Top fashion blogger Supermarket Sarah takes us through the festival season's key trends
1. 80s Anoraks
Your mum is actually right when she says you always need an anorak. Try a secondhand store like Rokit and expect to pay about �25.
2. Animal Hoods
This Japanese trend has now hit the UK. These hoods are handmade by Merrimaking, and there are all sorts of animals available. Get one for �29.99 from Supermarket Sarah at Selfridges.
3. 70s Kaftans
Hippie chic is always a good festival look. Try vintage stores such as Anton Spreckley Vintage in Brighton, and expect to pay about �65.
4. The Dandy look
Chivalry is back, boys. Get yourself a striped blazer and a vintage trilby or a nautical cap. Trawl the vintage stores or try The Dispensary in Kensington, London.
5. Hot, bright colours
At festivals, bright colours are a must so your friends can find you in a crowd. This vintage skirt is a great example, or try French Connection for hot pinks, and Cos for neon yellow.
6. Slogan tees
Declare your allegiance with a slogan tee. This Peckham vest is �25 by Garudio Studiage.
7. Fantastical props
A great way to mark your campsite. This Clash Mash Guitar is �50, by Georgina Bacchus ? alternatively, make your own using materials from nonstopparty.co.uk.
8. Big Brooches
Tatty Devine has some great examples, including this banana brooch (left breast pocket) for �45. The ice-cream brooch is available from Supermarket Sarah at Selfridges for �6.50.
9. Ruffs
Ruffled party collars will give you an instant Elizabethan dandy/ rock'n'roll look. This one's by Caroline Goffey, priced at �35.
10. Fast-food bags
Keep your essentials waterproof in of these striking vinyl handbags. Hot dogs and chicken legs also available! �35, by Garudio Studiage.
11. Tasselled flip flops
Ditch the Havaianas for these colourful slippers, which are �50 by Amanda Luisa.
12. Knitted skirts/bikinis
New-age traveller chic is creeping back into fashion ? the jury's still out on dreads, though.
13. Flip-up sunglasses
Festival weather is notoriously unpredictable ? flip-up shades cater for both sun and cloud. These ones are �27.50 by Cheapo, available from Supermarket Sarah at Selfridges.
14. Leather utility belts
The ultimate bum bags. Free yourself up to dance by wearing your handbag round your waist. �150 by Judy Deleeuw.
15. Tie-dye tees
Tie-dye is another hardy festival trend that refuses to die. This tee is �22 by Georgina Bacchus.
16. Feather headdresses
Festivals are all about daft headwear. This gold headdress is �15, also by Georgina Bacchus
