If there’s one thing you can rely on a British festival for, it’s rain. A great pair of wellies that are equal parts stylish and functional is essential for navigating the muddy paths of any field. Whilst the practicalities are clear, it seems that wellies are a fashion trend that’s here to stay this season.
They were shown on the runway at Chanel and Celine, cementing the Noughties ‘indie sleaze’ trend , and Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta have both recently released their chunky interpretation of the classic boot. So, this summer is the perfect time to invest in a pair that you can wear both on and off the festival field. Not only will they help you forget the poor weather and start enjoying it, but they will elevate your look.
Whether you prefer to stand out in a bright neon green, are looking for a pair with classic Western appeal, or would rather tone it down with a minimal Chelsea boot style, we’ve pulled together a selection to suit every taste. Men’s wellies are often unlined, so make sure you also stock up on welly or boot socks , or else risk the burning sensation of rubbing the hair off your calves for good (speaking from experience..
