After a two-year hiatus, we were more excited than ever to see what the stylish Glastonbury-goers were wearing, and as always, Alexa Chung has nailed it. Styling a vibrant blue dress from Pleats Please Issey Miyake, a Barbour jacket and Saint Laurent lace-up boots, Chung proved that festival style in a shopping-conscious era is all about hardworking pieces that can go from tent to dinner party and beyond.
For years, festival dressing has stood apart as its own fashion category. But with more of us looking to invest in clothes that we will wear for years to come, festival fashion is looking a little different for 2022. Gone are the days of buying outfits that will work for three days of mud and music. Festival style icons—our favourites being Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller—are showcasing outfits that are just as chic in a field as they are on city streets.
