No parkas, though \u2013 apparently this is overkill (even if Liam Gallagher has in the past been spotted wearing them in the scorching Spanish sun). We\u2019re calling it Oasis-core. <\/p>\n
As the band\u2019s merch stores start to pop up across the UK, flogging everything from football shirts to shot glasses, sales of Oasis-inspired products have also surged by 150 per cent. Searches for bucket hats are up 275 per cent, suggesting that they\u2019ve somehow transcended from a somewhat naff sartorial staple to a must-have when incorporated into an Oasis-inspired outfit. Far from fashion victims \u2013 most fans sporting bucket hats this year look more like Hackney hipsters. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s all a tad ironic considering Oasis were initially rumoured to be making their big comeback at Glastonbury. Cue major disappointment when it was revealed this wouldn\u2019t be the case, but it also explains why the Oasis-Glastonbury fan crossover is rather high. It probably helps that they\u2019ve already headlined several times \u2013 their 1995 set on the Pyramid is still widely considered one of the best in the festival\u2019s history. The jackets the Gallaghers wore then (Liam in a parka; Noel in a duffle) became integral to their identity as a band, and arguably still are to this day. <\/p>\n

Branded merch aside, the Oasis look is one that has always been popular among a certain set of east London-dwelling, natural wine-drinking, roll-up smoking set. It\u2019s normcore, really, which came to the fore a few years ago \u2013 check out the Instagram account @realhousewivesofclapton for frequent satirisations of this look. <\/p>\n
This summer, though, it seems to have gone mainstream by way of a cornucopia of Oasis-adjacent items. Beyond the bucket hats (seen this weekend in a variety of animal prints and eye-popping colours), there are also oversized vintage football shirts, strappy sports tops, cycling shorts, baggy trousers, cargo shorts, tiny sunglasses, and sporty trainers, like the black Salomon ones with the rainbow-coloured tongue we\u2019ve seen on literally everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have tickets for Oasis but money-wise it was either Glasto or Oasis this year,\u201d Will, 32, from Rhode Island told The Independent. <\/em>\u201cBucket hats are very practical in the sun for having shade with you at all times, but let\u2019s be honest they\u2019re also a little bit funny. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re supposed to actually look good, but at Glastonbury it\u2019s fun to look a little bit ridiculous, that\u2019s kinda the vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s more practical. We don\u2019t really use sunscreen that much, let\u2019s face it. We pack light.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked whether men put much thought into their fashion choices at music festivals, he responded: \u201cMaybe football shirts. And Adidas just released their range with Oasis… Adidas in general is just so influential right now to be fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dressed in a dusty blue Barbour jacket paired with white combat trousers, a khaki shoulder bag, red baseball cap and slim black shades, the model was the spit of his musician father. <\/p>\n
Similarly Oasis-coded is actor Charlie Rowe, who was photographed making his way around the fields in fisherman garb complete with a waistcoat, bucket hat and ankle wellies. He also had a similar shoulder bag. <\/p>\n
Of course, the Oasis look is unisex, and you can roll with it with or without a bucket hat. For versatility on the trend, look to model Mia Reagan who was clocked walking through the site in a pair of loose, long camo shorts paired with Burberry ankle wellies, a purple strappy bra top and the signature shoulder bag that looked like it had been tied to the side of her trousers. It might not carry the same specific Oasis items as some of the other outfits we\u2019ve seen, but it\u2019s very much tapping into the same vibe: relaxed, tomboyish, inherently Nineties.<\/p>\n
So if you want to get with the times at Glastonbury this year, all you really need is one of your dad\u2019s old football shirts, a pair of baggy shorts or trousers and, of course, the oh-so important bucket hat, which apparently really does live forever. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
