Best festival outfits for 2024: Glasto-ready partywear from sequins to crochet

Conjure up images of Mediterranean summers with Siedres’ kaleidoscopic jersey top. The long-sleeved number is perfect for partying the night away. Team with the brand’s matching skirt to craft a joyous, colourbomb ensemble or pair with some relaxed jeans and let the garment speak for itself.

The festival waistcoat gets a glow-up this summer, transforming into a tux-inspired silhouette. Pair Free People's design with skin tight jeans and smudged eyeliner to channel rock chic style. The best bit? Tousled, slightly dirty hair finishes the look off perfectly.

Slogan pieces are always acceptable at festivals. Idea’s adjustable cap couldn’t be better suited to techno events, plus it provides shelter from the sun when standing stage-side.

Turn heads in dazzling sunset hues wearing Collina Strada’s floral trousers. The American brand is a dazzling source of quirky ravewear, from long sleeve graphic prints to star-printed socks.

Metallics, sequins, crochet - Sandro’s Brunielou dress ticks all the festival boxes. With 40 per cent off, the glitzy number will appeal to luxury fashion lovers who are keen to unleash their inner teen.

For festival season and beyond, Cro-Che is the brand you need on your radar. In a soft pastel pink, this dress takes crochet with its boho sentiments and gives it a nostalgic 90s feel with beaded butterflies that have been sewn by hand. The piece comes alive during the day when the light reflects on the 3D design and makes it shimmer.

Slip into a white mini dress and let these cherry red Westerns take centre stage. Both affordable and covetable in equal measure, these puppies are set to sell out. Trust us, it’s not our first rodeo.

Someone call the Y2K police because Swarovski has been let loose. The brand’s SK7023 sunnies are the perfect pick for summer days spent in festival fields or girls' holidays overseas. The tongue-in-cheek specs showcase clear gradient pink lenses that transition from light to dark hues, teamed with a pale gold frame and temples. As for the pink crystal embellishments, well, a bedazzled Noughties statement never hurt anyone, did it?

Opt for both comfort and style with a pair of Sporty Spice-inspired shorts. Adidas’ three-striped longline shorts offer a dash of boyish charm. Pair yours with a lace top and combat boots.

Available in a variety of gorgeous pastel tones, these lace bloomers are a definitive aspect of the coquette aesthetic. Though bloomers would’ve been traditionally worn as undergarments in the Regency period, modern aesthetics and sensibilities have seen them become a summertime favourite.

Considering the brand’s repertoire with Gen Z, it would almost be rude not to commend Urban Outfitters for its dedication to Y2K styles. This shimmering pale pink scarf is ideal for younger consumers wanting to perfect their pop princess circa 2006 look.

A simple mesh bra is imperative for party season. Wear H&M’s crystal-clad piece under swathes of mesh for a subtly sexy club night look.

Moo-ve through the crowd in a statement look. Topshop’s high-neck tank top features easy-wear monochrome shades in a striking animal print.

They may sit on the pricier end of the scale, but Citizens of Humanity’s Ayla Shorts are worth every penny. A soft yet sturdy denim construction is cut into a boxy silhouette. Pair yours with brown cowboy boots for a chic androgynous aesthetic.

Part of Fruity Booty’s showstopping lace capsule collection, the Rosas stretchy lace dress is complete with an asymmetric hem for joyous walks in the park and dancing long into the night.

Upgrade your boot collection with some pink-tinted Dr. Martens. The brand’s Jetta Hi Max platforms will keep the rain and mud at bay while serving up rock chick glam.

If you’re at a day festival, you’ll want to make the most of it. Stay out late and wrap up warm with Tach’s beautifully crafted Lenu cardigan, which was locally made in Uruguay. Merging rainbow, pastel and neutral shades, the zip-up jacket is a snug, statement piece with oodles of fun.

Salomons are topping our footwear wish lists for many reasons. From the slick design to the athletic lattice panels, this is a performance-fashion hybrid that deserves your attention. The brand’s running-inspired XT-6 trainers are made from lightweight, sage-green mesh with resistant TPU film that sits atop an EVA sole. This means the foot is protected from possible injury and the mercurial British weather while you're out and about.

Inject some Noughties sentiment into your summer look with a Y2K studded belt. This white leather edition by Free People showcases shining metal studs and a loose fit to perch neatly your hips.

Better known for smart, hard-wearing travel luggage, AWAY has three styles of bumbag to swoon over. Our pick is the graphic floral one made in collaboration with lauded fashion designer Ashish. Printed on 100 per cent recycled polyester, it also has plenty of pockets and clips to keep your most precious things close. A limited edition, this design won’t stick around for long, so if you want one - well, you know what to do.

We’re going to let you into a secret - and that secret is Boot Barn. Based in the USA but available to shop from the UK, Boot Barn is the best place to find authentic, creative cowboy boots. These Shyanne Maisie Floral Embroidered Western Leather Boots simply scream ‘Take me to Coachella’ - don’t you think?

Let there be lace! For those pining after an unusual lace piece to re-wear, look to Sinead Gorey. The designer has curated a colourful, creative range of must-have lacewear to elevate your going-out wardrobe.

Channel your inner pixie with a sheer midi skirt. House of Sunny’s ethereal piece comes in a honey-butter yellow hue with floral corsage detailing.
