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
Sheffield University graduate Eleanor travelled back up from London all the way for the festival. She studied creative writing at uni but clearly should have done fashion, pulling together an adorable festival outfit that incorporates the perfect balance of cowgirl and cute.

Cricket at 5pm, Tramlines at 7pm
Alex seemingly nabbed items from both of his parent’s wardrobes for Tramlines 2024 to get that real authentic vintage look. But the best part of this whole outfit isn’t the women’s belt and headband he styles, but the pop of colour he brought to the festival in a sea of grey and black T-shirts. Bravo.
