Nail festival style with these free-spirited looks.

Summer has yet to deliver enough long, hot days, but one thing we can rely on is a stream of great music festivals. Rain, hail or shine, the looks seen on and off the stage are often as memorable as the music. Festivals rock a strong, bohemian flavour.

The Glastonbury and Coachella festivals have become style hotspots where the international set party, and the cool crowd's fashion picks are reinterpreted as streetwear trends worldwide. Key trends? Think luxe jet-set hippie meets edgy rock chick with a touch of 70s-style glam. Get in touch with your inner gypsy and become a free spirit this summer. Here's my music festival fashion guide to help you get inspired.

Swing out in Spell Designs' vintage-inspired romper featuring lace detailing. Toughen up the feminine sweetness with fierce cowboy boots, tribal jewellery and a sassy attitude.

Dance the night away in Staple + Cloth's off-the-shoulder Dune dress. This effortless chambray dress personifies the ethos of the modern hippie and is bound to become a festival favourite.

Amp up your style in Hideseekers Silk Penny cami and Tiny Dancer shorts, perfect for showing off a great set of pins. These animal print shorts will unleash your wild side adding a cool rock 'n' roll edge.

Feel the good vibes and chill out in Tigerlily's Batik floral ensemble. The cropped top with frill detail is a great choice for sun-soaked days and the maxi skirt is undeniably chic. Hippie deluxe styling at its best.

Be in fine festival form in Sylvester's Chevron bikini top, Utility shorts and bucket hat. You'll beat the heat and also nail festival chic in this flirty combo.

Turn up the volume in the style stakes with Coop's Fast and Loose halter-neck dress. Featuring a cheeky pin-up girl and palm-tree print, this head-turning outfit is sure to become the main event.
