Kimono Summer Festival Style With New Look!

So everyone's doing 'Festival Style' posts, and I'm not heading to any this Summer (or ever, for that matter), but that's not going to stop me from taking inspiration and working the Glastonbury/Coachella/Creamfields style essentials into a weekend friendly look!

It's all about the must have KIMONO. These lightweight cover ups are going down a storm this summer, and they're so easy to wear. This Brown Leopard Print Longline Cardigan (£22.99) from New Look (purveyor of MANY fine kimonos) is my idea of perfection. It's a slinky chiffon material so you don't even feel like you have it on, and it hits the back of my knees so you can wear shorts but still hide any personal rear thigh issues that would normally make you paranoid - hurrah! To the outfit . . .

Outfit: Kimono - c/o New Look, Vest - Tshirt Subway, Shorts - All Saints, Shoes - c/o Inkkas, Bag - Grafea, Necklace - Mi Moneda, Bracelets - ChloBo, Ring - c/o Mi Moneda.

I love the clashing patterns of the leopard and the aztec of my Inkkas shoes (which are the comfiest shoes in the world ever by the way!), against the neon Grafea rucksack. And yes, chiffon is impossible to control even with the teeniest poof of wind going on, but who doesn't love a bit of superhero cape action?! 

I've always been a Prince fan, and when it comes to music or band tees I only believe in wearing ones that you truly are a fan of, and this is my absolute fave. I'd love a vintage tour tee but they're hella expensive. I may invest one day *dreams*. Anyhoo, for weekend wear I've added my Mi Moneda necklace with the leopard coin to match the fab kimono. Obviously this sort of piece would not be coming to an actual festival with me!

So it's real easy to work the festival look -  just take the basics (shorts, vest, kimono) and add some cute shoes and accessories that you would never in a million years wear to traipse through a field in only to break/lose/ruin in a crowd of excitable drunk people. Ta daaaaaa!

New Look have created The Festival Hub, the ultimate guide to Summer festival fashion and fun. So even if you aren't going on a festival jaunt this summer, you can still channel the look and indulge in a little #fashfestfun of your own like moi!
