Festival fashion has always been about making a statement, but some trends are best left in the past. Remember the good old days of flower crowns and dip-dyed denim? We hate to break it to you, but certain Coachella staples are starting to feel more costume-y than a cool-girl outfit. If you want to keep your festival looks fresh as ever, it’s time to retire these “outdated” trends and make room for something new.
Scroll on to discover 7 Coachella and festival trends that were once everything to the fashion community, but have since fallen out of style.
1. Studded Denim Shorts
Etsy
One Of A Kind High Waisted Studded Shorts
Studded denim shorts were everywhere in the early 2010s, thanks to festival fashion legends like Kylie Jenner and Vanessa Hudgens. They were truly so edgy, but the excessive embellishments have since fallen out of style.
Levi's
Levi's Baggy Dad Jorts
If you want to go the denim route for a festival ‘fit, you’re better off rocking high-waisted designs or baggy jorts for a more current feel.
Urban Outfitters
Silence + Noise Mona Studded Shoulder Bag
To channel the good old days of festival fashion, you could totally bulk up your Coachella ‘fits with cute studded accessories like hats or purses!
2. Combat Boots
Amazon
Amazon Essentials Lace-Up Combat Boots
Combat boots – you know the ones! They were once the go-to footwear for grungy festival looks, but along with not being super practical for all-day wear, they just add an unnecessarily bulky vibe.
Tecovas
Tecovas The Beth Boots
Instead, cowgirl boots are the “it” shoe to wear to festivals like Coachella. They’re way more comfortable and go with everything from denim shorts to flowy mini dresses!
3. Fringe Tank Tops
Etsy
Fringe Beaded Tie Dye Top
Remember when everyone and their mothers were chopping up their tank tops with fringe hems? We definitely participated in this festival-inspired trend, even tying little plastic beads onto the strands. Oh, take us back!
Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters Zolli Embroidered Open-Back Fringe Halter Top
Fringe tank tops were most certainly a symbol of the boho aesthetic that was so big in the 2010s, but they’ve now been eclipsed by sleeker styles.
Free People
We The Free Fringe Out Vegan Suede Jacket
If you still want to embrace the Coachella nostalgia at your next festival, try out a fringy poncho or jacket or a purse for something a little more low-key.
4. Flower Crowns
Etsy
Sun Flower Headband
Nothing screams ‘early Coachella’ more than flower crowns, but this trend came and went so quick. Flower crowns became so overused that they became cliché – LOL.
Free People
Free People So Silk Bandana
Luckily, you can still achieve the carefree vibe without having to put one on! Opt for chicer hair accessories like hair clips, bandanas, or bows. Plus, braided hairstyles can totally replace the need for anything excessive.
5. Gladiator Sandals
DSW
Vintage Foundry Pruitt Sandals
Oh gosh, we totally regret that these were even a fashion trend. Gladiator sandals – especially the knee-high, lace-up versions – were huge at one point, but they’ve since lost their appeal due to their impracticality. Not only are they hard to walk in, they take literal years to put on and take off, and can cause weird tan lines if you’re standing out in the sun for a festival.
Teva
Teva Flatform Mevia Sandals
These days, chunky platform sandals or cowboy boots are more the norm when it comes to festival fashion.
6. Crochet Dresses
ASOS
ASOS Monki Crochet Knitted Mini Dress
While crochet absolutely still has a place in festival fashion, the fully-crocheted maxi and mini dresses that were once all the rage now feel a wee bit overdone – and too closely tied to the ever-popular boho aesthetic of the past decade.
Urban Outfitters
Motel Fulvia Ruffle Trim Slip Mini Dress
Instead, rock some sheer mesh dresses, flowy slip dresses, or lace-trimmed pieces that offer a more modern take on lightweight festival dressing.
7. Tie-Dye Everything
Los Angeles Apparel
Los Angeles Apparel Tie Dye Baby Rib Halter Top
Tie-dye was another huge festival trend. From shirts to shorts, everything was seemingly covered in the pattern around the 2010s. The visually heavy prints now feel pretty costume-like, compared to today’s more-refined festival fashion. Earthy tones and minimalist patterns feel more appropriate for today’s trends.

