I’ll be honest festival dressing has changed a bit for me over the years. These days, I’m more likely to be carrying snacks and water bottles than covered in glitter, but I still want to wear pieces that feel fun, stylish, and me.
As a 30-something mum of three, comfort is key but so is confidence. I want outfits that move with me, flatter my shape, and don’t feel boring. This is the festival edit I turn to for effortless dressing that does both so more time dancing less time outfit stressing.
The Lace Back Crop Top: Tried-and-tested at my favourite festivals
SHOP NOW: MUSTARD/ BLACK/ WHITE/ SPRING GREEN
I love layering it under a silk shirt or pairing it with high-waisted denim. Inspired by my background in lingerie design, I created this so you can feel confident and supported whatever your age or bra size. We shouldn’t have to ditch crop tops just because we hit 30. Available in Black, White, Mustard and Spring Green this top is breathable and a bit of a showstopper for all.
The Cotton T-Shirt Dress: My go-to for when I need to be ready in 5
SHOP NOW: BLACK/ NAVY BLUE/ GREY/ RUST
These dresses are the definition of easy style with floral print or lace sleeve detailing. Just add chunky sandals or wellies, a crossbody bag, and you’re done. I wear mine with a denim jacket or an open silk shirt for layers. Add leggings in the evening when the chill sets in no outfit change needed.
Chic Co-ord: Florals, flattering, and packs like a dream
SHOP NOW: NAVY BLUE FLORAL CROP TOP/ NAVY BLUE FLORAL MIDI SKIRT
Perfect for festival fun when I want to look chic without trying too hard. The stretch cotton jersey = all-day comfort. The matching top = instant outfit. It gives the look of a dress but arrives crease-free thanks to the soft cotton jersey just throw it in your festival bag and you’re ready for the first DJ.
The piece that goes with everything
SHOP NOW: CLASSIC SILK SHIRT IVORY/ GREY & PINK FLORAL CROP TOP/ BLACK LACE BACK CROP TOP
Keeping your shoulders sun-safe by day and your arms warm by night.
With its delicate lace detailing, this is the perfect layer for festival fun. Worn over crop tops, dresses or vests, tied or loose, it instantly elevates any outfit. A forever staple in my wardrobe an original SCD design, it’s one of those rare pieces that truly stands the test of time.
You don’t need to sacrifice style for practicality. Festival dressing can still feel playful, fun and flattering just with a little more comfort and a little less "I’m freezing cold". This edit is made for real life, real bodies, and real moments.
See you on the dance floor (or the cocktail queue).
