It’s festival season. Aside from Paris, Milan, and New York Fashion Week, this time of year is arguably the Super Bowl of the fashion world. Coachella is one of those music events where you can’t really go wrong with your style — crochet, sporty, flowery, and fringe are just a few examples of staple looks from past years. As Instagram is about to be flooded with festival pictures, we put together some epic beauty and fashion predictions that will get you and your friends ready for the hot desert sun. Let’s get into it!
Denim On Denim

We may have said goodbye to jean skirts in the past, but it seems that denim is here to stay. Queen of realistic TikTok hauls, Remi Bader, even commented on the trend in a recent interview, claiming that it’s comeback shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Bandanas

Bandanas (and similar handkerchief shirts) have always been a festival outfit go-to. A study from Klarna actually noticed a 152% increase in bandana purchases within the last three months. If only we could figure out how to incorporate it into our hairstyle like the Pinterest girlies!

Hair Pearls

We’ve got mermaid vibes going on this year. Pearl hair clips (like these from Etsyand Lulu's) are such a fun and simple accessory to include in any hairstyle—especially a sleek back updo or some beachy waves. Plus, they aren’t usually that expensive, with adhesive pearl stickers on Amazon going for approximately $7!

Y2K Everything

The year 2000 has found its way back into 2023. The nostalgic Y2K look is inspired by icons like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, with brightly colored (almost neon) shirts, low rise jeans, and adorable pleated skirts. Although, our eyes immediately gravitate towards some cool vintage sunglasses, like this Amazon 4-pack that can go with any outfit.

"Euphoria" Makeup

Crochet, Obviously

Crochet everything is pretty much what Coachella is all about. Besides the fact that it's an easy outfit to opt for in the desert heat, the crochet trend is super cute and extremely versatile. You can grab matching sets, pants, hats, dresses, or pair a crochet top (like this one from Princess Polly) with a flowy maxi skirt or denim shorts. Klarna even saw a 370% purchase for crochet in the last 3 months, so that should tell you all you need to know about the look.

Hollister has such a great crochet collection, with this V-neck Halter top being one of our favorites!
Braids and *More* Braids

With the Y2K fashion trend comes some cool braids. We predict all sorts of braid looks at the festival, like french braids with two mini braids styled in the front, boxer braids, or mini braids weaved throughout the hair. Any way you slice it, it’s sure to be a hairstyle fit for Coachella! You can even add some rainbow rubber hands band for an extra pop of color, with Amazon selling a huge tub for $7.

Get ready to yeehaw, because cowboy fashion is no stranger to the Coachella world. Hats and boots (like these stunning shoes from Tecovas) will for sure be making a grand appearance, with fringe shirts and shorts being the stars of the show. If you are visiting this year’s fest on a budget, we would recommend checking Amazon for some adorable cowboy finds.
