With Splendour in the Grass kicking off this weekend, we can’t stop thinking about festival style. No matter how boho (or not) your personal style typically is, something about festivals can urge even the most polished fashion girl to let her hair down and try something new. This season we predict festival style will be less about flowers crowns and patchwork prints, and more about showing off something edgy and unique.
While we fully support testing a new look at your next festival outing, you may not want to spend heaps of money on outfits that may get ruined in the mud and the moshpit. Never fear, we’ve turned to our favourite affordable retailer to help you out: Zara. Not only are these pieces less-expensive than more boutique brands, but most of them would also be easily incorporated into your everyday wardrobe, letting you wear them long after festival season. Keep scrolling to see what we’re stocking up on in preparation for festival season and beyond.

You'll be wearing these all weekend long.
Nothing screams festival more than an overdose of denim.
It's a music festival, yes, but don't forget it's still winter. Rug up.
Forget white sneakers. With an inexpensive pair of black ankle boots, you can't go wrong (even if they get ruined in the mud).
Make sure your friends can find you among the crowd with this pink furry coat.
This shirt tucked into brown high-waisted corduroy pants is a whole '70s vibe waiting to happen.
Change into these when you're ready to dance the night away.
Pair with sandals and a leather jacket and this is a whole look.
