What to Wear to Coachella 2025: The Ultimate Outfit Guide
It’s festival season, and once again, the age-old question of “What should I wear?” is on every ticket holder’s mind. We don’t blame you—festival wear undoubtedly operates on another level, and Coachella is one of the biggest music and fashion events of the year. As a day-to-night, weekend-long event, a versatile outfit and comfortable shoes are must-haves, yet it’s often difficult to find the balance between style and practicality. Lucky for you, we’ve come prepared with the hottest looks to blow the Palm Springs sands away.
1. Boho Chic: The Latest Revival
While we might not be going back to the flower crowns, owl necklaces, and chevron prints that dominated the 2014 fashion scene, who says we can’t revive boho chic in another way? In fact, the bohemian aesthetic is what arguably defines festival culture, and Coachella wouldn’t be Coachella without it. This season, embrace everything undone and laidback. Think mesh and lace pieces in frilly textures and billowy silhouettes. Start with a plain tank paired with ruffled micro shorts before layering on a sheer slip and accessorizing with chunky belts and other statement jewelry. Finish off the look with a pair of slouchy suede boots, and you’re all set.

2. Desert Princess: Techwear’s Sandy Cousin
With the release and subsequent popularity of the sci-fi film Dune, casual concertgoers and raveheads alike seem to be taking inspiration from the box office hit for their festival attire. Distressed and asymmetrical pieces are in, with accessories like waist chains, hair charms, and arm and leg warmers being dialed up to the max. Consider pairing a simple bralette or a hooded cowl-neck top with a crochet or asymmetric skirt. Remember, eclecticism is key for the desert princess—layer your necklaces, stack your bracelets, and accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!

3. Classic Cowgirl: Taking On the Wild West
A weekend out in the American West calls for a cowgirl-inspired outfit. Opt for a lace-up corset paired with low-rise shorts, or suit up in a denim romper for ease and simplicity. To successfully tackle the vast, sandy landscape, a brown color palette complete with a chunky concho belt and your favorite pair of cowboy boots is the way to go.

4. Cool, Dark, & Edgy: The Rockstar Way
Nothing screams cool-girl more than an all-black ensemble that stands out in the arid, yellow terrain. Studs, mesh tops, lace overlays, and edgy silver jewelry are classic rockstar-style essentials, while dark leathers and metallic textures add the perfect futuristic touch. Turn boho chic into rocker chic and wear a sheer slip, or go sleek and feminine by pairing a halter top with a mini skirt or micro shorts. For footwear, platform or foldover boots are your best bet—just make sure they’re comfortable enough to keep you up all night long.

5. Street Style: From Concrete Jungles to Festival Grounds
More of a comfort-over-everything kind of gal? Simple yet stylish streetwear might be the look for you. There's something so effortlessly cool about a tiny bralette styled with baggy, low-rise bottoms (see: Charli D’Amelio’s 2024 Coachella outfit). Put on a matching headscarf along with your coziest sneakers—whether that’s a chunky athletic pair or flat kicks—and you’re good to go. Bonus points for sporty sunnies or a statement purse to tie it all together. And remember, the desert gets chilly at night, so bring extra layers (like a cardigan or cropped hoodie) for warmth!
