With both Coachella weekends wrapped, Brits are turning their attention to homegrown events like Glastonbury, which saw 903,000 searches last month alone.
A new study from Pandora UK reveals festivalgoers plan their outfits 32 days in advance, and 68% go bolder with their jewellery for festivals than they do day to day.

She encourages festivalgoers to:
