Festival Fashion – What the Cool Kids Should be Wearing to Coachella 2017

Spread the love

Coachella 2017 is finally upon us, and 100K plus music aficionados, millennials, celebutantes, bloggers, groupies and posers of all shapes and sizes descend upon Indio, California to partake in the annual music festival, and the plethora of offsite branded events. To some, what you wear to Coachella is as important as what band or DJ you plan on seeing, and planning out the perfect desert ready, Boho-chic, day to night ensemble can feel bit daunting.

So, here’s my Style Guide to help the novice festival concertgoer pack the right items and ROCK Coachella 2017.

POOL PARTY PERFECTION

If you are lucky enough to get on the list for one of the many coveted daytime pool parties like Victoria’s Secret Angel Oasis, the POPSUGAR Cabana Club Pool Party or Desert Oasis by FORAY Collective, hosted by Emily Ratajkowski, then you will need your perfect pool party presentation:

THE DJ TENT

If Electronic Dance Music (EDM) is more your speed than Radiohead, then you will most likely be spending your Coachella spinning glow sticks and dancing your ass off in one of the festival’s DJ tents. But ravers beware, it will be pushing 90 plus degrees in the desert so bring lots of water and wear layering pieces so that you can strip down to next to nothing and get your sweat ON.

THE AFTER-PARTY

If you have been to a past Coachella, then you know that it is a 24 hour a day, weekend long, adrenaline ridden entertainment extravaganza… but who needs sleep when there is Gaga, right? Coachella after-parties are everywhere, but the one not to miss, if you can find it, is Brent Bolthouse’s Neon Carnival. It features carnival rides and games, a giant dance floor and pumping music until 4am.
