While the feel of Woodstock is in the air, Coachella tackles an entirely different feel with music like AC/DC, Disclosure, Ratatat and other artists.
The seemingly magical, weekend-long music festival Coachella is a street-style fanatic’s dream.
From 1970s-themed attire to raver-esque fur boots and glow accessories, Coachella goers pull out all the stops when it comes to fashion and what their personal style is all about, as I’ve seen via Instagram posts and bloggers aplenty.
It brings me to wonder what exactly would I wear to Coachella. Seeing that it is in California under the blazing sun, I struggle to understand how so many layers could be worn in one day.
The first thing likely found in my suitcase for Coachella would be hats, hats and more hats. Whether it be to protect myself from the beating sun or to keep me warm during chilly nights and acoustic sets, it is easy to see why they are the most popular accessory among concert goers.

Second, seeing that being in the hot sun all day may be less than ideal, I would suggest keeping ensembles simple yet dynamic. Tossing a romper or two into the mix would keep your suitcase and mind clear of matching pieces.
Throw a fun crossbody bag into the mix with some bold jewelry, and the simplicity of the outfit will speak for itself.
Lastly, at Coachella, the fashion is part of the culture alongside the art, the music and the people. But having fun with it is what keeps things interesting.
To keep the mix fun and fresh, I’d add Hawaiian shirts, kimonos and flannels to implement for layering and for at night when the temperature starts to drop.
The point of Coachella is certainly not to strut on a runway, but festivalgoers certainly know that it is a safe haven for personal expression – whether it be through art, music or fashion.
