Hunter Wellies - Foxy Festival Footwear!

So, it may be festival season but make no mistake, Hunter Wellies will be here to stay long after the bands and fans have packed up and left, they're no fad! These traditional wellies were first produced over 150 years ago and have been helping to build and farm Britain (and literally, the WORLD) ever since! HRH The Queen was probably the first celeb to pull these onto her royal feet after giving them the Royal Warrant but Hunters have since been picked up by celebrity wearers and thrust into superstardom.

Check out the lovely Lily Allen rocking a pair of dark green Hunters at Glasto last year, she wears them with a gorgeous girly dress and they look fabulous! Buy them at Cloggs for just £47.99!



Pixie Lott has also been seen in traditional red Hunters, again, the boots really know how to mix it up with her usual glam! Buy Pixie's Hunter's at Cloggs again for just £47.99!


Being the trailblazers that they are, Hunter have used celeb endorsements like this to their advantage and continually develop their boots to be as fashionable as they are functional, designing new shapes and amazing colours that are constantly evolving and changing in each new range. Here are a few of my fave styles right now, all available to purchase at Cloggs!

The Festival 2010 Short in Black £99.99 - my absolute faves, I imagine you would forget you have wellies on as they look so much like a cool pair of studded boots! These are also available in the tall version for £119.99, which would look just as amazing :D


The Original Lace Metallic in Silver £44.99 - add a bit of obvious glam to your festival chic outfit with this take on a cool lace up welly!


And, being an animal print girl, I just ADORE these Carnaby Boa Tall in Black £119.99! Girls, they are SNAKESKIN textured rubber!


And, in case you were wondering, it's not just us chicks that love Hunters, the guys can get in there too! All walks of male celebrity wear the famous boots; Will Young loves his tall greens like Lily, and both James Blunt and the GORGEOUS Kings of Leon rock the Hunter WaterAids (£49.99 from Cloggs), which raise funds to educate and provide water sanitation and hygiene in the world's poorest places, good call Hunter :D




You can even pimp out your Hunter's with their Welly Socks! Available in all kinds of fun styles, the idea is that the cuffs poke out of the tops of the boots to keep the look light and fun! Of course I LOVE the leo and zebra versions, available from stockists like Spoiled Brat!















So have we helped you to pick your new festival footwear? As much as I adore the obviously fashion forward Hunter styles, you also can't help thinking how amazing it would be to give to the WaterAid charity whilst you happily trudge around the various fields of fun this summer, Hunter really do cater for everybody! Get yourself over to Cloggs to pick a pair and take advantage of their free delivery and exchanges too, whoop!

Remember, festivals aren't fun if your footwear fails!
