Festival Fits

Festival Fits




Don’t know what to wear for your upcoming festival or concert? Here’s what’s trending and some easy suggestions:


Trending now:


Prints and patterns currently in the spotlight this summer include: gingham, as well as sequins largely incorporated into slouchy garments (e.g. cowl neckline tops), leopard print, and metallic garments alongside many others.


Actual clothing items in the current trend cycle include micro shorts, knee high boots, cowboy boots, and hooded tops to name a few. 


Still don’t know what to wear?


Here’s some outfit ideas if you’re really stuck, using items that are popular in everyone’s wardrobe:


  • Layering! Incorporate some 2000s styles by layering vest tops alongside a pair of shorts
  • Scarf tops: there are a multitude of ways to style scarf tops using any scarves you may have
  • Go for the classic bralette and shirt on top, so many girls wear this as a festival staple each year nowadays
  • Skirts skirts skirts! So many fabrics, so many lengths, go for a maxi or mini to lean into the ‘boho chic’ style which makes an appearance every year — if you feel nervous about wearing a mini, try opting for a skort instead! Or wear shorts underneath 
  • Go for a basic outfit but just accessorise A LOT! Layer necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or throw a fun belt on to play around with styles
  • Crochet has made a name for itself in festival styles in the past few years, so wear a crochet statement piece to make your outfit more exciting 



Notes:


  • As cute as the cowboy boots are, if they’re precious to you and you don’t want to run the risk of ruining them, wear a pair of old trainers instead 
  • Bum bags are one of the easiest bags to bring, not too big, but carries the perfect amount of all you really need: phone, money and some lipgloss
  • Careful for wearing anything that might catch onto something, whether it’s a barrier or another person e.g. hoops in clothes/accessories

The rebrand of Southern and Eastern Asian culture into mainstream fashion

How have we become so focused on personal style but can’t seem to appreciate authenticity? I thought I’d turn my screen time into something more productive with this blog, and discuss one conversation I’ve seen across social media these past few weeks: how Asian culture has once again been rebranded in the West, this time in clothing. This blog will focus predominantly on examples from Southern to Eastern Asia.   I was recently looking for a dress for a formal event, and came across loads with a matching scarf or shawl, draped in various ways across the model’s décolletage. After having seen Lady Diana’s 1987 Blue dress at Cannes film festival, I had always loved the style.  So after further research, my algorithm had identified my interest in it and pushed more options to me, including discussions surrounding it. I hadn’t realised this was a ‘trend of the summer’ so was amidst heated discussions online.  The trending scarf, or as some had inaccurately labelled it ‘Scandi...

You are what you wear: our growing absence of awareness

  I really struggled with coming up with a topic for this month’s post. I was so focused on finding a ‘summer’ piece, but struggled to find much substance in a lot of the topics I initially tried to write about.  This post was inspired by a repost of my mutuals ‘talklacemagazine’ (instagram) and ‘cutipiekitties’ (TikTok) of a video by ‘e.cxhi’ on TikTok about how wearing Vivienne Westwood is innately anti-government. Since writing my piece on ‘Politics in Polyester’, I’ve been involved in more conversations about politics in the fashion industry and so thought it’d be interesting to take the same topic in a slightly different route.  I’m sure we’ve all seen behind the scenes filming of The Devil Wears Prada 2,    and in this conversation I can’t help but think of that scene in the original where Miranda’s team are choosing between two ‘identical’ belts according to Andy. Miranda then proceeds to critique Andy on her ‘choice’ of sweater that arguably wasn’t her o...

Corporate Core: The Romanticism of the Working Girl

Image
As people head back to school or work this September, there’s a flurry for new wardrobes, new looks, and new stationary to accessorise your ‘upgraded self’. This was always an unspoken thing each year, like clockwork, in whatever way possible, girls would ‘upgrade’ their working self. Because as Edith Head said, “You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it”. But now, we see this becoming an actively advertised attitude towards young women. We see it in the bayonetta glasses, the wine red kitten heels and the grey pinstripe suits, redefining the items that were often left untouched in Zara’s sales before.   So why have we glorified the everyday?   It’s no secret that this conversation is largely centred around working women, so for the majority of this piece, that is who this conversation will be on.  I asked my followers on instagram what they thought of trends such as the ‘office siren’ and received a mix in responses.  One said “I think tha...
