What To Wear To Coachella In 2024
While festival season is always slower off the mark on Brit soil, over in California, the countdown to Coachella is on. From its alternative rock and indie roots to its boho phase and influencer era, the Coachella aesthetic has been through a lot since the festival’s first year in 1999. Whilst the late ’00s and early-to-mid ’10s saw flower crowns and body jewels saturate the desert landscape, the last few years have ushered in a more stylish (and, in some ways, more relaxed) approach to festival dressing.
This year, after Chloé’s big boho fashion comeback that we saw during Paris Fashion Week, we predict a revival of core bohemian staples and a nod to the runway’s newest trends. Guaranteeing excellent talent, a star-studded guest list and spectacular style, the two-weekend annual event is a breeding ground of new season trends just waiting to take off.
Whether you’re jetting over to take in the festival IRL or if, like me, you just want to live vicariously through some Cochella-worthy outfits, cut your planning time in half and read on to discover the outfits I’ve whipped up that get the Coachella seal of approval.
WHAT TO WEAR TO COACHELLA? TRY THESE 4 CHIC OUTFITS
1. CROCHET DRESS + SUEDE BOOTS
Style Notes: Style a Coachella classic and opt for a relaxed crochet dress with tall suede boots. Bring your look up to date with a trending braided bag and an unexpected pearl necklace for a fresh festival ‘fit you’ll can last all day in. When the sun sets and the weather cools, throw on a denim jacket or a leather layer to stay warm in style.
