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

EXCLUSIVE Kate's gone Glasto again! Moss launches Zara festival 2025 look... but won't those white suits struggle to cope with all that mud?
With less than three weeks until Glastonbury, festival-goers are almost as busy planning outfits as they are deciding which bands they want to see. Yes, Britain's oldest festival is all about the music. But increasingly, it's about the clothes too. Nobody knows this more keenly than Kate Moss, whose festival wardrobe has never put a wellied foot wrong over the years, whether she's in a battered army jacket, embroidered waistcoat or cut-off denim shorts. Which is why her second collaboration with Zara is as shrewd as it's perfectly timed. Launching on Monday, the 70-piece collection has everything you need for Glastonbury, bar the tent. Even if a music festival is your idea of hell, fans of Kate's style should find themselves in seventh heaven. Just as she did with her sold-out Topshop collections in the early 2000s, Moss, 51, has drawn heavily on her own wardrobe for inspiration, replicating some of her favourite vintage jewellery, leather accessories and thrift-store finds. While you'll need a double shot of body confidence to wear items such as the tiny silver hot pants (£149) or studded leather bralette (£79.99), there are friendlier items. A black ribbed vest, the cheapest item at £15.99, should prove a classic summer staple, as will a silk daisy-print halter neck top, £119. Moss has also turned her hand to menswear for the first time, with the help of her long-time friend, Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie. A veteran of Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage, he has drawn on his stage wardrobe to design a white blazer, £139, suede ankle boots, £169, and a Western-inspired shirt, £69.99. Zara's advertising campaign also stars Gillespie's model son, Lux, 21, and Moss's daughter, Lila, 22. While Moss has always had a special place in British women's hearts, she will now have a place in women's wardrobes globally, given the collection will be available in 120 stores worldwide. Moss and Gillespie have also paid attention to the quality of the tailoring, in the hope their hero piece, a cream silk trouser suit, will be loved and worn by men and women alike. Though probably not to a festival. This new launch comes after the supermodel worked with Zara to design her own line of partywear ahead of the festive season last year. The collection boasted cape dresses and embellished bralettes, reminiscent of the early 90s. Describing her motivation behind the range, Moss said at the time: 'For this collection, I wanted to create the perfect party capsule - pieces that feel effortlessly chic but with an edge. Mixing classic cuts with just the right amount of glam to take you through the party season.' The glamorous 40-piece 'party capsule' collection was designed by herself, Marta Ortega Pérez, the chair of Inditex (which owns Zara), and her long-term collaborator and stylist Katy England. Fashion critics at the time praised the clothes for being 'timeless' and said that 'Christmas had come early'. The Mail's Shane Watson said: 'She knows how women want to feel at parties: not girly, not dressy, not done up to the nines, but confident, attractive, sexy, and always ALWAYS glamorous.' Many may also remember queuing for ages at the Topshop flagship store on Oxford Street in 2007, hoping to bag themselves something the icon had designed.

Thanks To Kate Moss, Your Fantasy Festival Wardrobe Is Now Within Reach
Among the thousands of famous photographs of Kate Moss, there's one that has come to be emblematic of several things at once: a sybaritic British summer, the early noughties boho aesthetic, the dawn of festival fashion, the supermodel's own inimitable style. She's walking through a field at Glastonbury in 2003, wearing a pale pink tunic dress with black fringed moccasin boots, a printed silk scarf knotted around her hips and her face semi-obscured by a combination of sunglasses and a curtain of dirty-blonde hair. 'I went to get some breakfast on my own,' Moss recalls of this Glasto outing. Jon Furniss The look pre-dated Instagram and influencers, and yet it had the sort of impact today's young tastemakers could scarcely dream of. Some 22 years on, now that festival wardrobes are curated with military precision and documented ad nauseam online, it's interesting to contemplate exactly how much thought went into Kate's oft-emulated outfit. Not a lot, it turns out. 'Planned outfits never work for me,' says Moss with a shrug. 'I don't do that.' She couldn't have known the clothes she threw together that year would ultimately become a sort of cultural touchstone, but she did get some inkling of the stir she'd created over the course of the weekend. 'I went to get some breakfast on my own, and there was one photographer,' she remembers of that morning outing in her pink dress. 'It wasn't a paparazzi-fest then.' The next day, a friend told her she'd made the papers. 'We'd gone to see Chas & Dave and he told me: 'You're on the cover of The Sunday Times,'' she says with her signature cackle. 'I was like, 'Don't be stupid!''
