THE UNCONVENTIONAL FESTIVAL STYLE GUIDE

Expressing yourself through fashion and style while allowing yourself to relax and take in the energetic atmosphere. Anything goes fashion. That’s what festivals are all about.

This isn't your average Festival Style Guide because firstly, it isn't a guide at all. Since I started attending festivals my perception on the do's and don'ts has shifted. It was always your typical denim hot pants with some sort of sparkly top with a bandana wrapped around a limb of your choice. The Standard Festival Look 101. Suddenly you realise, you're just more of the same and who wants that?

Festivals are the best because you can't control anything. It is the ultimate "anything goes" chaos and you have to embrace it. It is a be yourself environment, whether that is through fashion or your weird dance moves. The weirder the better actually. As long as you are embracing who you are and showing your individuality, you're in for the best experience.

Which brings me onto the style. For this shoot, I've tried to stay away from the High Street. It's all too easy to click onto High Street websites and venture to their "Festival-Ready" section which I can assure you, millions of other people are doing. Everything you see is available from local businesses here in NI. (Ok - except for one or two pieces but we'll look past that). Vintage & Bespoke Clothing Accessories. Something to inspire your own creativity and style. Love, N. xo
