In ye olden days, “Glastonbury style” tended to conjure up images of Kate Moss and Sienna Miller in coin belts and Hunter wellies, or else wizardy types in tie-dye harum pants and bare feet (with no in-between). In recent years, though, the festival has become a generally more fashion-forward affair across the board. This could be because people take more pics, so style takes higher priority, or maybe it’s because Gen Z was raised on the festival style of the aforementioned Noughties icons. Either way, Glastonbury 2025 was a trend-inspired fever dream.
But some street style trends (field style trends?) were more prominent than others. From a collective obsession with white boho skirts and chunky biker boots to the million and one different ways in which people were wearing silk scarves, the festival was essentially a microcosm of what everyone’s wearing in the UK this summer. To that end, here are the five biggest trends spotted at Glastonbury this year for you to take to future festivals and beyond.
White Skirts
If you, too, have been bombarded with the post-Glastonbury Instagram photo dumps that’ve dominated feeds since Monday, you might have noticed one thing: a lot, and I mean a lot, of white skirts. Boho skirts, lace skirts, floaty barely-there skirts… white skirts were a firm fixture across Worthy Farm this year, usually paired with some mud-caked wellies or beaten up biker boots.
Football shirts
Football shirts have become a bit of a go-to piece this year – especially in the run-up to the Euros – so it makes sense that they were all over Pilton. There’s even an entire X account documenting all the best footie shirts at Glastonbury (eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted Self Esteem in a Sheffield Wednesday tracksuit top). My favourites were all the cutesy fashion-y footie shirts that’d possibly look absurd on an actual pitch – but that’s just me!
Silk Scarves
Earlier this year, British Vogue’s Joy Montgomery wrote about how silk scarves had become summer’s most versatile and inescapable staple. Nowhere was this clearer than at Glastonbury this year – from celebs like Gracie Abrams and Immy Waterhouse opting for bandanas instead of caps, to all the festival-goers wearing little silk numbers around their waists or torsos as tops, this simple square garment truly knew no bounds.
Micro shorts
It’s been 20 years since Kate Moss was pictured at Glastonbury in micro shorts and a waistcoat, with a ciggie in one hand and a studded belt reading “GLASTONBURY”, but the look appears to have come all the way back around. Indeed, micro shorts were fairly inescapable this year, from Olivia Rodrigo’s sparkly Union Jack booty riders to Lily Allen in barely-there shorts to the many punters copycatting Moss’s original look from all those years ago.
Fancy dresses
Look, festival style needn’t be all practical raincoats and bucket hats and hiking gear. Sometimes, you can just dress like you’re going to a big luxurious party. Enter: fancy dresses, which dominated Worthy Farm this year. From Alexa Chung going full pearly silk to Daisy Lowe in a slew of glittering post-wedding gowns, the one-and-done dress appeared to be the flavour of the day. Maybe not ideal for navigating the infamous long drops, but whatever. Everyone looked good, which is more important.
