What should I wear at Coachella 2025?

This year, the festival vibes are all about enhancing your natural beauty.
Thrift stores are the move for killer deals, and this year's fashion – much like last year – is serving bold, comfy, and totally iconic looks.
Think bohemian desert princess or a toned-down "office siren" aka "corpcore" look.
Here's what's trending to help you stand out in the desert crowd.
- Bottoms: Faux animal prints are everywhere, including micro mini shorts, flowy skirts, or pants. Also, anything flowy is an absolute yes!
- Tops: Keep it cute and breathable – tube tops, button-down collared tanks, metallic or mesh numbers, and knit patterns are taking over the fashion world.
- Shoes: Boots, knee-high or ankle, are such a moment at Coachella. Suede sneakers are also popping off but expect some desert dust. Most importantly, make sure whichever style of shoe you choose is comfy!
- Accessories: Boho belts, vintage shoulder bags, chunky bracelets, rings, and long layered necklaces are a surefire way to turn your style game up. Sunglasses are a must in the California sun, so be sure to bring a cute pair, and maybe a baseball cap or cowboy hat for added protection and extra flair.
Pro tip: Umbrellas aren't allowed in the festivals but small parisols? Totally allowed. They double as a cute prop to level up your 'fit while keeping the sun off you while you're trying to chill out.
We are so pumped! Will we see you there?
