There are many factors to consider when purchasing tickets for Coachella. Is the first weekend or the second weekend better? Can you exchange tickets at the same time? If there are two artists that you like to play at the same time, who do you see? Do you squeeze into the mosh pit in the front row of seats or do you dance in the back? Finally, the most important question is what to wear to Coachella?
The iconic California music festival attracts artists, art, parties and celebrities every year, but one of the best parts of the festival is participating in festival fashion.
Whether you’re an OG Coachella attendee and still have your 2012 flower crown, or you finally snagged tickets for the first time, you’ll want to look great at the festival. When the last headliner is over, some attendees start planning their outfits for next year. If you’re a last-minute packer, don’t worry! There are so many cute festival looks online right now that they will be there just in time for the first act to arrive.
This year, holiday fashion all revolved around a specific aesthetic. From funky floral appliques to crappy biker styles, choosing an overall dress code vibe will help you narrow down your choices and even pick an outfit from your own closet. You can stick to one aesthetic for three days or reinvent yourself every morning – there’s no need to choose between ’70s fashion and Y2K when you can do both.
The key to any aesthetic is accessorizing. You’ll want to choose a bag that you can carry comfortably for hours and that can hold all your holiday essentials. The one essential you absolutely need to carry? Sunglasses. It’s easier to spot celebrities when you’re not squinting. Colorful shades, classic aviators and oversized frames are all game.
Cool & Casual
Sometimes it’s the understated dress code that makes the biggest impact. Last year, simple outfits were the biggest trend at Coachella. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber took a laid-back approach to their festival looks and looked very cool. This year, the focus was on premium basics like biker denim jackets, leather fanny packs and athletic parachute pants.
