Every year, glamourous Coachella outfits flood our social media. Bursting with boho style, fabulous fabrics and irresistible patterns, these looks leave us wanting to experiment with free-spirited festival fashion, too! That's why we've created some festival outfit ideas inspired by the unique Coachella clothes we see each April.
So, whether you're heading to the Sunshine State for the big event, wanting to incorporate Coachella style into your UK festival looks, or wondering what to wear for a Coachella-themed party, our Coachella outfits for women can help.
Every year, the Coachella crowd looks just like a rainbow, thanks to all the bursts of colour. Hot pinks, gorgeous greens and serene blues are everywhere.
This isn’t just a statement style choice, though. It’s also very practical. White clothes are far too easy to stain at a messy and muddy festival, while black attracts too much heat under the hot desert sun.
So, when putting together your boho festival clothing, be sure to gravitate toward rich and colourful patterns. Think multicoloured tunics, remarkable printed tops and more! If you need a helping hand, we even have a guide on how to boost your mood with colourful clothes.
Playing with patterns is a must when it comes to a festival look. We love paisley prints and florals for their hippie feel. They’re a superb styling nod to sixties and seventies festival fashion and the festival that started it all—Woodstock!
So, embrace flower power or get groovy with tie-dye in your Coachella outfits. It’ll put you in the partying mood right away.
For a more rock ‘n’ roll look, embrace patterns in the form of graphic printed t-shirts. Pick a tee with a fun slogan and an eye-catching design on the front and wear with denim shorts and trainers for a super simple style that’s all about embracing the fun of festivals.
We love a floaty, flowing fabric in our festival outfits. Just imagine dancing along to your favourite song and feeling your clothes move, swish and sway with you. Not to mention, looser, floatier fabrics will keep you cool as a cucumber in the summer sun.
One of our favourite flowing pieces is the classic maxi dress. A beautiful style that’s also comfy for those long festival days. We also love maxi skirts for their swirling effect. Pair different maxi skirts with loose blouses, and you’ll have festival outfits galore!
Crochet knits are one of our favourite pieces of boho festival clothing, with their rustic texture and refreshing breathability. Pair shorts and a cami top with a longline crochet cover-up for an easy, summery festival style. Or try a slouchy crochet top with a swooshing skirt.
Need to layer up for the cooler festival evenings? A colourful crochet poncho is a sensational statement piece while a crochet cardigan offers a more laid-back option.
Footwear is the part of your festival outfit that requires the most consideration. Leave your favourite stiletto heels at home - you’ll be on your feet throughout the day, and comfort is key to enjoying all the amazing acts you’ll see. That’s why we recommend opting for secure and chunky heels or flat shoes.
Boots are a festival favourite because they offer support and coverage, along with heaps of boho style. Country influence is all over the music we’re enjoying at festivals at the moment, so why not incorporate country style into your festival look, too, with cowboy boots?
We can’t discuss Coachella outfits without talking about accessories. Statement accessories are key to any Coachella look; you’re simply not festival-ready without them!
That being said, festivals are chaotic, so leave your finest jewellery at home so it doesnt get lost. Instead, embrace beaded fashion jewellery which you can layer up for a look that will turn plenty of heads. Add eye-catching earrings with feathered or tasselled elements and a funky headband.
You will, of course, need a bag for all your festival essentials, including suncream, bottles of water and more. This isn’t the time for delicate purses. Large woven tote bags and similarly spacious handbags are needed for your supplies. Choose a bag with tassels, fringing or pom-poms to complete your Coachella look.
Wondering what to wear to a festival here in the UK? You can absolutely bring cool Californian Coachella styling to events like Glastonbury and Camp Bestival!
For British boho festival outfits, layering is key. While many of our festivals take place in summer, UK weather is notoriously unpredictable, so having pieces you can add or remove as needed is a plus.
Choose flowing and free layers, in keeping with boho festival fashion. Crochet and popcorn knit cardigans will keep you snug in style, while our elegant longline kimonos are the epitome of bohemian beauty.
Leather jackets are another fantastic way to layer up your festival style with boho texture mixing. We all associate leather jackets with rock ‘n’ roll edge, making them a perfect piece for a music festival. Plus, they’re easier to wipe clean than most jackets when it comes to festival muck.
British festivals also tend to be muddier than Coachella, so pick bulky boho boots or sturdy trainers as your shoes of choice.
