Coachella trends have been piling on year after year. Initially, boho style with fringe, flower crowns, and flash tattoos were essentials for the first festival of the season, but much is changing. Although LA Fashion Week could never hold a candle to New York Fashion Week, some say that Coachella fashion got it right for trends, coining it the better fashion week for the west coast.
Tons of brands flock to the music festival to launch summer trends. Brands such as Revolve host some of the biggest kick off parties with the who’s who of the Internet to show off what they call “cool.” So just what are the essential items that one may bring to Coachella?
Here is what we think:
VI Derm SPF 50+ $30
Let’s face it — we’re not getting any younger, and people of all ages attend Coachella. There is minimal shade on the field, and we are all fighting for it. That being said, come to Coachella prepared. If you are going to step out of that Air BnB, step out prepared. Keep your skin hydrated and protected. A useful tip from Celebrity Makeup Artist, Spencer Barnes is to take your SPF and mix it in with your foundation. This will ensure protective coverage all day as long as you reapply when necessary. We Recommend the VI Derm SPF 50+ due to its water resistant capabilities.
Joico InstaTint $9.99
Come on, we all pack something that will be bright and fun for Coachella. We Recommend Joico’s new InstaTint! This temporary color spray will bring out your trendy side without the commitment of actually dying your hair. Spray on that pop of color, and wash it away the minute you shower. Genius!
Converse $60
Bohemian sandals are a Coachella must for most. You could be wearing the Stuart Weitzman Grecian sandals that every Kardashian has, or the latest sandal splurge from Forever 21 that came in tan, black, or white. Either way, they do not look comfortable enough to be spending 12 hours on grass or dust all day. We recommend the Chuck Taylor Converse. These classic sneakers go with any outfit. They look stylish, chic, and playful with a maxi dress, skinny jeans, and jean shorts.
AJ Crimson – Chasing Saturday $18.50
Contouring is very important and so is the Kylie Lip Kit, but truthfully you could party hop and hit the fields with just subtle makeup and still look fabulous at Coachella. Try a bright, vibrant color on your lips to dress up your casual festival makeup. We recommend Chasing Saturday by AJ Crimson — the color is vibrant with a silky matte finish.
Amuse Society’s Sakura Dress $50-$75
Most of the year, we are looking for the sexy standout dress, but during festival season it is always nice to have that dress. The dress that makes you feel youthful, childlike, playful, and romantic all at the same time. The Amuse Society dresses are beachy and beautiful and there are so many styles that are perfect for Coachella, you really can not go wrong.
Top Shop Moto Shorts $50
With all the damn parties giving away free t-shirts, you really need not bring anything else but your jean shorts. You seem to always be living in them for three days. Now where can you go to pick literally every jean short trend possible? Top Shop is the answer.
Mophie Juice Pack Reserve $59.95
How else will you document all those sunsets? How else will you take selfies on every ferris wheel in site? How else will you Snapchat your favorite party? There is no better mobile charging device other than the Mophie. This will keep your phone charged an extra four hours, plus provide advanced power and protection for your iPhone.
American Made Supply Co Full Zip Hoodie $60
The desert can be hot or cold, but it is quite terrible when those winds pick up. Grab a lightweight hoodie that has a classic vibe to it. The American Made Supply Company has the Terry Full Zip which is slim and perfect over any outfit.
