Coachella 2015: Must-Have Fashion Staples For The Annual Music Festival


The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is kicking off on Friday, April 10. The annual music event is where fashion and music worlds collide. In fact, “festival fashion” has become a thing because of Coachella. The perfect festival fashion look is a combination of hippie meets hipster, according to Tucson.com.

Don’t know what to wear to Coachella? The news source prompts readers to Google “Vanessa Hudgens Coachella.” You’ll get an idea of the types of outfits she’s worn to the music festival. You’ll see why she’s been dubbed as the “Queen of Coachella.” Hudgens’ looks will also help you put together your one-of-a-kind look.

Social media has also tapped into Coachella and festival fashion. The main audience uses Instagram, which means that people can see the fashions at the music festival no matter where they live in the world. Lisa Sugar, founder of POPSUGAR.com, talked about the impact social media has on Coachella.

“Social media has had a huge influence on everyone getting involved. Millennials love experiences, and Coachella is just one great, big party. It’s a huge experience for this audience to really get excited about. They plan for days what they’ll be wearing… So if a brand can offer them something organic, they’re engaged.”

Coachella has also inspired its own clothing line at H&M. If you don’t know what to wear, just check out the Swedish retailer online or at one of its 3,000 locations. The store introduced its H&M Loves Coachella collection last month. H&M has also been a Coachella sponsor for the past six years. The store will have an interactive installation at the music festival that includes a “360-degree Selfie Station” and exclusive products, not found in stores.

E! Online also included a list of staples every celebrity will be wearing this year. The list includes tassels, culottes, wide-brim boater hats, relaxed fit t-shirts, bold geometric prints, silver belts, and 70s flared pants. As you can see, the Coachella look should be easy and breezy, not costumey and try-to-hard. You can also check out the article to see how you can get your hand on some of these trends.
