It’s been a nice run, you know. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Wellington boot, that enduring mainstay of the textbook style, isn’t the preferred footwear for the fashion set while they’re camping as the 2024 British festival season approaches its final stretch.
Almost two decades after Kate Moss stalked Somerset in a stretchy gold minidress and knee-high Hunters, Alexa Chung, another enduring festival style classic, was wearing a pair of black leather boots with a Western vibe to go with her butter-yellow slip in the VIP section at Glasto in June.
The trend persisted over the weekend at Wilderness, where the Audi Haven had just as many cowboy boots as Copenhagen Fashion Week, which begins today in the Danish city. (Although James Norton, decked up in patterned pants and Birks, was the only one not wearing them.)
For her part, Sophie Turner opted for a simple ensemble consisting of a linen shirt, little shorts, and sneakers, accessorizing her blonde hair with a claw clip. “I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time,” Turner told Chioma Nnadi in June, and she looked it. However, her denim Louis Vuitton shoulder bag was a dead giveaway—the former British Archivebate. UK cover girl maintained a low profile with her boyfriend, Peregrine Pearson, at the event at the event.
Though it was thirty degrees, beautiful weather has never stopped the girls from pulling on rubber wellies in the past. (Also, a Paris Texas Rosario boot hardly seems like a well-ventilated substitute.) Laura Hawkins, a British blogger for Archivebate.UK has been attending festivals in her silver leather Fendi cowboy a few summers ago, starting in autumn/winter. She says the shoes are the ideal blend of fun and sophistication, and the slightly raised heel makes them seem flattering.
