Festival looks have come a long way in recent years. Of course, the OG festival babe is our very own supermodel Kate Moss whose pirate boots and low-slung hipster belts continue to define not just Glastonbury looks, but festival fashion the world over. The supermodel single-handedly originated the paparazzi frenzy associated with celeb festival-going in the noughties and her effortless get-up of rock band tees, mini skirts, long boots, and sunnies has influenced what we wear to many a summer rave. But, this year why not step it up a notch with EGO’s divine new range of plus-size summer outfits.
Plus size festival outfits are here to stay, we’ve got bodycon dresses, flared trousers to make a kick-ass entrance, and mini skirts to move and groove in. You’ve got the tickets, you’ve bought the precautionary wellies and now it’s time to shop all the festively flattering plus-size summer outfits for your perfectly gorgeous proportions. Read on for EGO’s edit; festival styling at its very best.
Flattering festival fashion
Festivals are the best fun you can have on dry land. Actually, given what we know about the UK weather, ‘dry’ land might be an overstatement but take it from us, the combination of your best gal pals, the knowledge that your fave band will take to the main stage, and a festival wardrobe to slay all others is going to make this the perfect summer shindig. But where to start? It can all get a bit confusing when there are so many options to choose from, so let’s start with a fabulously flattering dress.
Fold Over Acid Wash Mini Dress
Flattering summer dresses for plus size are only a click away in EGO’s latest drop. Sunny days will be even brighter when you’re wearing metallics so you might start and end your dress decisions with the Gold Sheer Halterneck Mini Dress. It’s slinky, body-contouring, and offers the perfect proportions when the sun’s rays are beating down. Pair with the Oversized Gold Disc Western Belt and the stunningly shimmery Gold Cowboy Boots and you have an outfit Midas himself would be jealous of.
If a mini dress feels a little too try hard and the weather is on the miserable side then stlck with the dress idea but go longer, leaner and keenerr! What do we mean? Why, the Long Sleeve Low Back Maxi Dress, of course! Its cosy waffle fabric has all the feels and will keep you delightfully toasty in many a flooded field. When the evening gets even chillier – UK summers are soooo unpredictable – then add the Long Sleeve Over Sized Jumper to your outfit. It’s a dress, but, hey, it adds to the layered look you’ll need to cultivate in our beloved UK climate.
Concert going crowd-teasers
What to wear to a concert when you’re plus size, babe? Never been easier, trust us. When the festival line-up offers a headlining gig from your favourite artist then you want your look to be rock chick. Here at EGO we’ve got all the plus size concert-going looks you’ll ever need, from perfect plus size tops, to cute plus size coords, and a huge selection of amazing accessories to ensure your entire plus size aesthetic is nailed.
The High Waist Frill Mini Skirt reigns supreme in its cool white simplicity and provides quite the contrast when worn with the Scoop Neck Logo Vest. Simple, classic, and ready to rock the scene you’ve been waiting to steal for what seems like months. Being a #fangirl takes energy and commitment so don’t forget to tote a fabulous bag on your arm so you don’t have to expend extra energy dragging your stuff around. The Boxy Black Pocket Detail Bag is big enough to hold all the essentials – phone, lippy, concealer, and all-important tickets – and looks sharp enough to sit well with your black and white outfit.
Grey Crucifix Detail Crop Jumper
Co-ord sets are safe bets
Coords have established themselves in the ever-evolving world of plus size clothing as the go-to look to take the festival scene by storm. That’s one storm for you – when you emerge from the tent in a fabulous new plus size co-ords to the envy of all your mates – and another to batter the tent into a shape that looks like a plastic carrier bag. What can we say? UK weather really is the WORST, but with the perfect blend of style and comfort, EGO’s plus size co-ord sets are here to stay.
The Scoop Neck Crop Top is the perfect top to wear to a festival. Cool, sassy, and lots of stretch. Snag the Grey Rib Mini Skirt to match the top and you have one of the best plus-size summer outfits. Stretchy AF as you march across field after field trying to locate the main stage with your besties. You could grab a pair of chunky-soled boots like the Buckle Detail Biker Boot to give you a little elevation above the mud – genius, right? Cool and dry. A winning combination at any summer festival.
Keyhole Detail Distressed Bodysuit
Brown is the new black
When the fashion winds change, EGO is ahead of the game. Chicest chocolate brown has been winning the battle over black for a few seasons now – although we do still love a hit of naughtiest ‘noir’ from time to time – so we are crushing on the High Waist Drape Detail Mini Skirt in the dreamiest shade of mottled, earthy brown.
It’s such a great skirt, stretchy and comfortable yet super sexy when paired with some great chunky boots. In fact, chocolate brown works fabulously with cowboy boots and you can’t get better than the El Paso Western Cowboy Boot. This ain’t Texas, but we’re here for all things Western style and cowboy boots have been kicking their way to a comeback for a few months now so what was once perceived as a tricky boot to style has swiftly made its way to the top of the festival going charts.
A festival of plus size summer outfits
If you’re heading to a festival or concert this summer then grab the glitter, pack the oversized raincoat, chalk your hair with pastels but don’t wait to stock up on flattering summer dresses from EGO. The new plus size selection is absolutely ripe for the picking (and packing), whether it’s camo or lace, there is everything you need to match your flower-garland headband. Shop and go!
