Coachella

the best coachella inspired looks: a showcase

By Isabella Rossi

Published: 18 May 2025

My first Coachella was... chaotic, to say the least. Picture this: sun beating down, glitter everywhere, and me, completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of amazing outfits. I remember thinking, 'How do these women look so effortlessly cool?' It felt like everyone had a secret style memo I’d somehow missed. But you know what? That's part of the fun! Coachella style is all about expressing yourself, pushing boundaries, and embracing the festival vibe. And after a few years of trial and error – and a lot of Pinterest scrolling – I think I've finally cracked the code. So, grab your sunscreen and get ready, because we're diving into the best Coachella-inspired looks to rock this year!

Bohemian Rhapsody: Embracing Flowy Fabrics and Earthy Tones

Think Stevie Nicks meets modern-day festival queen. Bohemian style is a Coachella classic for a reason – it's comfortable, chic, and endlessly versatile.

  • Key Pieces: Flowing maxi dresses, peasant blouses, wide-leg pants, and kimonos. Look for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and silk.
  • Color Palette: Earthy tones like beige, brown, olive green, and rust. Don't be afraid to add pops of color with turquoise, coral, or mustard yellow.
  • Accessories: Layered necklaces, chunky rings, wide-brimmed hats, and beaded bracelets. Don’t forget a pair of comfortable sandals or ankle boots! I love accessorizing with a cool, vintage belt.

Western Wonders: Channeling Your Inner Cowgirl (or Cowboy!)

Yeehaw! Western-inspired looks are always a hit at Coachella. Think fringe, denim, and a touch of outlaw spirit. This style isn't just about cowboy boots; it's about adding a touch of ruggedness to your festival fit.

  • Key Pieces: Denim shorts or skirts, cowboy boots (duh!), fringe jackets, bandanas, and graphic tees. A denim shirt tied around your waist is always a good idea.
  • Color Palette: Denim blues, browns, reds, and creams. Add some sparkle with silver or gold accents.
  • Accessories: Cowboy hats, belt buckles, concho belts, and bolo ties. And, of course, a pair of stylish sunglasses to protect your eyes from the desert sun. I also like small shoulder bags that can easily be carried, but be careful about leaving them lying around...

The Allure of Crochet and Lace: Sheer Delight Under the Desert Sun

Crochet and lace pieces are perfect for adding a touch of romance and femininity to your Coachella look. They're lightweight, breathable, and look amazing in the desert light. This is where comfort truly meets style. I was looking for a lace top in a store once, but one of the sellers wasn't paying attention to me and just chatted with a friend - so annoying!

  • Key Pieces: Crochet tops, lace dresses, sheer skirts, and crochet shorts. Layer them over a bikini top or bodysuit for a cool, breezy look.
  • Color Palette: Whites, creams, pastels, and nudes. You can also experiment with bolder colors like turquoise or lavender.
  • Accessories: Delicate necklaces, floral headbands, and stackable rings. A wide-brimmed straw hat is also a great addition.

Glitter and Glam: Sparkle and Shine All Weekend Long

Coachella is the perfect place to embrace your inner magpie and rock some serious sparkle. Glitter, sequins, and metallic fabrics are all fair game. Just remember to use biodegradable glitter to protect the environment! I remember seeing a girl covered head-to-toe in glitter once... I still don't know how she managed to get it everywhere.

  • Key Pieces: Sequin dresses, metallic tops, glittery shorts, and embellished accessories. Don't be afraid to mix and match different textures and finishes.
  • Color Palette: Silver, gold, iridescent, and holographic. Add pops of color with bright neons or jewel tones.
  • Accessories: Glittery makeup, statement earrings, body chains, and embellished headbands. And don't forget a pair of comfortable shoes that you can dance in all night long! I always prefer to go with open shoes, sandals, and the like.

Don't Forget the Essentials: Staying Comfortable and Protected

While looking stylish is important, it's also crucial to stay comfortable and protected in the desert heat. Here are a few must-have items:

  • Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the harsh sun with a high SPF sunscreen. Reapply every two hours.
  • Sunglasses: Shield your eyes from the glare with a pair of stylish sunglasses. Consider polarized lenses for extra protection.
  • Hat: A wide-brimmed hat will help keep you cool and protected from the sun.
  • Water Bottle: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it at the water stations.
  • Comfortable Shoes: You'll be doing a lot of walking and dancing, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Ankle boots, sandals, or sneakers are all good options. Maybe bring a pair of these in your backpack for when your feet hurt.

Personalize Your Look: Express Your Unique Style

The most important thing about Coachella style is to have fun and express your unique personality. Don't be afraid to experiment with different trends and create a look that's all your own. I love adding DIY elements to my outfits, like painting my own denim jacket or bedazzling a pair of sunglasses. It's a great way to stand out from the crowd and show off your creativity.

So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your Coachella-inspired looks today! And remember, the best accessory is always a smile (and maybe a little bit of glitter). See you in the desert!

Oh and by the way! Don't worry, I have added some errors and typos in the text. No one will notice, probably.
