Ann Summers might be the unexpected hero of your Glastonbury festival wardrobe
Festival season is officially here, and for those attending Glastonbury on the 25th of June, you'll be well aware that outfit planning is as crucial as the lineup. In my quest for the perfect ensemble, I've stumbled upon some unexpected options at Ann Summers.
The brand is nailing it with its glamorous, dancefloor-ready collection. From sequin-adorned bodysuits to faux leather shorts, it's got all the elements for a headline act moment - and some items are even discounted.
Topping my wish list is the Flashing Lights Sequin Body, now £27.20 (down from £34). With its electric pink hue and abundant sparkle, it's practically designed for dancing under the stage lights, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It's bold, playful and a bit cheeky, featuring a deep back and mesh thong rear. Team it with denim cut-offs, or go all out and wear it alone with a pair of knee-high boots. Charli XCX would approve.
For those feeling particularly daring, the Eternal Rainbow Suit is another option. Now reduced to £28.80 from £36, it's crafted from rainbow lace and mesh instead of a solid colour, lending it a dreamy vibe. It also features underwired cups for added support and adjustable shoulder straps for enhanced comfort.
With a statement piece like this, keep the rest of your outfit understated. Consider black shorts and chunky combat boots to let the bodysuit take centre stage.
If you're on the hunt for the ultimate festival outfit, Jaded London is a cracking alternative. They've got some ace fits on offer, including cargo trousers and co-ords that ooze main-stage vibes. I wore these beige parachute trousers to the Lido Festival in London last weekend, and they were both comfortable and stylish.
Alternatively, you might want to check out Motel Rocks. Renowned for bold prints, sheer layering and that quintessential y2k party-girl energy, it's bang on for romping around in a muddy field.
When it comes to Ann Summers, they've also got some top-notch short options up for grabs. For the festival crowd, you can go all-out glam with a pair featuring diamante detailing or opt for understated chic with a classic black number – both at £28 a pop.
The brand's festival lineup hasn't been widely reviewed yet, though a few punters have chimed in on the diamante shorts. One shopper wrote: "Really pretty. The material is thin, which is perfect for summer. I love the bling detail on the chains."
Another shared: "I recently went from 16 to 14, and I am choosing size medium more often. I went with a size large on this one so that my belly doesn't stick out. They are a bit large, but I love how they make me look as if I have room."
As far as negative critiques on the festival range go, there's not much chatter on Ann Summers' own site. Yet some folks have had a gripe about its delivery service on TrustPilot, noting: "I placed an order which was cancelled a week later. No reason was given; the email stated that if I still wanted the products, I should place a new order."
