If you're lucky enough to be heading over to Worthy Farm this month, we bow down to your superlative ticket-securing skills.
Glastonbury, aka the crème de la crème of the UK festival season, is set to be another spectacular occasion in 2024. Having announced their headlining acts of Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA, we couldn't be more envious.
What to wear to a Music Festival?
An event of this calibre requires some major sartorial forethought, and we've got you covered. Suffice to say, over the years the OG Glasto girlies (Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and the like) have provided us with a wealth of outfit inspiration. Disc belts at the ready. But we cater for a broad range of archetypes here at Hello! Fashion. If the 'Quiet Luxury' trend is more your vibe, turn to minimalist investment labels such as Stella McCartney, Chloé and Ganni for a whisper of Glasto elegance, or if you're on the hunt for some ultra-glam partywear, check out Farm Rio and House of Sunny.
Glastonbury is known for its unpredictable weather and diverse fashion, so it's important to be prepared for various conditions while expressing your unique style. If you are in need of inspiration we have listed the most iconic fashion looks of all time to help you. Remember to check the weather forecast closer to the date to fine-tune your packing.

What are the Music Festival essentials?
Here are some essentials to consider...
Footwear: Waterproof boots or wellies for mud and rain, Kate Moss in her Hunter wellies is an iconic fashion moment for a reason. Comfortable sneakers or walking shoes for dry conditions.
Clothing: Lightweight, breathable clothes like t-shirts, shorts, and dresses for warm weather. Layers such as hoodies, sweaters, and long-sleeve shirts for cooler evenings. Waterproof jacket or poncho in case of rain, a cool-girl Barbour a-la Alexa Chung is a classic. Festival-friendly accessories like hats, sunglasses, and bandanas.
Accessories: A crossbody bag, or bum-bag for your daily essentials.
The Extras: A reusable water bottle. Sunscreen and hats for sun protection. Comfortable socks and a few extra pairs in case they get wet. A blanket or ground sheet to sit on. Fun festival accessories like glitter, face paint, or costume pieces if you enjoy dressing up.

9 Glastonbury Outfit Ideas:
The Nostalgic British It-Girl
No prizes for guessing who inspired this look. Noughties fashion icon Alexa Chung used Glastonbury as her personal runway, and we are still reeling from the level of quintessential Britishness. Attend the festival without a pair of classic Hunter wellies at your own risk.

The 'Quiet Luxury' girlie
Lovers of the 'Quiet Luxury' aesthetic – we take it you're a Glasto first-timer? While festivals don't exactly scream perennial chic, it's still perfectly possible to exude polish. Opt for a classic white dress and probably give the mosh pit a calculated swerve.
