12 Cute Outfit Ideas for Coachella That Are Perfectly On-Trend

Coachella is upon us, which means you are probably asking yourself the age-old question, “What do I wear?” As people are getting ready to flock to the California desert, it’s getting even more apparent that these two weekends aren’t just about music; it’s also about fashion. And knowing what’s in and what’s out is key to finding the perfect outfit. While cute sunnies and fanny packs are going strong, you might be surprised to find that you won’t find many flower crowns this year. But here are some awesome ideas that will help you put together a signature ensemble.

Madewell Oversized Jean Jacket in Capstone Wash

According to Poshmark, the largest social marketplace for fashion, denim will be the most sought-after look this festival season, especially by brands like Levi’s and Madewell. And this slightly faded jacket is perfect for looking effortlessly cool during the day and keeping you warm at night. Remember, the desert gets chilly — so remember your mom’s advice and bring layers!

Sacred Hawk Embellished Baker Boy Hat

In place of the quintessential flower crown is the newsboy or baker boy hat. These cute caps will keep the sun off your face and complete your totally cool, ’90s rocker look.

Electric Mix Tape Sunglasses

Coachella is about color! Trendy and colorful sunnies have been trendy for a couple of years, and they’re still a festival staple. Everyone needs the perfect sunglasses, and this pair with melanin-infused lenses will help protect your eyes while you’re partying in the desert.

Lulu’s Day in the Sun Cream Striped Cover Up

Though the trends may change a little from year-to-year, you can still opt for a Coachella classic like a light, breathable dress in a neutral color. Dress it up with some accessories or wear a colorful bralette with it to make your outfit super unique. The best outfits are the ones that aren’t too overdone.
