I would love to hear your suggestions/advice on dressing for Glastonbury! I’m going this year and trying to balance looking like an adult and going with the vibe

FUN. Was actually thinking of doing a newsletter on this but my top piece of advice which my friends and I always talk about is: to look good don't dress like you're going to a festival. Just wear a nice outfit that is slightly practical. And layers! Somerset weather dictates that it's cold one second then boiling five minutes later. And it will always get freezing at night. Take a coat to the headliner because, even if it's boiling when they start, it will be cold after and you don't want to have to go back to your digs to pick up more clothes. Lol so much to say, might have to do a piece. Have a great time!

I should add that everyone looks good on the first day or two and by Sunday EVERYONE has given up and it's quite funny. I wore my pyjamas one Sunday.

Gosh! You made me want to go to London, AND buy all the clothes. I'm being influenced! :-D

Thanks for this! We’ll be in London in July and I’m saving these recommendations.

I would love your thoughts on something. I’m wanting to do some shopping in London at Sézane, ME+EM and some other nearby stores. Do most London clothing stores tend to have larger sizes in store? I wear a 40/42 in pants and 42/44 in tops and dresses, depending on the cut. Just trying to avoid disappointment if they only tend to carry smaller sizes. Thanks for your thoughts on that!

I was in the Sézane store on Marylebone High St v recently and it was well stocked with different sizes, I thought. And I'm pretty certain Me+Em will def be. Hope it's a fruitful trip!
