Wellington Chic

I’ve just returned from a lovely Easter break in my homeland of Cornwall. It was hard leaving this time, something about taking the girl out of Cornwall but you can’t take the Cornwall out of the girl! I think it’s a combo of the sea, the countryside and all those friendly old faces that trigger a need in me to give up on the big bad city and shack up with lots of animals, grow my own veg and trade my heels in for a lovely pair of wellies!

Anyway it got me to thinking that for many of us it’s getting to that exciting time of year when we can frequent all the wonderful and interesting festivals that this country has to offer. Glasto, Latitude, The Big Chill there are tonnes to choose from! Gone are the days that festivals were just about good music and interesting people, we now have a lot more to take into consideration like it if is muddy what will I wear on my feet?! Wellies have come along way over the last few years..no longer just for farmers & people who like hanging around in mud, they are an eccentric fashion statement.

There are some obvious industry leaders out there, Hunter being the primary manufacturer of “posh” wellies! All the festival going celebs are wearing them, and it’s a race to see who can adorn their feet with the newest most glamorous Hunter wellies. For those of us who can’t afford to spend £60 on glam wellies then there are to my delight much cheaper options out there.

My advice would be to get yourself down to the local farm shop and purchase some traditional green ones for next to nothing.

Oooo Arrr!!
