How To Dress the Look for Coachella 2025
Coachella season has officially arrived—and with it, the perfect excuse to unleash your inner fashion icon. Held in the sun-drenched desert of Indio, California, this year’s festival spans two weekends—April 11–13 and April 18–20—and promises not only unforgettable music but also a full-blown runway of self-expression.
With a star-studded lineup that includes music legends like Lady Gaga, Post Malone, Charli XCX, and Megan Thee Stallion, this year’s vibes call for nothing less than fearless fashion. Think bigger, bolder, and brighter than ever. The desert is your catwalk—here’s how to own it.
Desert Essentials Meet Festival Glam
Before you think fringe, feathers, or mesh—start with the basics. Coachella is notoriously hot during the day and breezy by night. Prioritize breathable fabrics like cotton, mesh, crochet, and linen. Layer smartly—opt for bikini tops under sheer dresses, or lightweight button-downs tied over a bralette. It’s all about comfort without compromising the vibe. Here’s where to shop:
● Poster Girl — For futuristic fits and sculpted silhouettes
● Motel Rocks — Affordable and playful with bold patterns and bodycon style
● Rat & Boa — Sheer, slinky dresses that scream desert goddess
● SKIMS — Sleek and seamless for layering comfort
1. Metallics and Holographics
Shiny fabrics and reflective sunglasses are making a major comeback. Channel your inner popstar.
2. Cowboy Core
Western boots, fringe skirts, and wide-brimmed hats aren’t going anywhere. All you need is to add a rhinestone-studded twist and you’re ready!
3. Sheer Everything
Mesh tops, fishnet dresses, and barely-there layering lets you breathe and show skin in all the right ways.
4. Vintage Vibes All the Way
Think ‘90s cargo pants, bandanas, and tiny sunglasses. Thrift it or fake it—just make it feel lived in.
Footwear That Goes the Distance
Yes, you want to look hot—but your feet need love too. Stick with stylish-yet-practical shoes like combat boots, chunky sneakers, or broken-in cowboy boots. Heels might look cute, but by the
end of the night? Not worth the dust and sore toes.
Coachella isn’t about blending in—it’s about standing out in whatever feels authentic. Mic high and low, thrift and luxe, minimal and maximal. Don’t follow trends—set them, and own them.
See you under the Indio sky, glittered up and glowing.
