Festiv-al a mode!

Since my last post, there has been a little absence – my apologies but there is a significant reason relative to fashion …there is something big, good and fashion-filled in the footwork. More info coming soon ;-)

 Hope you have been enjoying the spells of sunshine we have had and bronzed up ready for that time of year…yes, festival season is here again!

Preparing for the festival season can be a little overwhelming but fun.

Have you got your tent, SPF, those-handbag-essentials, cooler bag and so on… on the ready? 

...But most importantly, your festival-inspired outfits and accessories?

Ok, if you need a little inspiration - then look no further! :-)

From having to think about your sunglasses, boots, essentials-bag to your choice of shorts, dresses that you are choosing to opt-in for...

Whatever you choose, make sure it makes a statement.

One of the key trends that I am going to share with you is stylishly chic and that I simply adore this year's festival season.

The Printed Pyjama Pants Trend.

I must say, I am loving the Printed Pyjama Pants trending this season. Light and cool in the look and feel – pretty versatile for this occasion. Casually chic but yet so super stylish. 

…Festival perfection!

 

Above: Printed Trousers, £38, Lipsy, Next; Charinne Slim Printed Trouser, £95, Lauren Ralph Lauren, House of Fraser; Floral-Print Tapered Crepe Trousers, £115, Karen Millen, Selfridges

Chose from the monochrome print or go for the pop of colour - go bold with the Aztec or Geometric prints but the classic florals and subtle-patterns are just as empowering. Beautiful!

Guys, get in on the printed pants trend too, if you dare...  

 

Above: Star-Print Cotton Jogging Bottoms, £130, True Religion, Selfridges; Palm Tree Print Drop-Crotch Trousers, £602, Roberto Cavalli, Farfetch; Printed Cotton-Jersey Jogging Bottoms, £130, Billionaire Boys Club, Selfridges

Top and Blazer combo is a must! 

Ladies, pair those trendy printed trousers with a neutral top and classy-chic blazer (go sleeveless) to bring oomph to your outfit.

Accessories… Finish off your entire ensemble by dressing it up with a statement necklace and ring or bracelet - go subtle with the earrings (maybe some chic studs or hoop earrings). 

Oh - not forgetting the shades! Aviators for me! 

 

Above: Waterfall Structured Jacket, Yellow Flash, £34.99, Mango, John Lewis; Cross-Back Halter Crop Top, £10.00, Topshop; Longline Ribbed Cami, £8.00, Topshop; Black ribbed high neck fitted top, £16.00, River Island; Aztec Print Trouser, £20.00, ASOS; Mayan Tribal Collar Necklace, £15.00, Accessorize; 6x Clean Geo Stacking Rings, £12.00, Accessorize

Footwear...

Ok, so when it comes to the footwear – heels are definitely a no-no.

Keeping the weather in mind – yes, the humid, rainy days that creep upon us during the festival season… make sure to go for a pair of stylish Boots (loving the ankle boots!), Espadrilles or like me opt for the Chunky Heel Sandals to bring the outfit together.

Safe but stylish does it ;-)

Or in a nutshell - My other outfit, ensemble on standby, would be following the Denim on Denim trend.

Denim shorts paired with a sleeveless denim shirt - paired with some super-chic Hunter wellies or Kurt Geiger ankle boots. Accessorised with a gold chain headband, layered necklace - finished with my Ray-Ban aviators and across the body, vintage-style bag... Perfecto!

So...

Want to do it luxe-style, head over to Selfridges or Harvey Nichols for their finest, refined and beautifully designed festival-inspired pieces. Fabuleux!

Or just head over to your high street faves from Topshop, River Island, New Look to explore their diverse style-choices they have to offer that also deliver festival-perfection.

Browse, take your picks and boom! Outfits are sorted. Bring on festival! 

Remember, whatever you go for – Dare to be Different.

Thank you for your time reading my post, hope it was insightful and until next time my lovelies, hope you have a fabulous time at festival!

Love and Inspo.
