For one weekend a year, there are actually stylish people in Essex. We're talking Offset Festival here folks. Just a few months back TRR deemed Lovebox the first festival of fashion, however after hitting-up Offset over the weekend we're reeling that title back in.

All of East London's cool kidz decamped to the bowels of Hainult Forest with style and imagination that, thank Christ, goes beyond the yawnsome fuckwits that think Hunter wellie's and a pair of Wayfarers maketh a good festival look.

Lennon-esque round sunnies were prolific, as were shredded hosiery, tons of underwear-as-outerwear, studded leather and fur. If there was one defining item it was the cloak - as seen on all of Chrome Hoof.

Style Icon of the weekend hands down goes to the fabulously neanderthal singer from Monotonix (all of whom played out in the crowd) who bashed his drum like a primitive caveman that'd gone wild in M&S boxers department.
