FESTIVAL FASHION: Electric Picnic frocks
ELECTRIC PICNIC marks the last foray of the summer. Thousands descend on a field in Stradbally, knowing that the lazy, hazy summer evenings are ending. The picnic is the last chance of the year to be free and to let your inner festival goddess shine. Ever since Kate Moss stepped onto the muddy fields of Glastonbury, donning denim shorts and Hunter wellies, festival chic has discovered a new meaning.
The year’s festivals, from Glastonbury to Coachella to Electric Picnic, have given us endless material for style pages. A festival uniform has been created from the Moss look. Celebs such as Alexa Chung and Laura Whitmore are a fan of this simple style. Every year, the grounds of grand houses see drones of girls wearing the infamous shorts cut-offs, or a summer tea dress matched with wellies and knee-high socks. It’s a look that works; it’s functional, easy and stylish, all rolled into one.
