5 BANK HOLIDAY LOOKS FOR EVERY FESTIVAL-GOER

The dance tent is where you'll find hardcore ravers and perpetual party girls – they know the recipe for a good time, after all. For your 'fit to keep up, we recommend looking to the clubbing capital of the world – Berlin – for inspiration. Your FYP might be full of people showcasing their Berghain and Tresor outfits, with two common threads running through: denim and black. Go for a black bralette and jorts, then layer Topshop's tunic over the top. It's hand-embellished with gunmetal beads that'll catch the light in the darkened tent. Ground the look with chunky biker boots in – what else? Black.

Topshop premium hand embellished tunic top in gun metal silver, £120

adidas Training nylon shoulder bag in burgundy, £23

Bershka Biker boot with buckles in black, £69.99

ARKET loose fit denim shorts in lightwash blue, £65

The luxury yurt? Booked. Gourmet street food? Already sussed out. You're the kind of festival VIP who likes the finer things in life. Think Lioness' ASOS-exclusive zebra-print barrel-leg jeans, an investment pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses and a classic denim jacket – now you're ready to haunt the backstage area. In fact, you're so sure that your feet won't touch mud that you've brought fresh white trainers – adidas Originals' lo-pro Tokyos, no less – to finish your look.

The main event on the UK social calendar is Notting Hill Carnival – a three-day celebration of music, dance and Caribbean culture. If you can't get to London, there are plenty of other street parties to get on board with. This green crochet dress could be styled several different ways, depending on your plans. Only out for the afternoon? Think Birkenstocks. If you're committed to the whole day, pick boho cowboy boots and an oversized leather belt, or get into the 90s with Dr. Martens' Buzz shoes and a bandana.

Reclaimed Vintage crochet knit mini dress in peppermint, £28.99

ASOS DESIGN pointelle long socks in cream, £6

Dr Martens Buzz 5 eye floral embossed shoes in dark brown, £150

There's always that one friend in the group who refuses to festival-proof their 'fit, preferring to wear their usual going-out clothes. Just one important addition: wellies. We're a big fan of this particular pair from Hunter because of all the boxes it ticks – the heritage brand, the cowboy shape and the glossy red finish. Otherwise, this look includes this season's must-haves: an oversized bomber jacket and a vibrant turquoise slip skirt.

GET THE LOOK: 

Topshop bomber mandarin collar jacket in black, £75

DesignB London flower stud earrings in gold, £8
Hunter Original cowboy wellington boot in red gloss, £125
ASOS DESIGN 90's slip skirt in turquoise satin, £28

If you're a festival newbie who's been waiting for a reason to jump in, the bank holiday is it. The perfect sartorial entry point? A track top and shorts – this dynamic duo is comfy, versatile and easy to throw on. A festival, however, calls for trackies with a twist. Go for unexpected patterns and textures, and don't be afraid to mix and match. An easy way to master the look is by sticking to the same colour family. These adidas snake-print shorts and crocheted track top are perfectly mismatched, but the neutral colour palette pulls everything together. Finish the look with another festival classic – cowboy boots.

GET THE LOOK: 
adidas Originals crochet track top in brown, £75
Topshop Dezi semi precious cluster earring in orange, £16
DIA Studios Cowboy western boots in light brown faux suede, £80
adidas Originals satin shorts in light brown snake, £35
