Festival Dressing, The Dressing Room Way: Your Summer Festival-Ready Style Guide

With Glastonbury lighting up our social feeds this weekend, we thought it was the perfect time to round up our go-to festival dressing tips-Dressing Room style, of course. Whether you’re braving a full weekend of tents and tunes or just dipping into a day festival with the family, we’ve pulled together our ultimate guide packed with the must-have pieces and style hacks to keep you looking effortlessly cool.

All-in-Ones You’ll Love: Sorbet Island Swimsuits

Hear us out-swimwear at a festival? Absolutely. Sorbet Island’s colourful one-pieces aren’t just for poolside lounging. On those scorching summer days, they double perfectly as bodysuits. Simply throw on a pair of Paige denim shorts, and you’ve got a no-fuss, stylish outfit that keeps you cool, comfy and photo-ready. These swimsuits come in the dreamiest sorbet shades too, so you’ll stand out without even trying.

Laid-back Layers: Damson Madder

When it comes to relaxed festival vibes, Damson Madder has nailed it. Their oversized tees are ideal for chucking on over shorts or skirts, giving you that “borrowed-from-a-bandmate” feel with an elevated twist. Bonus points for the organic cotton and cool graphics.

And if you’re headed into typical British weather (read: unpredictable), their trench coat is your best friend. It’s lightweight enough to carry around, oversized enough to layer under, and cool enough to elevate even your simplest outfits. Think of it as your stylish armour against surprise showers.

Graphic Hits: Ganni Goodness

If festival style had a mascot, Ganni would be it. Known for their punchy prints and playful edge, Ganni’s graphic tees are a no-brainer for music-filled weekends. Pair with jeans or layer under a denim pinafore-you really can’t go wrong.

Oh, and don’t forget their leopard print baseball hat. It’s not only a practical must-have (hello sun protection), it adds that festival flair in the most effortless way.

Reliable Basics: American Vintage

Festivals call for strategic layering, and American Vintage comes through every time. From super-soft t-shirts and slouchy sweatshirts to lightweight gilets that won’t weigh you down, their range is perfect for building outfits that flex with the forecast.

A crisp white tee layered under a colourful gilet, topped off with sunnies and shorts? Instant festival uniform. And when the sun sets, a cosy sweatshirt will feel like a warm hug.

Festival-Ready Accessories

No outfit is complete without those finishing touches, and when it comes to festivals, accessories are where the magic happens. At festivals, jewellery is your chance to play. Mix and match Roxanne Assoulin’s rainbow beads with Mishky’s handwoven pieces for a fun, carefree vibe that screams summer. They’re lightweight, colourful, and won’t feel too precious if you're dancing your heart out in a crowd.

The Must-Haves:

Ortigia Hand Sanitiser – Because let’s be real, hygiene is a luxury at festivals. This one smells incredible and looks chic in your bag too

Woden Waterproof Boots – Comfy, cool, and rainproof. What more could you want when you're stomping through muddy fields?

AKjaerbede Sunglasses – Shield your eyes in style. These Scandi-cool frames are lightweight, practical and ultra-flattering.

Sui Ava Hair Clips – For when your hair’s doing its own thing, Sui Ava’s fun, colourful clips are lifesavers. Just twist, clip, done-you’ll look fresh even if you’ve missed your usual hair routine.

Festival dressing shouldn’t be complicated. Think lightweight layers, bold prints, and accessories that make you smile. Whether you're snapping pics by the stage, queuing for falafel, or hiding from the rain under a bucket hat, these pieces will keep you feeling your best-and looking even better.

Dressing Room style is all about feeling confident, comfy, and ready for whatever the weekend throws at you-be it sun, mud, or surprise headliners.
