Whether you’re a Coachella veteran or a newbie like myself, you have an idea of what to expect like plenty of fringe, models galavanting in string bikinis, and palm trees galore. But what if you want to be comfortable, stylish, and avoid looking like a meme? Read on to see what I packed with me and get inspired for the start of festival season.
Yes, it’s very hot and you’re walking a ton to get from stage to stage. But Coachella is still in a desert and after sundown, it gets chilly quickly. I played it safe and opted for a denim jumpsuit with a strappy back detail and comfortable watermelon pink mules. The jumpsuit was airy enough that I wasn’t too sweaty but it also offered enough coverage for nighttime. Open-toe shoes can be risky since it’s pretty sandy so only wear them if you’re okay with that or if you’re willing to carry wet wipes.
