Cowgirl boots, lace and an ode to the cherry: The best outfits from Tramlines Festival 2024

The lime cardi SCREAMS Brat summer

| UPDATED

Contrary to popular belief, Tramlines Festival is about more than the music. It’s the rare chance for the it girls and guys of Sheffield to showcase what the northern powerhouse has to offer in terms of fashion and style – and there’s a lot more than you might think. Gone are the days of fringe and flowers – Tramlines 2024 was instead overrun with lace, leopard print and cherries. So many cherries.

Here’s a look at some of the best dressed festival goers from Tramlines 2024 who stole the show from Paolo Nutini, Snow Patrol and Jamie T.

Country chic

Alex seemingly nabbed items from both of his parent’s wardrobes for Tramlines 2024 to get that real authentic vintage look.
