A WINDBREAKER IS THE ULTIMATE PLUS-ONE THIS FESTIVAL SEASON

 Peer around any street corner and you’re sure to see and windbreaker paired with capri pants and heels. This high-low look doesn’t lend itself to festival season, but swap the shoes for trainers and you’ve got a casual formula that celebrates two of fashion’s current fixations: cropped trousers and funnel-neck jackets. Capri leggings are a great choice if you’re focused on comfort, and the simple design looks effortless in that distinctly festival way. No matter how many hours you spend dancing in a field, this outfit will look intentional till the very last set.

Lace-trimmed satin shorts are another summer staple we’ve been tapping, balancing feminine textures with sporty silhouettes. The delicate fabrication is a perfect match for rugged windbreakers – and creates a great canvas for fun colour blocking. Try pairing a blue jacket with black shorts and colourful Nike Air Rifts to make an easy statement. Finish with wrap-around sunglasses for extra festival edge.

Easy outfit formulas are a festival must – especially if you’re heading away for several days. This windbreaker co-ord from Topshop shoulders all the effort, with cute micro shorts and a matching oversized jacket. This is top-heavy in the best way, finished in a satin twill fabric that brings an elevated energy to the sporty silhouette. Chocolate brown – they could never make us hate you. And this set proves it. The perfect base for statement accessories, colourful finishes and the wildest sunglasses you can find.

In the business of windbreaker dressing, nothing achieves that coveted contrast like a skirt and jacket combo. Festivals might not be the place for a floaty maxi skirt, but that’s no reason to shun your feminine pieces. Grungy, off-kilter silhouettes are a great match for muddy fields, so think tartan wrap skirts or itty-bitty minis layered with long-sleeve shirts. Anything that feels as haphazard as your early-hours dancing is a good thing.

If you’ve left your outfit planning to the last minute (or woken on day three of a festival with less than minimal forethought in the tank), a pair of adidas shorts will never serve you wrong. The classic 3-stripes make light work of your favourite windbreaker. If you’ve got a unique jacket in your arsenal, consider pulling it out for this look. The casual shorts create an low-effort base for more intricate details, so you can fool your fellow campmates into thinking you’re feeling as fresh as you look.
