New Look Wireless Festival Fashion Guide: From Sequined Bumbags To Feathered Headgear
We’re almost half way through the festival season, we’ve seen flares at Coachella, fringing at Glastonbury and embroidery at Blissfields, but now it’s time for New Look’s Wireless Festival.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to don crazy head wear - although we’re rather partial - or a pair of bum-scraping shorts. We scoured the web (and a few Pinterest boards, of course) to bring you the best festival fashion ahead of NL Wireless, so all you need to do know is brush up on your lyrics and have yourself a good time.

Fun With Fringing

Feeling brave and want to make an entrance? Then you need to get yourself some tassels. Fellow Girl On The Ground Naomi has paired suede tassels with a bohemian frock for the perfect festival power pair.
If you’re looking for something a bit more modern, try a suede fringe jacket with a pair of denim cut-offs.
Top Picks
1. New Look Black Suede Stud Fringed Trim Boots (£59.99), 2. Missguided Fringe Vest (£22.00) 3. Missguided Faux Suede Biker Jacket (£40.00) 4. New Look Black Tassel Backpack (£22.99),
Bohemian Smocks

Smocks that even Florence herself would be proud of, this is possibly one of the easiest trends to try. All you need is the dress (Beyond Retro always has a killer selection), some long necklaces and a pair of ankle boots and you’re ready to unleash your inner inebriated 70s hippy.
And if It’s raining, well duh, it’s England - of course it is! Like Leigh, pair it with some fancy wellies (bonus points if they’re gold!)
Trial The Trend
Jacket Zara Fringe Jacket (£39.99), Dress Antia and Green via New Look (Similar Now On Sale £15.00), Wellies Black Gloss Hunter (£8.99), Bag Beyond Retro own Label, Flower Crown Primark
We will be trialing the bohemian dress trend for New Look’s Wireless festival, opting for a smock dress from New Look. We love just how easy it is to style and just how comfortable it is. If it’s raining pair it with some knee high wellies, if there’s sun then team it up with a pair of comfortable Converse.
Feeling a bit of a breeze? Have no fear, the tassels are here! Throw on a faux suede fringed jacket and you’re on to a winner.
Embroidered Peasant Tops

The peasant top is a lot fancier then the name suggests. Yanin pairs hers with a statement necklace and chunky cat eye sunglasses for a modern twist on the 70s trend. Wanna jazz it up a bit more? Then give it the cold shoulder (the literal kind). We’re loving the bardot-style peasant top this season.
Top Picks
1. Boohoo Mia Embroidered Smock Top (£16.00), 2. Boohoo Robyn Embroidered Front Lace Trim Swing Top (£16.00) 3. Abercrombie & Fitch Off The Shoulder Peasant Top (£44.00)
