4. Disco Cowboy Goes Glam
While cowboy boots made a big splash last year, this year it's all about the "disco cowboy." With metallic fringe and studded Western boots, these boots will take your festive look from ordinary to extraordinary.
Perfect for unpredictable Irish weather and the after-dark festivities, metallic accessories are the perfect way to upgrade your festival outfit. Pop on a metallic jacket or rock metallic boots or a bag - whatever floats your boat!
5. Timeless Vintage Cool
