Heading to Coachella? The ultimate guide for what to wear to the annual rock fest

We’re only days away from the Coachella Music and Arts festival. 

While there is no dress code for the annual outdoor rock fest, for some, the outfit is just as important as the music itself.

If you’re attending this year’s showcase and don’t know what to wear, you’re in luck! Daily Mail reveals Coachella’s tried-and-true looks to use as inspiration for your ensemble.

Boho babe  

Get ready to strut your gypsy stuff to the mainstage in Alessandra Ambrosio’s go-to Coachella look – bohemian babe.

With the help of the binge-worthy hit show ‘Daisy Jones and The Six,’ the free-spirited fashions of the 1970’s are more popular this season than ever before.

To channel you’re inner hippie, opt for the following:

Flowy fabrics: Bohemian style is all about lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen that will keep you cool in the desert heat. Choose maxi dresses, skirts, kimonos and wide-leg pants for the ultimate flower child look.

Retro patterns: Psychedelics and floral prints are bohemian classics. Choose a printed maxi dress, bell bottoms or crop top in a colorful print and you’re groovy, man!

Fringe: Fringe detail lends playful movement to your look.  Add it to your outfit with a fringed vest, fringe bag or long tassel earrings. 

Oversize sunglasses: Sunglasses are essential for blocking out the sun and adding a ’70s touch to your look. 

Sandals: Comfortable sandals are a must-have for the annual music festival. Opt for a sturdy pair like gladiator sandals or Birkenstocks to complete your look.

Glam rock 

Glam rock style is a popular choice for concertgoers. To channel your inner rocker, you’ll need:

Metallic pieces: Reflective garments are a rock star staple. Try a leather crop top in a metallic shade or a sequin skirt. For something more subtle, carry a shimmery handbag.

Leather: The desert cools off once the sun goes down. To stay warm top your look with a rock and roll moto jacket.

Combat boots: Doc Marten-style boots will allow you to dance the night away without hurting your feet. Look for a pair in black or a metallic finish for an edgy touch.

Heavy-handed jewelry: Bold bling is the easiest way to look rock-n-roll. Long earrings or a chain-link choker screams ‘I’m with the band.’

Band merch: Wear a band shirt or hoodie of the artist you’re most excited to see.

Dramatic makeup: Complete your ensemble with bold makeup. Think glitter eye-shadow, thick eyeliner and red lipstick.

Sporty girl 

Athleisurewear is practical and comfortable, making it a favorite of Coachella concert goers. To nail athleisure for the grounds, you’ll need: 

Workoutwear: Sports bras, leggings, and gym shorts in bold colors or prints will keep you cool and comfy throughout the weekend.

Wind-breaker: Tie a hooded windbreaker around your waste for unexpected sprinkles.

Sneakers: Choose comfy sneakers that will allow you to walk around the festival grounds all day.  A pair featuring a bold color or embellishment will add interest to your outfit.

Backpack: Carry all your essentials in a lightweight backpack for hands-free convenience.

Cowgirl chic 

Western style has become increasingly popular thanks to the hit show ‘Yellowstone’, and the Old American aesthetic is a desert staple. 

Here are the best ways to channel your inner cowgirl:

Denim: Denim is the easiest way to pull off cowgirl chic. A pair of denim cutoff shorts look great with a plaid shirt or a peasant top. Or top a flowy dress with a denim vest. 

Cowboy boots:  Western doesn’t always need to look rugged. Slip into a pair of embellished boots style them with a short skirt, denim cutoffs or a prairie dress.

Fringe: Fringe is associated with western wear as it was once a functional detail, channeling water off of a cowboy’s clothing.  For a modern twist carry a fringe bag or choose a fringed jacket in a neutral color.

Statement jewelry:  Cowgirl style is not complete without bold jewelry. Opt for Native American pieces like a Concho squash blossom necklace, silver cuff bracelets or turquoise rings. 

Cowboy hat: A hat is a must for the western at heart. Bonus: it will keep your face shaded from the sun.

Bandanas: Bandanas are a classic western accessory that will not only add interest to your look but keep piles of dust out of your nose and mouth. Wear one around your neck, or tie it in your hair or on your belt loop for flair and easy access.

Concho belts: Concho belts are a long-time Navajo tradition that can take your ensemble to the next level. Pair it with denim shorts or over a maxi dress to define your waist.
