Coachella music festival kicks off this weekend, with TWO weekends to look forward to on April 12-14 and April 19-21. That means lots of instagram-worthy photos and outfit inspiration to begin the festival season! Last year Coachella attracted tons of stylish celebrities and models, including Kate Bosworth, Venessa Hudgens and Emma Watson, and we can’t WAIT to see who will show up this year! We’re sure there’ll be lots more boho-chic outfits, cut-off shorts, floaty dresses, tomboy boots, sunglasses and funky jewellery.
Almost 200 acts will play across 6 stages over the two weekends; you can see the lineup and set times for Coachella 2013 here.
Whether you need Coachella 2013 fashion ideas, or you want to inject some carefree festival style into your wardrobe, we’ve thrown together some inspiration from last year’s Coachella and this year’s festival lookbooks.
Models at Coachella 2012
Off-duty models are a great source of inspiration for festival fashion. Last year our favourite outfits were worn by Alessandra Ambrosio, Dree Hemingway, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delavigne!
Celebrity Fashion at Coachella 2012
Coachella 2012 was teeming with celebrities, including Katy Perry, Fergie, Lily Collins, Rihanna, Lauren Conrad, Paris Hilton, Elijah Wood and Joshua Jackson. Our votes for the most stylish celebrities go to Emma Watson, Vanessa Hudgens and Kate Bosworth.
Festival Stores
This year many stores and brands are focusing on festival-inspired fashion and trends. Free People have launched a Festival Shopwith all sorts of goodies including jewellery, boho clothing, tents and headdresses. We really like the
Spell and the Gypsy Collective Dreamweaver Crossbody bag and the
Gypsy Junkies Mimi Fringe Tunic.
We also love Nasty Gal’s Festival Shop and the Valley Girl Lookbook, featuring “tripped-out prints, free flowing dresses and go-anywhere boots”. Definitely great looks for Coachella 2013!
Coachella 2013 Fashion Tips & Predictions
- Cross body bags- At festivals you want your hands free for dancing, so wear a leather or suede cross-body bag with fringes for the ultimate festival look.
- Effortless style- Coachella festival fashion is all about looking effortless. Even if you’ve spent weeks planning your outfit, it’s all about looking stylish but carefree!
- Practical Footwear- Be practical about your footwear! Leave the heels at home as you’ll be walking across fields and there’s nothing stylish about looking uncomfortable! Instead opt for low platforms, Isabel Marant high-top sneakers, Converse or tomboy black boots with buckles.
- Crop Tops- This year we’re expecting to see a lot of crop tops with shorts, and floaty white dresses with chunky boots. Maxi-dresses not so much.
