The five festival fashion trends you need to know for 2025
As festival season approaches, the Glastonbury lineup isn't the only hot topic; festival fashion is also a key point of discussion. While some trends, like Hunter wellies and denim shorts, reappear annually, festival style has evolved significantly since the pandemic. Comfort and everyday trends are now widely embraced. Whether navigating muddy fields or dancing at a day festival, celebrity stylists offer their predictions for this year's top festival trends. 1. Boho chic Boho has been back for a while, and while it may be petering out on the high-street, this year's festivals are the perfect places to sport it. "I love how boho has had a huge revival and in perfect timing for festival season," says celebrity stylist Ellis Ranson. "Think the Chloé runway meets mud and fields. Crochet dresses, fringing, earthy tones - Vanessa Hudgens is your go-to for inspo." Bohemian style has drifted in and out of the fashion spotlight since its heyday in the free-spirited Seventies - but it truly caught fire again in the early 2000s, when icons like Sienna Miller and the Olsen twins made it their signature, teaming floaty blouses with oversized belts and studded boots. Boho chic The trend has never been so fitting for festivals - just look at Kate Moss and Miller's Noughties Glastonbury looks. Stylist Sian Clarke in partnership with Michael Kors, confirms that the boho trend is here to stay, noting an 83% spike in search interest. "Crochet is super versatile," she says. "Consider styling a crochet halter neck with denim shorts and cowboy boots for warmer festival days." From floaty co-ords to stitched accessories, this trend is easy and effortless. 2. Nineties jorts While boho chic may be evoking the 2000s, the rise of baggy jorts - or jean shorts - is throwing festival fashion back to the Nineties. "We are seeing a rise in the new summer staple, the jort," says Ranson, "yes, the longline short, which is actually a great style for every body type, so that's a win for any stylist." Whether DIY'd from an old pair of Levi's or sourced from a beloved vintage shop, the jort is a festival staple teamed with a tank and trainers for a cool but comfy look. 3. Utility core Another trend offering a more laid-back look in comparison to boho chic is utility core. "Comfort is key, we aren't here for being in pain for fashion when it comes to festival fun," says Ranson, "oversized cargo pants, waistcoats, Timberlands, desert neutrals [are all the rage]." Utility core is like a combination of Lara Croft and Euphoria, taking functional silhouettes and pairing them with suede or metallic finishes and face gems. Having a neutral base and layering with gems and jewellery is an easy festival look that doesn't require much thought - especially if you're on day three. 4. Disco cowboy While cowboy boots were in last summer, this season the 'disco cowboy' is making waves with metallic fringe and studded Western boots. "Cowboy boots make everything look cool," says Ranson, "Even if you are wearing a vest and denim shorts they can completely elevate your look." And if you're facing unpredictable weather - which is likely during a UK festival - they're a great pick. "Cowboy boot wellies have emerged from the western trend," says Clarke. "These hybrid heroes give you the best of both worlds: practical for being weatherproof wellingtons and in trend." Metallics are the cherry on top. With searches for 'metallic and fringe jackets' up by 69%, they're clearly the after-dark must-have. "If you have a plainer, more subtle outfit on, throw on a metallic jacket to give it some more personality," says Clarke. Or equally, opting for metallic boots or a bag can spice up your outfit for a festival. 5. Timeless vintage This year more than ever, festival goers are leaning into vintage gems. "A main shift I would say is it being more about vintage finds," says Ranson. "A vintage band tee is an easy safe option, teamed with a floaty skirt, fringed denim, or a dress over the top. "It can work through any trend, year after year." Layered jewellery and a solid pair of retro trainers - a nod to the F1 trend - can give any outfit the edge it needs. The key to making vintage look good is balancing your look. So if you're going for an oversized T-shirt or jacket, pair it with a smaller bottom silhouette. Clarke says micro shorts are a key base for vintage looks: "As cow and snake are the prints of the summer season, pair micro shorts with standout pieces like a cow-print crop top or snake-print jacket."

New to thrift shopping? These thrift secrets will change your closet forever
If you think thrifting is just about grandma's cardigans and mystery stains, think again. Thrifting today is part treasure hunt, part eco-rebellion, and full of personality. If you're diving into a vintage store in Hyderabad or scoring a Levi's jacket from a WhatsApp group, these secondhand steals are anything but second best. Ready to thrift like a pro and embrace sustainable fashion? Here are 8 smart thrifting tips by Ritika Chawla who is an environment enthusiast, and walks the low-waste talk. Beyond physical stores, check Instagram sellers and WhatsApp groups—some of the best pieces live online. Pages update fast, so turn post notifications on for your favourite sellers. And don't be shy—DMs are where all the real action happens. Clothes swap events and community thrift days (like those by The Shift) are goldmines and promote sustainable fashion too. Hit up Gaia Living in Hyderabad, Rethought in Delhi, Closet Cleanse in Mumbai—and yes, international stores have crazy deals on high-end stuff too. Shopping online? Always check measurements and DM sellers for defect details. Most are transparent—just ask nicely. Remember: It's better to ask now than regret it later. It's secondhand—bargaining isn't rude, it's expected. Be sweet, not stingy, and you might score it cheaper. Many sellers are open to giving bundle discounts or waiving shipping. Just don't lowball disrespectfully—it's a vibe killer. A good wash is all you need. Ghosts don't live in clothes. Use a gentle detergent and add vinegar if you're feeling fancy. Secondhand doesn't mean second-best—it just needs a spin. Thrift stores rarely stock lehengas or shararas. For those, renting is your eco-friendly fairy godmother, it saves space and money. Plus, you won't have to worry about dry-cleaning that 10kg dupatta. Love a piece but it's a bit loose? A nip and tuck, and it's yours; fitted, flattering, and fabulous. A small tweak can take an "okay" outfit to "wow, where'd you get that?!" Also consider upcycling—turn a kurta into a crop top, why not? Trade clothes with friends and cousins. Hand-me-downs are a sustainable badge of honour, not a downgrade. After all, fashion isn't about owning more—it's about owning better. Thrifting is a conscious, cool, and creative way to shop. It reduces waste, saves money, and adds serious flair to your wardrobe. So next time you crave a closet refresh, skip the mall. Go thrifting and welcome sustainable fashion with open arms. Your planet—and your wallet will thank you.

