are so easy to match, clash and get your personality across.

 

Swap prints for embroidery

From tribal to floral – embroidery is everywhere right now, and it is perfect for the festival season. Not only does it look delicate and pretty, it also looks intricately hand-made and expensive. Whether it’s an accessory, top or dress, embroidery can also be toughened up for a festival with an over-sized black biker jacket or some well-worn Dr Martens.
