Choose Headscarves Over Bucket Hats, SPF Over Glitter And 9 Other Swaps To Make For Glastonbury 2025
There's no one way to festival. Everyone has their preferences from camping to caravans, wellies to Wallabees. But, as to be expected, there are fresh fashion arrivals that place high on many shared sartorial agendas ahead of events like Glastonbury. Think about the explosion of popularity that has surrounded the bucket hat in recent years. If there's anyone that knows a thing or two about what to wear, pack, or bring to a festival its the ELLE editors who have, between them, attended hundreds of festivals. But, ask them what's on their festival shopping list and you might find it surprisingly short. We're less about buying new for the three-day affair, more into adapting what we already have with small style switch ups that we plan to wear long after the final headline act has done its encore. What's hot and what's not this festival season? After much discussion, the ELLE editors have put together the definitive list. Read on to find out. Sorry, bucket hats, your reign is over. This summer the easiest, chicest swap to make is to leave your hat at home and wear a silk scarf in its place. Or, do both and layer your baseball cap with a jaunty scarf. The choice of fashion girls and skincare obsessives alike. Denim shorts might be synonymous with festival fashion but there's no time like the present to switch them out for something a little lighter. Enter bloomers, like these from Reformation. As skimpy as their predecessors but in cotton fabrics to make for a lighter, less-chafey wear. Very darling. Tiny sunglasses have had their time. Those looking to amplify their look and sun protection this Glasto and beyond should choose supersized specs. These from Phoebe Philo are the blueprint. With warm weather expected, you can leave the Wellingtons at home to try something lighter over the weekend. The new trainer to know is the sneakerina, which for all its ballet shoe-cum-trainer hybridness makes for the perfect dancing shoe. Our festival favourites? These, for £38. As Cara confessed to ELLE UK just a few weeks ago, a Burberry kilt is going to be front and centre of her summer festival wardrobe. Pack away the slip dresses and have fun in a flirty little kilt instead. We know, we know. It's hardly breaking news that flower crowns have fallen out of vogue, but it's been some time since a contender for the same easy-to-wear, slightly dreamy add-on had been put forward. Fortunately, SS25's love of the chain belt (preferably numerous options layered) steps in just in time for festival season. Miu Miu and Rabanne have great options but so too will your favourite vintage store. There's nothing chicer than an honest, even glow that comes from protecting our skin year-round. Instead of piling on the glitter and gems, choose to swipe regular application of SPF instead. Supergoop's Everyday Sunscreen Stick makes this easy. Follow Miu Miu's lead and swap out a classic jersey hoodie for an equally cosy technical fleece this festival season. You don't need to spend £1.5k to get the look either. A trip to Mountain Warehouse awaits! Taking photos on a Polaroid doesn't only make for romantic shots of your festival experience, but it also stops you from spending any time at all on your phone. We've all gone to take a photo and ended up replying to an email or a text that could most definitely wait. Be in the moment with a little help from Polaroid. It has just released its smallest ever instant camera, too. Get up close and personal with the music without any of the ear damage by wearing a pair of Loop Earplugs, which will also come in handy when you finally do decide to get some sleep. The Experience 2 are best recommended for gigs, FYI. Keep that gut healthy when you're down on Worthy Farm. We're not saying you can't have a classic boozy festival beverage, but notice how better you'll feel for making a few swaps out here and there. Living Things are ELLE UK's favourite. Freelancer