We already know that Netflix's Sirens is all about "socialites, scandal, and power struggles" (Gossip Girl, anyone?), but the streamer finally just announced when we can watch the new show, and it's even sooner than we hoped. In addition to confirming its early summer release date, we also have a first look at stars Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore, and Kevin Bacon — and it makes me want to watch the show even more than I already did. (And considering the show is produced by Margot Robbie, I already really wanted to watch it). Here's your first look at Netflix's new dark comedy.
Keep reading for the first look at Sirens, coming to Netflix May 22, 2025.
'Sirens' is an "explosive" look at power.
Netflix
In Sirens, Devon (Meghann Fahy) is worried about her sister Simone (Milly Alcock). Or, more specifically, Simone's way-too-close relationship with her boss, socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). When Devon decides enough is enough, she shows up to set Simone straight, unaware the "explosive" Labor Day weekend at Michaela's "lavish beach estate" will change everything.
"Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class," the show's official logline says. And you know what? That makes for some great TV. The show is executive produced by LuckyChap's Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie, as well as Colin McKenna.
And the 'Sirens' cast makes it a standout series.
Netflix
In the Sirens first look, we see Meghann Fahy as Devon, armed with what looks like a fruit basket and a scowl. Here's the full Sirens cast list:
- Meghann Fahy as Devon DeWitt: Simone's concerned and persistent older sister.
- Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell: a mysterious philanthropist & animal activist and Simone's boss.
- Milly Alcock as Simone DeWitt: Devon's witty younger sister who works as Michaela's personal assistant.
- Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell: Michaela's billionaire husband.
- Glenn Howerton as Ethan Corbin III: the Kells' wealthy, if indulgent, bachelor neighbor
- Bill Camp as Bruce DeWitt: Devon and Simone's dad who's dealing with a devastating diagnosis.
- Felix Solis as Jose: the manager, gardener, and head of security of Cliff House.
- Josh Segarra as Raymond: Devon's on-again-off-again boyfriend.
- Trevor Salter as Jordan: the very handsome captain of Ethan's yacht.
- Britne Oldford as Missy: the Kells' seasonal housekeeper.
- Lauren Weedman as Patrice: the Kells' strictly-business personal chef.
- Jenn Lyon as Cloe: the meanest member of "The Fates."
- Erin Neufer as Lisa: a passionate, zealous part of "The Fates" trio.
- Emily Borromeo as Astrid: the ditzy third member of "The Fates."
Netflix
And Julianne Moore's Michaela is all grace and poise, especially at home in her lavish estate. “This story has a lot of teeth,” series creator Molly Smith Metzler says in an interview with Tudum. “There are real moments of drama, and it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It’s a true dark comedy — and it’s got a Greek mythology vibe.”
“Julianne’s just the dream for this role because she does feel ethereal,” she continues. “She’s from another kingdom. She is not a normie.”
Here's when you can watch 'Sirens.'
Netflix
Sirens will stream on Netflix starting May 22, 2025.
How many episodes does Sirens on Netflix have?
Netflix
Sirens has five episodes total, all of which will be an hour long.
Where was Sirens filmed?
Netflix
Sirens was announced in February 2024 and began filming in the North Fork of Long Island, New York over the summer of 2024.
Are you excited to watch Sirens this summer? Stay tuned for the latest news and read up on why Apple TV's New Thriller Show Cape Fear Will Hold You Over Until Big Little Lies Season 3.
Much like its main characters, The Buccaneers hit the Apple TV+ scene with flash and fervor. We fell in love with the St. George sisters, longing to see them find romance and (more importantly) true happiness by any means necessary. We embraced each girl in all their messy, shocking, period drama glory. We watched until the very end, desperately wanting more! And after the popularity of the first season, it's no wonder the network renewed this dreamy show for a second season.
Keep reading for the latest news. (Note: This contains spoilers about season one's finale!)
Here's everything we know about The Buccaneers season 2, coming to Apple TV+ this summer.

The Buccaneers Season 2 Plot
We shouldn't be so pressed to discover easter eggs about season 2 of The Buccaneers, but we are! Thankfully Kristine Frøseth revealed the ways she differs from her character Nan St. George and what viewers can expect to see. Though Nan is often seen wearing corsets, Kristine prefers a more casual look. "She's very constricted," the actress said of her character (via People).
In terms of what to expect this season, Kristine didn't reveal season 2's plot (sorry fans). She did say, however, the characters won't be in close proximity like they were in season 1: "I think our characters just are a little bit more separated so we're not seeing each other as much. Last time, we all lived in the same building and it felt like college, and now our storylines are a little bit more spread out...I think that's the biggest change."
How does Katherine Jakeways feel about the series' renewal?

We had the opportunity to speak with series creator Katherine Jakeways,and she shared her enthusiasm about creating such a riveting period drama. "We're really excited for people to sort of get to know the world of it and meet these women and experience the female friendship of it," she says, hoping viewers "come out of it going, 'Wow these do feel like people that I know."
Now that The Buccaneers is renewed for another season, she told Apple TV+, "We know season one left audiences desperate to know what’s next for our buccaneers, so I’m absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to explore the further adventures of this smart, joyful, messy sisterhood.”
What did Apple TV+'s Europe Creative Director say about the new upcoming season?
Apple TV+
In the same press release, Jay Hunt admitted, "...we’re excited to be working with Katherine Jakeways and The Forge again on the next adventure for Nan and her friends." If you ask us, it sounds season two of The Buccaneers is off to a great start!
What happened in the season finale of The Buccaneers?
Apple TV+
Viewers watch as Nan St. George took a step back in order for her sister Jinny to have a chance to be happy. This leaves her in the position to move forward with her marriage to Theo, Duke of Tintagel, but it appears she her birth mother may be closer than she realized. Our other characters — like Mabel and Honoria — are left to decide how they want to live their lives as well.
It was a shocking cliffhanger and we can see why fans are thirsty for more.
Where can I watch "The Buccaneers" Season 1?
Apple TV+
All eight episodes of The Buccaneers are available to stream on Apple TV+. Just be sure to bake a few warm dessert recipes and grab a glass of wine to have while you binge watch them.
