Summer is upon us and with it, festival season. This is a huge time in the vintage community as vintage lovers seek to find the waviest garms the 90s has to offer from vintage Nike shell suits to fanny packs to funky shirts. So we've compiled a list of some of the best options you can go for to keep your festival fits wavy but sustainable, keeping you away from the temptation of the fast fashion giants. Never was there a better occasion for vintage festival fashion
Shell suits
Walking around with a wavy track jacket tied around your waist is probably the most festival-look there is. Do not forget to bring a lightweight jacket with you for when it gets later in the evening and you have to wait half an hour before the next set as the cold creeps in. Nike and Adidas made some of the most iconic track jackets of the 80s and 90s but there are also some very funky cheaper options out there from more unknown and nicher brands.

Football Shirts
A classic option for festivals is an old vintage football shirt. A fashionable choice for something you can also get very sweaty in. Especially good during a big competition year when everyone goes crazy for a vintage England football shirt. Although in this instance you might not want to be going and splashing the cash on a rare and expensive one unless you've got the money to burn as it's only going to get drenched in sweat and booze. We have an extensive range of football shirts available here
Bum Bags
Vintage fanny packs are the ultimate essential accessory for festivals given that you don't want to be walking around a festival with a massive bag, nor do you want to have things loose in your pocket that can fall out on the dance floor. They're also very handy for hiding any unmentionables.
Bucket hats
Unless you've got a massive head, bucket hats come hand-in-hand with festival season. You either love them or hate them but there's no denying they look the part and block you from that inevitable sunburn. Check out our range of vintage summer hats here
Funky Shirts
A wavy shirt is a great option for a sunny festival for that stand out piece that you can also unbutton as the heat and sweat starts to reign. The louder the shirt the better. Shop our collection here
Band T Shirts
Lastly, the whole point of festivals is to go out and see your favourite artists some of whom are legends of the industry. At festivals like Glastonbury, Download and Reading & Leeds, some of the headliners are going to be bands that have been around over 50 years. With that, it means they're also going to have some crazy vintage band shirts to show off. No better occasion to display a piece of music history on your back.