Forget White Trainers – Every Fashion Person Is Only Wearing This Colour Now
The year is 2011. Phoebe Philo - fashion's messiah, quiet commander and Céline's creative director - is closing her show. But this time, the moment of impact isn't stitched into hemlines or cut into tailoring. It's walking out with her. As she takes her final bow, the designer steps out in a uniform that's become something of a cut in itself: skinny jeans, a roll-neck (hair tucked in - a noted Philo-ism), and a white, conspicuously unbothered pair of Adidas Stan Smiths. Within a few moments, the groundwork had been laid for what was set to become the bestselling trainer of the last decade. Phoebe Philo at the Celine Autumn/Winter '11 show. ©Getty What followed was a golden age of '70s sneaker renaissance: an era of trainers that looked as if they might have belonged to the cooler sibling in a Wes Anderson film. The fashion set, Victoria Beckham, Raf Simons - and Philo again in 2014 - all stealthily contributed to the rise of the retro trainers, legitimising them in virtually every setting, with the exception, perhaps, of global politics. (Justin Trudeau, we're looking at you). Fast forward to now, and the retro sneaker hype hasn't lost its footing. If anything, it's sprinting ahead: take Wales Bonner's bonafide collaboration with Adidas, for example, which continues to sell out on sight, or look at the craze caused by Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico trainers. We've seen so many Stan Smith revivals or sportswear brands reissuing iconic styles from their archives (hello, Puma Speed Cats). Dries Van Noten has created vintage-inspired trainers, which are a masterclass in scarcity marketing, and if you're reading this, chances are that you, too, own a pair of Adidas Sambas - whether they're still in or not. The point is, retro trainers are the piece of footwear to which we'll never want to say goodbye. But in 2025, there's a notable caveat: all-white kicks no longer make the cut. Call it the limit of ubiquity, their cool having fallen victim to the trends inflation rate, or the fact that they have suffered death by repetition on mums at the school gate (and the cropped, skinny trousers and ankle socks combo didn't help). But, a piece of good news, the industry's tastemakers are switching things up. And if Philo were to give her stamp of approval today? Chances are, it would go to pale yellow sneakers. Already shot out into the mainstream by hamstring-bracing shorts king, Harry Styles, who wore Prada's skinny sole, collapsible heel style out for a stroll this summer, the sunshine-bright shoes aren't hard to find. Loewe's cult-y On collaboration brought forth a pair that fashion editors have bookmarked and backordered. Maison Margiela's newly-launched 'Sprinters' have arrived in a beige-could-be-sun-bleached-yellow colourway, and as for 'The Tennis' by Jacquemus in suede lemon sorbet? Practically extinct in popular sizes. From L-R: Jacquemus' The Tennis trainers; Loewe X On Cloudventure 2.0 trainers So, what's the takeaway? A happy trainer equals a happy life? Maybe. Or, perhaps, the trend pendulum has swung and we've temporarily eschewed white trainers for something with a bit more character until the oversaturated stampede of alpina white shoes has died down again. Either way, if you're contemplating a trainer upgrade this summer, might we gently suggest opting for a dopamine-inducing shot of colour for your feet? Scroll on to shop our favourite pairs below. 1.

In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, Rosie opened up about her post-partum figure and told how her body has changed over time. Rosie and Jason share two children together - Jack Oscar, seven, and Isabella James, three. She explained: 'You've aged, you've stretched, things are not sitting where they used to. After both babies, it took two years to feel fully back to normal, and even then it's not really normal, is it?' Rosie went on to suggest that she wouldn't have it any other way as she told how life is 'too short'. She added: 'My twenties were fun, but then you get older, wiser and a little more roughed up. S**t happens. Being a mum is challenging.

Phoebe Philo guest edits FT's HTSI luxury magazine
Phoebe Philo is the guest editor of this weekend's (3 May) edition of the Financial Times luxury lifestyle magazine HTSI (or How To Spend It). It's a rare head-above-the-parapet moment for a designer not known for her publicity-generating activities and comes as her still-young own label continues its series of discreet ultra-luxury launches. Speaking about the issue, she said: 'The people I have chosen to feature in this magazine are all passionately dedicated to their vocation. They are people whom I admire for their talent, their knowledge, their discipline, their complexity and their distinctive expertise.' So who are those people? They include artist Andrea Fraser who 'performs a Phoebe Philo look' on the cover. She was photographed for the cover by Talia Chetrit and interviewed by Sarah Thornton. Then there's curator Koyo Kouoh, who speaks with Charlene Prempeh for the Aesthete interview. It means that despite the celebrity designer link-up, the magazine clearly isn't going down a populist route. Philo added: 'With so much of our collective experience and social interaction reliant on a digital culture, clothes, for me, represent almost the polar opposite. Clothes are tactile, emotionally resonant, personal and, on so many levels, anything but remote. And HTSI editor Jo Ellison said: 'Phoebe's vision is unique and hugely influential. It has been a privilege to collaborate with her on this issue of HTSI and give our readers a rare insight into the people and ideas that interest her.'
