Coachella is the best place to experiment with trends and wear the freshest and or coolest looks that you can put together. A mistake that people often make is dressing for a rave instead of a festival. Don’t worry because I have come up with 15 trendy Coachella outfits to rock at this year’s festival!
Whatever you do, you don’t want your friends to show up your looks or wear too “dated” outfits to Coachella. That’s why anything leopard print works in your favor. Leopard print is a fresh trend that has made its way back from the early 2000s and can look sleek when paired with the right pieces.
Matching 2 piece sets have always been a chic look, and they’ve only come back in the past year or so. A two-piece top and bottom is the best way to look casual, comfortable, and put together, which is essential for this event. You want whatever you bring into the field of the festival to make a statement and be ready for anything!
Star patterns have come into the mainstream, but not so much that they’re overdone. Stars make a simple and versatile look that is sure to make you look like the coolest chick in the park. They can be found in chokers, on mesh tops, on tights (though I don’t recommend tights for the festival) or even belts and fanny packs. Stars look good on practically anyone and add a hint of mystery to your style. They’re the best way to blend in and stand out at the same time!
Crochet crop tops bring elevation and complexity to a simple and boring crop top. The knit is exceptionally intricate because you would always expect to see knit tops in the winter and simple cotton in the summer. The possibilities are endless, with a crochet look and come in many different styles and colors. Whether you choose high neck crochet or a halter or a regular spaghetti tank pair it right and look effortlessly trendy at this year’s festival.
If you told me that fanny packs were going to be cool five years ago, I would have laughed in your face, but here I am, saying that they’re a fresh element that you must include in your Coachella attire. It turns out when fanny packs are done right with the right outfits, I don’t mind them so much I applaud anyone who dares to wear this look.
You have to be choosey when picking out your pack, it needs to be able to be paired with most things, it has to have a fresh design, but if done right, it becomes a priceless accessory. Not many things can pull off the cool and functional label, but fanny packs, when done right, are the perfect addition to an outfit. Keep all your essentials in one place without the weight of a purse and add a trendy accessory to all of Coachella outfits with a simple fanny pack.

At an event where people are trying to look both classy and provocative at the same time, the best way to push the envelope is with a bodysuit. A bodysuit is cool, comfortable, and wearable for any body type. A bodysuit is slimming and tight in just the right places and can bring a cute outfit to the next level. Pair a trendy bodysuit with a light denim skirt, or shorts and make your friends envious of your carefully chosen Coachella outfit. Bodysuits can dress you up or down but will always have your back for making you look extra photogenic!

Long skirts have made a comeback and are a stylish way to dress up a simple Coachella outfit. By selecting the right fabric and pattern, a flowy skirt with booties will make a statement in the best way. It can also make you look leggy and give the illusion of a tall figure. If you aren’t a fan of long skirts, you can get a mid-length silk skirt or mini flowy silk skirt with a subtle pattern to add the same romantic look.

A chain belt is a great accessory to go with anything, say you have a long romantic silk skirt pairing with a tee, docs, and a chain belt is a perfect collaboration of classy and trendy. This can transform any average look into a high fashion photo-ready outfit. A chain belt is an excellent buy for Coachella but also everyday wear. You can pair it on top of a regular belt to attract more attention and to your waist or your bottoms. Get a chain belt to ensure a trendy look at this year’s Coachella!
Whether it be a dress or a top or even a skirt, sheer pieces will create a very intricate look. It can also be the perfect combination of modest and provocative. You will need a cute bralette or under piece with attractive fabric, pattern, or design. The sheer piece will highlight the part of your body that you wish to include it on, so if it is solid, make sure that whatever you wear underneath is extra cute!

Oversized denim is a very cool and complimentary trend for any look you bring to the festival! This look can mean a large denim jacket or mom jeans or paper bag shorts. Since it will likely be hot at Coachella wearing light wash denim is probably your best bet, denim is heavy, but who says it has to be real denim? It could be fake denim with an authentic look to it. I suggest wearing a large light wash denim jacket with a dark long silk skirt or with a classy dress to add a little bit of edge to an otherwise classy look.

Odds are you will probably decide to wear something sheer that requires the right undergarments to bring your look do the next level. Think of it like wearing a swimsuit; you want the right cuts and colors that highlight your body the best way possible. It might be cool to wear a sheer black top with a leopard print bralette. You want whatever you wear underneath to be attractive and illuminate the best parts of your figure without wearing something neon. A sexy undergarment can make or break your Coachella.

Booties are cute and can make you look effortlessly leggy without wearing full-on stilettos at the festival. Instead of opting for the regular black looking booties, add a bit of flair to your look by picking a bootie with an equestrian look or maybe a pattern. Booties are a cool accessory to pair with whatever outfits you decide to wear at the festival and home as well!
One thing you need to know if you’re a first time visitor at Coachella is that it’s very dusty. You’ll likely see that many people, even celebrities, are wearing masks or bandanas to keep the dust out of their faces. If you can make a bandana a cute accessory for your outfit and still use it to be functional to save your breath, you’ll be able to make the best out of the event!

Whether it be on your hair, your highlighter, or your forehead glitter is an essential part of Coachella. For a hair look buns are the way to go, you can do a half up half down bun, a messy bun, or a double space bun, buns are a very trendy hairdo. No other hairstyle will say Coachella quite like a bun. Whatever bun hair you choose, make sure that you add glitter to your hair or makeup look. Add hair glitter and face glitter to your look for the best additional accessory.
Fringe is a charming way to add some spunk to whatever look you choose! Being in the desert, you can’t go wrong with an equestrian theme, and fringe is the way to go. Fringe can elevate any look from crop tops, skirts, or even fringe bodysuits. Fringe is the way to go at this year’s Coachella! This is one of our favorite Coachella outfits!
