Festival season is upon us and this summer is gearing up to be full of field-based fun and frolics. Whether you've got tickets to Glastonbury or are looking for a Wireless wardrobe, there's something about festival fashion that is unlike any other summer trend.

For some, boho tops and vintage denim are kept at the ready all year long. But for summer 2022, it's no surprise that "Euphoria" fashion is leading the way. Fans of the show are embracing a newfound affinity for retro miniskirts, tattoo sleeve mesh shirts and, of course, crop tops. Y2K-inspired looks are also trickling into the festival realm, so if classic bohemian staples like cowboy boots, fringe, and crochet aren't for you, you have slightly more contemporary options.

Since Coachella kicked off festival season, searches for sequinned pieces are up 35 percent on shopping app Lyst as music fans are looking to shimmer and shine. And it's not just clothes that are getting the sparkle treatment. The viral gem hair stamper ensures your hair glistens as much as your outfit.

Accessories are also having a moment for festival season 2022. Bucket hats might be a Nineties throwback, but searches are up 62 percent on Lyst, while beaded bags have increased by a huge 130 percent. Although, the TikTok-approved Uniqlo bag is certain to be a favourite this season, too.

From British staples like wellington boots to on-trend pieces like cropped scarf tops, we've searched the high street to find the biggest festival fashion trends 2022. Have a look through to see how to make this season your most stylish yet.

Festival Trend 2022: Wellies

The motto for all British festivals should be: "Be Prepared". While finding fun outfit options is great, the changeable weather can turn any event from fab to drab. Don't get caught out and ensure you pack some wellies. Few shoes are more famous for festivals than the Hunter Women's Original Tall Wellington Boots (£115), and for good reason. Take inspiration from festival queen Kate Moss and pair with any outfit if you think the clouds are looking a little grey.
