Coachella Outfit Ideas

  • Friday, March 13, 2015

Coachella is rapidly approaching. It's less than a month away! Have you started packing your Coachella outfits yet? I assembled 3 Coachella outfit ideas for you to sport at any upcoming music festivals this year. One is a fairy bohemian look with a maxi skirt, one is a simple & comfy look with a t-shirt dress, & lastly, one is an easy, chic look with shorts. Which one fits your style?

coachella outfit ideas


I'm a sucker for lavender so the pastel purple chiffon maxi skirt is ideal to look cute but stay cool throughout the day. A sequin top is sexy & detailed; the perfect top to spend your day in the hot Coachella temperatures. A grey t-shirt dress is simple to style; it's one of my favorite kinds of dresses to wear because of its versatility. Pair it with your favorite sneakers to keep your feet feeling happy. Check out my Coachella Outfit Essentials to see the basics of what to wear.

Style tips to keep in mind:
+ Avoid black clothes (it's hot)
+ Avoid pants/jeans (once again, it's hot)
+ Always wear comfortable, close-toed shoes (crushed toes? no thanks)
+ Always protect yourself from the sun! (sunburn? skin cancer?!)
+ Use lockers & bring a pair of pants for nighttime (it gets cold)

Which of these Coachella outfit ideas best fits your style? Are you heading to Coachella or any music festivals this year? What's your #1 style tip when it comes to surviving a festival? :]

      Really?!! Now that's interesting. I'll make sure to avoid it so I don't wear the same thing as 5,000 other people at Coachella. :p

    Perfect outfit ideas!! I went to North Coast (Chicago muisic fest!) last summer and I wore a cropped top tank and high-waisted denim shorts with some tennies... perfect for an all day fest in the heat!
