Heading to Glastonbury or Wireless? Here's 10 stylish festival outfit ideas our fashion writer is loving for this summer (and beyond)
Festival season in the UK is officially about to kick off, with major events such as Glastonbury and Download taking place in June, followed by Wireless and Latitude in July. Second most important to securing tickets and sorting your camping gear is finding the perfect festival outfit, and it's important to strike a balance between cute and comfortable (after all, you will be dancing all day long, so comfort is key). Luckily, women-founded brand Mint Velvet has everything you need to get ready for festival season, from staples such as biker jackets and denim shorts to accessories such as cowboy boots and cross body bags. And because we advocate for wearing an outfit far more than once, everything in Mint Velvet's festival edit will pair well with almost anything in your wardrobe, so you'll get your wear out of whatever you choose. Take the stress out of festival outfit planning and browse our top picks from Mint Velvet below. Now all you need to worry about is remembering your tent pegs. Mint Velvet Silver Sequin Vest Top A grown-up take on sequins, this luxe feel vest boasts a scoop neckline and sheer, raw edge trim, with fringed sequin detailing. For the ultimate festival 'fit, we'd pair this with distressed denim shorts and your most comfortable cowboy boots - because if you can't pull out sequins for festival season, when can you? £69 Shop Mint Velvet Neutral Floral Ombre Print Midi Dress A dress that's as perfect for summer evenings as it is for your upcoming festival, this western-summer-inspired design boasts a floral ombre print alongside a flattering v-neckline and bias cut hemline. For a festival look, pair it with a denim jacket and cowboy boots, and for summer evenings, dress it up with a pair of open-toe sandals or down with your favourite white trainers. It's a wardrobe must-have. £130 Shop Mint Velvet Neutral Suede Shirt The perfect transitional layering piece, this oversized suede shirt is sumptuously soft and comfortable - perfect for throwing on over your festival outfit as the night draws in. Made from neutral-toned fabric with a button fastening, flap pockets and buttoned cuff, we'd match this with a tiered-white skirt and graphic tee. Also a great addition to your transitional wardrobe, you'll grab this over and over as summer draws to a close. £235 Shop Mint Velvet Light Indigo Denim Shorts A festival essential, these denim high-rise shorts are a summer staple - and pair seamlessly with the rest of your warm weather-wardrobe. Featuring belt loops so you can add your own spin on your final look, as well as five pockets and a raw hem, wear this with an oversized band or graphic tee and a pair of wellies or boots (weather dependent), for a low-key, casual festival look. £59 Shop Mint Velvet Black Casual Leather Jacket If you don't yet have a leather jacket in your wardrobe, you'll want to add one ASAP in time for festival season. Crafted from buttery-soft leather in a black hue and cut in a signature biker silhouette, the jacket is finished with gold hardware and zipped detailing for a slight edge. The type of layering piece you'll make use for throughout all the seasons, for festival looks, simply pair with denim shorts and a simple tee for an understated yet timeless look. £299 Shop Mint Velvet Etta Black Stitched Cowboy Boots As we've talked in length about cowboy boots, it wouldn't be right if we didn't include a pair - and these ones are at the top of our wish list. Western style is huge this year (thanks to Bella Hadid), and this classic design will help you nail the trend. With a painted toe, wooden block heel, contrast stitch detailing and a zip fastening, they pair well with anything from tiered skirts and denim shorts to midi dresses and jeans - and we're totally obsessed. £180 Shop Mint Velvet Tan Suede Fringe Crossbody Bag Keep your belongings and essentials close by with this stylish yet practical cross-body (that also compliments the Western trend perfectly). With fringe and studded detailing throughout, the bag also boasts zipped pockets for the safe keeping of your festival essentials - phone, power bank, gum, etc. And when the festival season is done, it's ideal for weekend outings! £99 Shop Mint Velvet Brown Tortoiseshell Rectangle Sunglasses Hide tired eyes the morning after a long night with these essential tortoiseshell sunglasses, a must-have for your handbag this festival season. The perfect finishing touch to any summer (or festival) outfit, the glasses also come with their own case, so you can keep them in tip-top condition. £59 Shop Mint Velvet Black Cotton California T-Shirt Pair this graphic t-shirt with jean shorts or a boho skirt for the ultimate festival look this summer. With a standard fit and crew neckline, the design boasts a 'California' slogan across its front, so although you'll be standing in a muddy field rather than at Coachella, you'll certainly feel like the latter - and even Kendall Jenner opted to wear a simple black tee to the iconic festival this year, so you'll be right on trend. £45 Shop Mint Velvet Tan Suede Waistcoat Finish off your festival look with this boho-inspired waistcoat, boasting a V-neckline, square pockets and an easy button fastening. In a flattering muted brown hue, throw this on over a tee and shorts, or your favourite dress or co-ord, to add an instant, festival-ready spin to any outfit. £159

Will Ferrell ‘excited' to bring Eurovision musical to Broadway
Will Ferrell has said he is 'excited' to bring a musical version of the Eurovision Song Contest to Broadway. The American actor, 57, is basing the project on his Netflix movie, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga, which he starred in opposite Canadian actress Rachel McAdams and British actor Dan Stevens. Advertisement 'We are more than excited to bring Eurovision to Broadway,' said Ferrell. 'The stage musical is a perfect place to continue our celebration of all the things we love about this amazing and unifying song competition.' Ferrell starred opposite Canadian actress Rachel McAdams, pictured, in the Netflix movie (Ian West/PA) The production will feature a book by Ferrell, Harper Steele, who both co-wrote the original film and were in the documentary Will & Harper together, and Anthony King, a TV and Broadway writer. Music will come from Savan Kotecha, who was behind the songs for the Netflix movie, and will be directed by Alex Timbers. Advertisement 'Will Ferrell and Harper Steele are my comedy heroes,' Timbers, a Tony award-winning director, said. 'And when I first saw their joyful movie Eurovision during the pandemic, it buoyed spirits during a very dark time. 'With this stage adaptation, I can't wait to bring that same mix of heart, spectacle, irreverence, and awe to audiences across the world.' In the 2020 movie, The Notebook actress McAdams, an Oscar nominee, and Elf star Ferrell play Icelandic musicians Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir who are competing at Eurovision. Advertisement JJ from Austria won Eurovision 2025 (AP Photo/Denes Erdos) It was nominated for a best original song Academy Award for Husavik (My Hometown) written by Kotecha, Fat Max Gsus, and Rickard Goransson. Eurovision director Martin Green, from the organising group, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), said: 'This is a stellar team for what I am sure will be an equally stellar adaption of a film the world loved. 'Our aim always is to bring the joy of the Eurovision Song Contest to more people globally – especially as we approach our 70th edition in 2026.' Last month, the 2025 winner of Eurovision was crowned as 24-year-old opera singer JJ from Austria, who entered with the dramatic Wasted Love. Advertisement The UK came 19th in May after Remember Monday earned 88 points from the national juries for their song What The Hell Just Happened? and no points from the audience. Netflix has previously turned its popular science fiction show Stranger Things into a play in the West End called Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which serves as a prequel to the series.
