What to Wear to Reading & Leeds Festival

25 – 27 August 2023

If you’re after a lively weekend of music (Billie Eilish, Imagine Dragons and Lewis Capaldi are all playing this year), get yourself a ticket to either Reading or Leeds Festival. Because you’ll be camping (or perhaps glamping), dancing in close crowds and probably battling some inherently British weather fronts, your best bet is opting for a practical wardrobe, clothes that can be easily layered up in the event of a chill or pared back if the sun warms up. It's also your chance to dive head-first into the revival of 90s fashion, so try Tach Clothing's Loreza Knitted Top, £145 (a cropped knit you’ll love for years) with AGOLDE's Parker Long Shorts, £180.

What to Wear to BBC Proms

14 July - 9 September 2023

With a schedule of over 80 concerts held (mostly) at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall, the Proms is famed for its grandeur and opulence. What better excuse to really dress up? And by dressing up, we mean going all-out, with a statement dress like Sleeper's Boheme Midi Dress, £300, a slip that comes trimmed with tonal ostrich feathers. Team it with A.P.C.'s Grace Baguette Chain Shoulder Bag, £600 and Missoma's Interstellar Drop Choker Necklace, £105 for peak glamour.

What to Wear to RHS Flower Show Tatton Park

19 – 23 July 2023

A paradise of technicoloured blooms and innovative garden designs, the RHS flower show in Tatton Park is a favourite for the green-fingered among us. If you’re attending, why not lean into the theme, and bring a few florals into your outfit choices? We’d suggest Liberty's Evabelle Tana Lawn™ Cotton Gala Maxi Dress, £350; with 70s’ inspired fluted sleeves and decorated with a vibrant array of flowers, it’s just the thing to pair with a basket bag like Chloé's Marcie Cross-body Basket Bag, £690 and a wide-brimmed sun hat like Maison N.H Paris' Michelle Wide Brim Raffia Hat, £170.

But with stages dotted all over Edinburgh, your outfits needs to be comfortable and travel-friendly. Might we suggest FARM Rio's Off-White Tropical Life Shirt, £175 and AGOLDE's Hilla Practice Maxi-Skirt, £260 for comfort that also feels chic?

What to Wear to Goodwood Revival

8 – 10 September 2023

It may be the festival for motorcar enthusiasts, but Goodwood Revival draws in a diverse crowd of all kinds of vintage lovers. Capturing the sights and sounds of the 40s, 50s and 60s, ticket holders can expect races between rare and priceless cars, fine dining and famous faces from the world of motorsport. Then there’s the fashion which, as you might imagine, is all about old-school finery. To emulate, look for something that exudes old-school elegance like KITRI's Pia Lilac Stripe Tie Front Dress, £170, accessorised with an art deco Monica Vinader 18ct Gold Plated Vermeil Sterling Silver Necklace, £95 - in your own initial, of course.