A cheapskate's guide to drying your washing in winter
Enough staring at the clothes horse, wishing things were dry. It's with the best intentions that we wash and hang up our clothes in June (and July and August). But intentions are not enough to make it work. For weeks now, everyone without a dryer or a nice big dry home has been smelling funny because our washing never quite dried, got rained on and then never quite dried again. It's time to enlist more strategies in our laundry routines. Here are my top tips. Does it really need to get wet? Don't come at me with labels like stinky malinki, but it needs to be said. Apart from undies, you don't need to wash your clothes every time you wear them – especially the ones that don't touch your skin. Levi's recommends washing jeans every 10 wears, and I think other clothes only need to be washed if you spill food on them or if they smell. I'd venture to say woollen jumpers almost never need to be washed, especially if they are actually wool. Sheep make an excrement called lanolin, which coats wool and is anti-microbial. There's huge power in simply airing clothes out. If there's a day you're 100% sure it's not going to rain, you could put them outside, but usually I prefer to drape them artfully over every piece of furniture in my lounge. Vodka babyyyyyyy My T-shirt fucking stinks, you might say – maybe you had a meeting with your boss and that anxiety super-stench came pouring out of your pores. Well, might I suggest vodka. The Russian ballet costume department's secret does not need to stay in the ballet world. Simply fill up a spray bottle of vodka and spray the stink away. It really works, and on shoes too. Whip out the synthetics Now I would never suggest buying clothes made out of plastic – it is bad for the number of microplastics in your home and therefore you, bad for the environment, bad bad bad. But let's be real, we don't need to buy them, they're already in the drawers. Synthetic clothing dries WAY faster than some natural fabrics like cotton, due to the fact you might crudely describe it as plastic, a non-absorbent material. Now is the time to wear all your polyester, polar fleece and polyprops. Spin out OK you've worn your synthetics until they've acquired a little patina of life on them, perhaps you've oversprayed the vodka and friends are worried about your drinking habits. It is time to wash now. Let the machine do its thing, and then make it do another thing. Pop on an extra spin cycle. Centrifugal force really does separate liquid from solid, water from clothes. Spread out Like a man on the subway, your washing needs air inbetween its bits. Spread it out over the rack and try to minimise any fabric doubling up. You might even consider doing small loads or buying an extra rack so that there's plenty of space. Forget the outside world Perhaps you have been extremely diligent and checked not only the weather forecast for the day you put your washing out, but also the two following days. The weather app may have shown a sun, or just a little cloud so you think you're safe. This is not so. Rain will come. Or even if rain does not come, the washing will not dry because it's too cold. In my experience you should only leave washing outside for the first drying day. When the sun is about to set, that's as much as you're going to get out there. Sacrifice your interior design, bring the rack in. The sauna Put your washing in the smallest room of the house – ideally this will be a bathroom with an extraction fan – and lock it in there with a dehumidifier on a warming high setting. Then set aside 40-50% of your paycheck to pay for the power bill. If you need to relax you could hang out in there too. Utilise hour of power, power shout and off-peak rates If you're with Electric Kiwi or Genesis Energy, you get one free off-peak hour of power each day. Other providers usually have lower rates at off-peak times (overnight). Obviously this is the time you will be turning on your washing machine, dishwasher and heated towel rack. It is also the time that your heat pump can turn whatever room it's in into a dryer. Ramp up the heat and put your rack of washing underneath. If you don't have a heat pump, a hairdryer or fan heater will work about 20% as well. Make sure you set an alarm on your phone for the END of the free hour of power because boy oh boy, we do not want to be paying for the 30-degree breeze. The impossibles For bedding, towels and hoodies there's no alternative in winter. You need a dryer. The best thing to do is wash a few loads of the impossibles at home, gather them all up and head to the giant dryers at the local self-service laundromat. It might cost you $10, but it will be worth it. Some things I do not endorse To finish, a series of warnings. Firstly, wrapping your washing in a dry towel (if you have one) results in your towel getting wet. Secondly, yes laundromats can be good. But if you can wash at home and only dry there you will save yourself time and money. Good luck, friends.
