Our inspiration
Pair up in pretty dresses. Cut-outs and knot details make for great summer style. Add chunky boots or wellies, statement jewellery and something in your hair and you're set to watch the sun go down in style.

Noel Gallagher brought the sleek menswear look at Glastonbury this year. A zip up bomber jacket is a great way to look cool while sticking to a classic, flattering style. With a white tee and jeans, you can't go wrong for a simple, laidback luxe kind of look without any hassle.

Looking back at Reading and Leeds Festival, this couple dressed the part in their band tees teamed with easy denim shorts and a leopard midi skirt with a side split. Get the look with our men's denim shorts and this women's skirt.

For the music loving men
Easy does it! And, it really does. You can't go wrong at a festival with a comfortable practical outfit so a staple pair of cotton cargo shorts will do the trick. Add a print for a pop of personality and make sure to pack your sunnies and a cap. We love some form of floral print shirt to bring the festival fun to the dancefloor.

Ladies who love music
Festival fashion has no limits for the ladies. Be inspired by crochet, dolled up in denim and head to toe floral, whatever your vibe, find your favourite festival styles at Threadbare. From linen look shirts to midi skirts galore, you can even team a colour pop blazer wih a pair of denim shorts for an off-duty yet super stylish outfit that's sure to turn heads!

One of our block colour shirts are the perfect option for a festival. Be like Jessie Ware and opt for an easy oversized look. Paired with jeans or denim shorts (weather depending!), they're a simple yet effortless look. Add a chain and your trust bumbag and you're ready to fit the field and boogie!
Don't forget the kids!
Some festivals more than others cater for little ones. As very much a family festival, Glastonbury has so much to offer the kids! It's so important that they're just as kitted out and prepared for every eventuality.

Threadgirls' raincoats
We definitely recommend getting your hands on a printed mac. A raincoat is an absolute must at a British festival (especially in the summer!), and we have just a few that we are sure they will love.
Microfleece linings will keep them snug and the bold prints will inspire them to be creative and have fun. They can express their personalities in our range of statement macs. From florals to tie dye to block colour options, they can choose the raincoat that expresses their style the best. Look good, feel good.

Kit them out with a jogger set that will be practical in the evening to keep warm, and one of our colour pop raincoats just in case! Our funky shirts are fun for daytime wear and zip up hoodies make great companions on temperature-changing days.
SPOTTED!!!
