It's festival season. Here's how to get the look

Every year, at about this time, a strange kind of madness overtakes our high street stores. It creeps in — a fringed kimono here, a crochet crop top there — until suddenly you realise every accessory looks like it’s been pillaged from a Navajo reservation. This proliferation of turquoise rings, body chains and feathered headdresses can only mean one thing – we’re in festival season.

Formerly known as “summer”, festival season has hijacked the months of June and July, and “festival fashion” — the aforementioned kimonos, crocheted everything, and oodles of fringed suede — has somehow taken the place of “summer staples”, as if every woman secretly lives for those few weekends a year she can cut loose and embrace her inner flower child.
