Fashion news, insights and events website, TheIndustry.fashion, has revealed 5 festival fashion trends of 2025.

Boho chic

• Boho has been back for a while, and while it may be petering out on the high street, this year’s festivals are the perfect places to sport it.
• From floaty co-ords to stitched accessories, the boho style is easy and effortless - and stylist Sian Clarke, in partnership with Michael Kors, confirms that it’s here to stay, noting an 83% spike in search interest.

Nineties jorts

• While boho chic may be evoking the 2000s, the rise of baggy jorts - or jean shorts - is throwing festival fashion back to the nineties.
• Whether DIY’d from an old pair of Levi’s or sourced from a beloved vintage shop, jorts are expected to become a festival staple, teamed with a tank and trainers for a cool yet comfy look.

Utility core

• Another trend offering a more laid-back look in comparison to boho chic is utility core. Utility core is like a combination of Lara Croft and Euphoria, taking functional silhouettes and pairing them with suede or metallic finishes and face gems.
• Consumers are embracing a neutral base paired with layered gems and jewellery as an effortless festival look - perfect for those who want style without the hassle, especially by day three of the festivities.

Disco cowboy

• While cowboy boots were in last summer, this season the ‘disco cowboy’ is making waves with metallic fringe and studded Western boots.
• Metallics are the cherry on top. With searches for ‘metallic and fringe jackets’ up by 69%, they’re clearly the after-dark must-have.

Timeless vintage

This year more than ever, festival goers are leaning into vintage gems. Layered jewellery and a solid pair of retro trainers - a nod to the F1 trend - can give any outfit the edge it needs.
