Gypsy jewellery - a must this summer
Club wear is out, the gypsy look is back – hurrah! Florence Welch, et al have taken up where Fleetwood Mac left off (and while we’re on the subject, Stevie Nicks happens to look younger than most of us – and she’s 62!)
Yes, ethereal beauty reigns supreme this summer. Pagan-looking girls the length and breadth of our island are gathering as we speak for a couple of long months of hard festival going. Last seen in its truest form in the 1980s however, when bustieres, Indian/hippy clothing and Victorian lace all merged into one wonderful ensemble, it has today metamorphosed into a more casual affair.
Tassels, waistcoats, ruffles, long flowing outfits like those worn by Florence – the essence of this season’s style is comfort and simplicity.
If you’re visiting summer festivals for the first time, bear in mind the following points and you’ll be sure to stay safe, stay comfy and relax, safe in the knowledge that you look HOT (and no, we don’t mean like a lobster):
• Choose something that will cover your shoulders and back or you’re likely to burn whilst you’re watching the bands – particularly if you’re on someone else’s shoulders
• Make sure that whatever outfit you wear, it’s machine washable! You’ll be spared the mud this year, but are likely to encounter dropped food, sauces and lager.
• If you’re not comfy, you’ll not be able to relax and enjoy yourself properly. Make sure you can strip off or add layers, as the temperature changes.
That’s it, – have fun, stay safe and flaunt some gypsy fashion style!!
