Drupal: Broken styles on admin pages

After running drush cr to clear the cache, all of the CSS styles have disappeared when accessing pages under /admin/. This includes pages in a custom module but also the default administration pages like /admin/appearance

When I examine the page source for any page the style sheet links are all empty:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/" />

It seems like other people have had this issue, but no fix has been found.

What's going on? How can I fix my admin styles?

The short answer is that this is a permissions problem. Drupal prompts you to change the permissions for the sites/default/files directory to allow the system to cache files.

File system. Writable (public download method). The directory sites/default/files is not writable. You may need to set the correct directory at the file system settings page or change the current directory's permissions so that it is writable.

If you use chown www-data sites/default/files the message will disappear but Drupal still won't be able to write to the cache correctly because the files in that folder aren't owned by the web server.

You need to grant write permissions to all the contents of that folder too. The easiest way is chown -R www-data sites/default/files but Drupal has an extensive guide to file permissions you may want to read.
