Getting ready for Coachella can be quite intimidating as everyone is bringing their A-game dress for the fest. But relax ladies, I’ve got your back!
Whether you prefer a simple or dramatic ensemble, I get you covered.
From romantic boho hippie style, and artsy crochet looks to Greek goddess ensemble, I’m pretty sure you will pick your favorite one!
That said, ahead are the 10 outfit combos (& two checklists in the end) if you wonder what to wear with Coachella and music festivals.
Enjoy!
1. WEAR CROPPED TEE & SHORTS FOR COACHELLA
As the saying goes, less is more. For a minimalist girl, you can for sure stay chic even with the simplest outfit!
If you prefer a simple ensemble, a cropped top and denim shorts can work wonders for you.
For a dash of retro flares, throw on an 80s graphic front knot tee with acid wash jean shorts and vans that just look perfect for an “I don’t give a damn” look.
To add the extra dose of spiciness, team the sports bra and cropped denim jacket that can never go wrong.
Seriously, if you have a resting b!tch face, get this crop top to balance things out – and this is a great shirt for an icebreaker!
For my Y2K girls.
2. STAY UNIQUE WITH BOHEMIAN HIPPIE STYLE
As a perfect blend of romance, ethnic vibes, and creative freedom, boho style can never be out of style for music festivals.
So, ladies, it’s time to put on your wide-beam hat, fringe bag, and vegan knee-high boots for a distinctive nature-girl look.
And of course, you can’t finish off the look without a turquoise stone ring and layered feather necklace.
For a billowy silhouette, reach for an Aztec poncho to seal the deal.
3. OPT FOR SPARKLY SHEER DRESS FOR MUSIC FESTIVALS
Time for glam? You bet!
It’s finally the time to dust off the sheer dress that you thought you would never have a chance to wear again for a dreamy goddess look.
Basically, you can wear whatever you want underneath the dress.
Whether that’s a sports bra, a lace camisole top with shorts, or a one-piece swimsuit, that will look irresistibly ravishing.
To sculpt your silhouette, don’t forget to cinch your waist with a vintage belt.
You can never look too over the top in a music festival like Coachella and if you go for a sheer dress, pick the sparkle one!
4. EMBRACE ARTSY CROCHET DRESS
While it’s hard to stand out from the crowd at a music festival, with a colorful crochet dress, this look is sure to turn heads.
As a refreshing blend of a free spirit, artsy vibes, and environmental awareness, a vegan crochet dress is such a winning option for this year and probably years onwards.
To spruce up the look, throw yourself a wide-beam hat and boho sunglasses that just work out perfectly.
If you think the big brand’s crochet dress is too commercial, don’t forget you can dig out some distinctive handmade pieces from Etsy!
I got one from there and I get loads of compliments whenever I wear it.
BIG LOVE.
5. DRESS ALL-WHITE LIKE A GREEK GODDESS
With the crowd who wear all striking neon and bright tones, showing up in a sleek dreamy white dress is how you grab people’s eyeballs even at the wildest party.
When it comes to the white monochrome look, there’s no better timing to try out the one-in-a-lifetime Ancient Greek goddess look.
Find yourself a white one-shoulder flowy midi dress and cinch your waist with a thin brown belt, this is such a refreshing outfit to look at.
If you want to take this killer look to another level, throw yourself a green-gold olive wreath, and now you look impeccable.
This is a perfect blend of the Greek goddess and hot girl vibes. Anyone? 🔥
6. GO FESTIVE WITH TIE-DYE SHIRTS
Figuring out some cool things to do with your girlfriends before Coachella? What about DIY the tie-dye shirts together for some fun time?
To be honest, I was never a fan of tie-dye shirts as I just think the colors are too bold to deal with.
But now, I must say the latest tie-dye shirts are exceptional.
With the darling pastel hues and light shades, it just freshens up the playful look with a subtle tint of elegance.
A lilac tie-dye co-ord set? HELL YES.
7. GET A BILLOWY LOOK WITH KIMONO
Listen to my advice and you will thank me later: always bring outerwear with you to the festival.
While Coachella is super hot (89°) in the daytime, let’s not forget it’s in the desert area and the temperature can drop drastically at night to unseasonably 58°.
So yes, you better bring a poncho or kimono with you.
And if you want to make your poncho a statement piece, reach for the floor-length one for a diva look.
8. WHEN IN DOUBT, GO ALL BLACK
Can you wear black to Coachella? Absolutely!
To give the look a stylish twist, wearing a black sports bra with a coordinated sheer top is how you give out spiciness in black.
If you want a dash of gothic romance, a black lace cape can never be too whimsical for the music fest.
9. WEAR WHATEVER YOU WANT AS A PLUS-SIZE LADY
You may want to roll your eyes now but my advice to all my curvy ladies is to wear WHATEVER you want.
I mean, it’s Coachella, and isn’t this the time to NOT give a damn about what people think and dress in what you truly love?
So let’s throw on your favorite bold hues and leopard print dress and look as fierce as ever.
If you really want something forgiving, I will always suggest a sheer cape overlay for a touch of coverage.
10. OPT FOR BOOTS AND SNEAKERS FOR COACHELLA
When it comes to footwear for Coachella, flip flops and high heels are a big Nono.
Unless you are bringing them for photo-taking purposes, they shouldn’t exist at this fashionable fest at all.
As you will probably walk around the flat, grassy, and muddy grounds all day long, opt for something comfortable like chunky boots and platform sneakers that can never go wrong.
Last reminder, when in pain, go bare feet.
You won’t be the only one.
This is so random… BUT
hey ladies, why not quickly do an affirmation and feel instantly better?
This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU!
Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.
Ready? Here we go.
I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.
Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.
Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.
I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.
It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.
My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.
I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.
I AM perfect imperfection.
What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).
Please help me pass the body positivity message in your community. #womenhelpwomen
Alright, now keep on reading!
