Forget Coachella, our home-grown fashionistas WIN at festival attire

by

When it comes to music festivals, our Stateside pals definitely have us beat on weather, but there's no denying we're nose to nose in the style stakes.

With festival attire rapidly taking over a large portion of our wardrobes, the vast majority of us have graduated from the 'binliner and fisherman's hat' approach, and have instead taken inspiration from a number of different trends in order to create our very own festival chic.

When it comes to the numerous musical events which have and continue to punctuate our summer, we have the look absolutely nailed.

Case in point: Longitude 2016.

Giving the Coachella contingent a serious run for their money in the grunge stakes, our Longitude ladies went for more than a passing nod to the 90s, and did it like absolute pros. 

Two-tone denim and cons FTW.

There's no doubt white crop tops or for the more daring among us – white bralets –  are BIG this festival season, and we're all over the boho-inspired Broderie anglaise version which we're definitely getting our hands on for Electric Picnic.

Think how little space they'd take up in a rucksack! Packing hack 101 right there.

With dungarees making a huge comeback this year, festival-goers have been going for them in a big way, and we're hella impressed.

New Look and Topshop are great for overalls right now, so if you can't see yourself wearing a pair outside of a fest, at least you won't have broken the bank!

Everyone knows that accessories can make or break an outfit, so we're all over the sleek and chick bumbag look currently gaining momentum at Irish festivals this summer.

Most of us are opting for minimal because – well, it IS a bumbag at the end of the day – and yet there's such an abundance on the high street right now, it's unlikely you'll bump into someone rocking the same one.

Longitude ladies, you have it nailed.
