Fancy Dress! Rainbow Festival Outfit Inspiration [Updated 2020]

8 Sep, 2017 | Festival Themes

Tomorrow I’m off to Bestival which for me means one thing… a rainbow of festival outfits aaaand it’s nearly the end of festival season! This year Bestival marks the last stop on my whirlwind summer tour & hopefully we’ll be going out with a bang?

Bestival are pretty keen on their dress up so it thought I’d do a little costume inspiration post like I did for Shambala a few weeks ago… This year’s theme is The Year of Colour which again, like all good themes, is totally up to your interpretation… To me it means sparkly rainbows and making a statement!

Skip down to shop the rainbow festival outfits!

I’ve had another busy summer and Bestival will be festival #9 for me (which compared to previous years is actually is pretty tame) but this means that I’ve still got lots of festival round-up posts to catch up on when my life is a little less hectic… AKA when I’m not in a field every weekend!

But to whet your appetite I thought that I’d give you a little on-theme rainbow flavoured taster of what to expect from my coming festival posts…
