WHEN deciding what to pack for camping in a muddy festival field, does a £75 electric toothbrush and £80 eye mask spring to mind?
No, us neither.
GettyAlexa Chung wearing her vintage Barbour jacket at Glastonbury in 2022 – but you can rock the festival look for a fraction of the price suggested by Vogue[/caption]This month 200,000 people will descend on Worthy Farm — and Vogue magazine has decided to make sure its readers are well-prepared with a questionable list of 15 “Glastonbury Essentials,” worth £1,839.
Gone are the days of practical wellies, denim shorts and a naff cagoule.
The fashion bible instead recommends a £595 skirt from Isabel Marant and Vivienne Westwood sunnies for £225.
While models and Glasto regulars Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne get the VIP treatment, Vogue seems to have forgotten that the rest of the campers will spend five days squatting in a portable loo.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale finds some affordable alternatives that you won’t mind getting dirty — and saves £1,504.02.
