Bucket hats, homemade garms, and Greggs: All the best outfits from Reading Festival 2022

When attending a festival over the summer there is only one thing that is more important than the music, and that is the fashion. And the attendees at Reading Festival this year did not disappoint, they all know how to dress. Whilst there were boys every couple of metres in head-to-toe Greggs x Primark, the girls, the gays and the theys really pulled through to serve one fierce fit after another.

With anticipation for Megan Thee Stallion and Dave’s headline sets thick in the air, think bucket hats, funky sunnies, and sparkles. And of course, no festival fit would be complete without a colour co-ordinated Elf Bar to match your garms. Here’s the only rundown you need of Reading Festival 2022’s best dressed:
