1 Global Festival Round-Up Young Women Accessories Street Style 2017 An overview of the key accessory trends from the biggest festivals around the world

2 Ultra Korea Ultra Korea Way Out West Strawberry Music Festival Primavera Sound Strawberry Music Festival Bucket Hat While the baseball cap still dominates the festival circuit for 2017, alternatives are gaining pace and the bucket hat is a prime example. Perfect for keeping both the sun and rain at bay, this style has associations with the 1990s rave scene, so it makes sense to see Kangol's signature archive style re-emerge. A great vehicle for branding, the bucket hat is also a must-have for male festivalgoers.

3 Strawberry Music Festival Primavera Sound Primavera Sound Afropunk Fest Splendour in the Grass Ultra Japan Beret Another hat style to emerge at the 2017 festivals, and one that has already been making an impact on the catwalks and at street level, the beret feels less about being practical and more about making a statement. Seen in classic woollen renditions, these jauntily worn styles provide a chic finishing touch to both dressed-up and more casual festival looks.

4 Coachella Coachella Melbourne Flow Festival Melbourne Governors Ball Face Jewellery Called out as one to watch for the 2017 festival season, embellishment extends to the face as festivalgoers get creative with stick-on gemstones. Worn over brows, across the cheekbones like freckles, and all across the forehead, there's no limit to the ways in which these can be styled.

5 Primavera Sound South by Southwest Coachella South by Southwest Coachella Statement Hoops Cited as a key item on the S/S 18 catwalks, it's the scale of these earrings that makes them particularly noteworthy. More-is-more at the 2017 festivals, with oversized styles seen ranging from super-fine to heavy metal. Although the scale is a standalone statement item, festivalgoers shirk the rules when it comes to over-accessorising, wearing huge hoops with a choker and bold sunglasses.

6 Primavera Sound Flow Festival Splendour in the Grass Layered Chains This look feels less contrived and more as if girls are wearing all of their favourite jewellery at once, haphazardly layering necklaces in varying lengths together for an eclectic look. From single to multi-pendant styles, chain weights and metal finishes differ. Body chains add to this overlaid look.

7 Governors Ball Primavera Sound Flow Festival Coachella Coachella Primavera Sound Splendour in the Grass Neckerchief The bandanas that we saw in 2016 continue to provide a natty neckwear option this year, but smaller scarves with other designs are being worn in the same way twisted and tied to the front.

8 Flow Festival Splendour in the Grass Strawberry Music Festival Way Out West Flow Festival Splendour in the Grass Slim-Profile Sunglasses Having already been earmarked as a style to look out for next summer, early adopters are already wearing slim-profile sunglasses at the 2017 festivals, seen in both cat's-eye and wireframe iterations. All about a play on proportion, scaled-down styles really vary we see classic material and colour combinations alongside 2017's omnipresent bold colour-tint lenses.

9 Primavera Sound South by Southwest Coachella Splendour in the Grass Coachella Coachella Kurt Cobain Frames A frame made famous by Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, this design has dominated the 2017 festivals for men, and women also tap into this trend. An of-the-moment frame that no doubt owes part of its popularity to Supreme's copycat style, as well as an ongoing nostalgia for all things 1990s, this directional look provides a welcome change from the classics.

10 Ultra Korea Primavera Sound Way Out West Melbourne Governors Ball Ultra Korea Rainbow-Tinted Vision DESIGN DETAILS One of the festivals' strongest sunglasses story revolves solely around colour. All manner of frames are awarded a playful newness thanks to tinted lenses in a range of rainbow brights. This confidence in colour at street level is something that will have wider commercial appeal moving forward, with yellow tints one of the key colours to look out for in S/S 18.

11 Splendour in the Grass Splendour in the Grass Ultra Korea Coachella Melbourne Strawberry Music Festival Mirror Lenses DESIGN DETAILS With a focus on the lenses adding newness to the eyewear category mirrored sunglasses are a standout style on the 2017 festival circuit. As with their colour-tinted counterparts, all styles, from fine wireframe to novelty shapes and heavier plastic options, are seen reworked with this eye-catching update.

12 Primavera Sound Governors Ball Coachella South by Southwest Micro Backpack Young female festivalgoers continue to invest in the classic backpack silhouette for However, micro proportions make for a playful update this time around. With just enough space to store the essentials, despite being diminutive in size, styles are statement-making nonetheless, and are rendered in a number of different finishes, from fine leather, to colour-blocked, sporty canvas and all-over branding.

13 Governors Ball Coachella Way Out West Flow Festival Palm Springs Bumbag Both Ways There is no denying that this once trademark tourist look has fully transitioned into fashion territory. Having already taken a turn on the catwalks albeit in more elevated executions the casual bumbag is a must-have at the 2017 festivals. Worn as intended, slung around the waist, or as crossbody style seen on men too these are for the bare essentials only.

14 Coachella Splendour in the Grass Field Day Festival Melbourne Coachella Melbourne Primavera Sound Coachella Western Belt The Western belt emerges as a must-have at the 2017 festivals, having made an impact on the A/W 16/17 catwalks. Edging more towards the bohemian aesthetic that's dominated the festival scene in previous years, but feeling new nonetheless, styles feature either single or double decorative metal buckles; working perfectly with worn denim, or cinching in unexpected styles to toughen up more feminine looks.

15 Way Out West Melbourne Primavera Sound South by Southwest Coachella Primavera Sound Fishnets Striking the balance between sexy and grungy, fishnets both tights and socks prove popular for Seen at street level, this style of hosiery is widely juxtaposed with casual footwear choices. Tights are worn extra high and exposed on the waist when worn under trousers and shorts. Classic black styles are favoured, but alternative colours are also explored.

16 Afropunk Fest Way Out West Governors Ball South by Southwest Strawberry Music Festival Splendour in the Grass Strawberry Music Festival Retro Sports Socks Not just for the boys: girls combine comfort and style with retro sports socks featuring signature banded stripes. While predominantly worn with casual footwear options, today's young female festivalgoers challenge the status quo of smart and casual, matching their retro sports socks with more formal footwear choices. Socks are pulled up high for extra style kudos.
