How The Revival Team Would Dress For Twinwood

Twinwood Festival is one of the highlights of the vintage calendar, bringing together thousands of enthusiasts for a spectacular weekend of live music, dancing, shopping and classic style. Held every August Bank Holiday weekend at Twinwood Arena in Bedfordshire, it's the perfect opportunity to embrace authentic vintage fashion and celebrate the golden eras of the 1940s and 1950s.

One of the things that makes Twinwood so special is the incredible effort visitors put into their outfits. From impeccably tailored suits and polished leather shoes to elegant dresses, hats and carefully chosen accessories, every corner of the festival feels like stepping back in time. Whether you're taking to the dance floor, browsing the vintage traders or simply soaking up the atmosphere, dressing the part is all part of the experience.

If you're still deciding what to wear, be sure to explore our ready-to-wear vintage event outfits for men and vintage event outfits for women. To give you even more inspiration, we asked members of the Revival team to choose the outfits they'd wear for a weekend at Twinwood Festival.

Helene

As Revival's Founder & CEO, Helene has a natural eye for vintage styling, and her Twinwood look takes inspiration from classic 1940s resort fashion. She chose our Riviera linen wiggle dress in Yacht Red, featuring bold stripes and a nautical inspired design. It really makes a statement while remaining effortlessly wearable for a weekend of dancing. She paired the dress with a navy blue frame bag and a wide-brimmed red hat, created as part of our exclusive partnership collection with an experienced milliner. Handcrafted in the UK, this unique vintage replica completes the look beautifully, tying together the rich red and navy colour palette.

Mark

Mark is Revival's COO and his Twinwood outfit of choice includes our Clubman jacket in Forest Dusk. With its classic houndstooth check and rich tones, it provides the perfect foundation for a smart vintage inspired look. He paired it with a crisp white spearpoint collar shirt and our Harry fishtail back trousers in Cocoa Brown, held up with a pair of tan & cream stripe leather loop braces. A deep green tweed bow tie complements the jacket, while his gold sleeve holders and cufflinks add an authentic finishing touch to this dapper ensemble.

Helen

Helen is the Creative Brand Manager here at Revival. For her casual fifties inspired look she paired our striking Daydream cardigan in Gemstone Green with our Misbehavin jeans, creating a classic combination that's perfect for a day of exploring the festival. She added a sweet cherry print scarf tied neatly around her neck, along with tortoiseshell sunglasses and a vintage clutch bag for the finishing touches.rev

Caroline

Caroline, our Senior Marketing Assistant, opted for a feminine vintage look for this year's Twinwood Festival. She chose our Lovers Lane dress in Twilight, with its deep pink floral print, and layered it with our Daydream cardigan in Poodle Grey for a soft contrast. A rose hair flower and pink catseye sunglasses add playful pops of colour, while her true vintage 1950s black handbag, finished with floral embroidery, completes the look with a beautiful period touch.

Katie

Katie is our newest staff member, joining us at the beginning of the year as our In-house Photographer & Content Assistant. She has chosen our Siren Suit jumpsuit for her Twinwood outfit. Easy to throw on and easy to move in, it’s a practical choice for a full day of exploring the festival without sacrificing vintage style. She picked a selection of monochrome accessories to finish her look including some grey catseye sunglasses, a vintage leather belt and a black leather messenger bag.
