Festival Fashion: The Rules
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Do
* Splash out on quality wellies - hunters are actually much more comfy than cheaper versions
* Wear brightly coloured lipstick - try Bobbi Brown's Lip Colour in Mango
* Take a powder foundation compact with a mirror - Chanel's Mat Lumière powder can be reapplied day and night without caking
* Try dry shampoo - Bumble and Bumble's version absorbs grease and gives great, tousled "sleeping bag" hair
Don't
* Wear heels - you are in a field! How many farmers do you see in stilettos?
* Or fairy wings - get over it, you are a human, not a fairy
* Wear too many items from the Kate Moss for Topshop range - you will look like a clone
* Wear a cowboy hat - too Ayia Napa circa 1999, and they block people's view of the stage
* Take any maxidresses - ok, so they epitomise that wholeWoodstock hippie vibe, but they will trail along the ground, picking up any old chip forks along the way
