One of the most iconic music festival in the world, Coachella is known for its impressive lineup of artists and fashion-forward crowd. Every year, attendees, ranging from micro influencers to A-listers, bring their A-game and spin on festival fashion, highlighting the latest trends. But even if you’re not attending this entertainment-packed event and are instead hitting the books for finals (I feel you), you can still draw inspiration from recent and past Coachella looks for your next festival outfit.
- cowboy boots
-
With the rising popularity of boho-chic fashion inspired by “Daisy Jones & The Six,” cowboy boots are ideal for adding a western touch to your outfit. They’re Coachella’s main characters every year, arguably making them a festival season staple worth investing in. Cowboy boots are also practical for walking around on festival terrain. Pair them with a flow sundress or denim cut-offs and a graphic tee to embody your cowgirl side.
- waves & braids
-
Coachella is all about letting your hair down and going a bit crazy, so slicked-back hairstyles are not your friend! Loose, beachy waves can give you a free, bohemian vibe that’s perfect for Coachella. To get this look, opt for a curling iron or hot rollers, or braid your hair the night before and let it out in the morning for a more natural wave. Don’t worry if they’re a bit messy – it’s part of the charm!
Braids are always welcome during festival season. Opt for a full French braid if you want to tame your mane amid all the dancing or incorporate small braids into your hair for a more subtle take on the hairstyle. These add texture, interest, and style without being too overwhelming.
- all things crochet
-
As a bikini, a set, a cardigan, or a skirt, crochet is everything everywhere all at once! The chunky version of crochet adds a cozy, bohemian touch to a look, while finer knits create a more delicate and intricate effect. Whether you’re going for a head-to-toe crochet outfit or just incorporate a single crochet item into your look, this trend is perfect for adding a unique and fashionable touch to your festival style.
- statement sunnies
-
Arguably necessary for staying sane under the Californian sun, sunglasses can also be a fashionable serve. With the trending ’80s style sunglasses, which feature bold, colourful frames and tintes lenses, you can make a statement while also protecting your eyes from the scorching desert. Oversized and cat-eye frames are popular choices to complete your festival look this year. Whether you opt for classic aviators or trendy retro frames, statement sunnies are a must-have for any Coachella-inspired look.
