Worthy Farm’s iconic Glastonbury Festival is a celebration of peace, love and music (obvs), but also a sartorial minefield. Here’s how to dress for partying at the Pyramid Stage and moshing in the mud, whatever the weather may be.

It’s the world’s grooviest festival. It’s three days of bucolic, blissed-out beatitude. But without the right kit, you run the risk of sinking into the style mire rather than cutting a spotless dash. Whether you’re hurtling down the helter-skelter in the Field of Avalon, or crowd-surfing to Catfish and the Bottlemen, these are the pieces that will make your Glasto a blasto.

Glastonbury givens: people will clamber onto other people’s shoulders and wave their arms about wanly. Innumerable songs will be dedicated to Mr David Bowie and to Prince. And some form of condensed moisture will fall earthwards with greater or lesser degrees of intensity. You’ll be prepared for the latter, if not the former, with this green Scout anorak from Battenwear, whose drawstring hood will ward off the elements (while proving no barrier to Adele’s sonorous tones), and whose capacious patch pocket will provide access to all your essentials: retractable stick for mosh-pit selfies; emergency earplugs for when Muse get extra heavy; and this mini-LED lantern from Snow Peak, to light up those moments in Shangri-La (you know there’ll be a few).

There will come a moment, perhaps when ZZ Top break into “Sharp Dressed Man” (“They come runnin’ just as fast as they can/ ’Cause every girl crazy ‘bout a sharp-dressed man”), when you’ll feel that fabled moment of Glastonbury one-ness, as the crowd sway as one and the good vibes coalesce into a giant love tsunami. How appropriate, then, if you happen to be wearing this natty Mt Fuji shirt from Blue Blue Japan, whose motif is inspired by undulating bamboo fronds. Pair it with this glass snake-bead bracelet from Mikia + United Arrows, and prepare for nirvana. (The transcendent state, rather than the grunge giants, obvs.)

When the lines at the bars are 15-deep and you want to raise a suitably regal toast as Years & Years launch into “King”, you’ll be glad you secreted this handy Snow Peak hip flask about your person; its anti-corrosive titanium won’t taint your covert scrumpy supply. And should that elusive yellow orb make a welcome appearance – ideally, as Mr Jeff Lynne’s ELO strike up the opening bars of “Mr Blue Sky” on Sunday afternoon – you’ll be ready to binge-bask, while repelling any potential ravages, with this SPF30 sunscreen from Hampton Sun. See you for Ms Lily Allen’s DJ set at Jagz’ Acid Lounge…
