Summer Festivals

Summer isn't the same without music festivals. Swap pavement cafes and Jimmy Choos for sunshine and rock 'n' roll. Wear your favourite distressed jeans with classic rock tee-shirts or C&C California tanks. Easy-to-wear denim minis and a poncho for when the temperature drops at night are effortlessly stylish and practical.

The Big Chill Festival takes place in Herefordshire from 30 July to 1 august.
