It’s halfway into March. March Madness is starting, St Patty’s Day celebrations have just ended , and spring has finally sprung, but one other thing, Coachella is approaching. Coachella, although a music festival is known for its wild, and most of the time impractical outfits, that go with the festival. Now that the event is slowly coming up it is time to gather your supplies to create the most unforgettable outfit this year.


Scarves


Due to Coachella being held in a literal desert, scarves are always a staple in most

festival-goers outfits. A versatile item they can be worn around the head, neck, or even arms for a little flare in an outfit.


Sunglasses


Coachella is usually always held in the middle of April in the hot and sunny state of California,

so the natural item for most people to have are sunglasses. Not only are these a practical item for attendees to have, they add statement to any outfit.


Boots


Boots are seen a lot with huge music festival outfits such as this because they are so varied.

Boots come in long sizes, short sizes, black colors, brown colors, red colors, leather, snakeskin, and more. This allows for the shoe to add to the outfit when the rest of it may be plain. There are so many different types of boots that each pair adds something different to the outfit.


Dresses


In many instances boho dresses seem to be the staple when it comes to actual clothing worn at Coachella. Short dresses ensure that the desert environment does not get everywhere (if you know what I mean) and they fit nicely with the other staples listed above. Everything from white dresses to patterned or ruffled dresses will do the trick.


Accessories


In my opinion this is the best part of putting together an outfit, and especially in this instance

many people focus more on the accessories than the actual thing they are wearing. Accessories for this event can range from arm cuffs all the way to hair beads, belts, cowboy hats, chunky jewelry, and purses that fit the occasion. These little things add to the overall whimsy and aesthetic of an outfit and can be easily changed based on who is performing at what time.


To Wrap Up


Although Coachella is a month away, people have started shopping and planning out their

outfits for the annual event. Online, festival-goers are mostly posting about what they are

wearing in preparation for the huge occasion for that reason we have to make sure we do our research when it comes to music festival fashion.
