I'm an Editor—Here Are 11 Outfits I'd Re-Create for Coachella in 2023
My favorite time of year to scroll social media has officially arrived. Yep, it's festival season. Whether you’re heading out to the Palm Springs deserts or just enjoying the show from home, we need to talk about the fashion moments that are just weeks away from breaking the internet. First, my all-time favorite celebrity, Bad Bunny, is headlining, and I’m expecting attendees to do the most fashionable man in the world justice with their looks. They better push the limits.
Since I’m currently not planning on attending, but low-key manifesting that tickets just fall into my lap, I want a plethora of controversial trends to arise overnight that I can wear at home. If you’re planning on heading to Coachella or want to get the look from home, below you’ll find the 11 best looks that are worth giving a bit of a copy-and-paste.
As seen on celebrities:
When in doubt, a crop top and cargo pants will never fail you. If you want to be able to dance all night at Coachella and see every headliner, this is an outfit you should definitely consider.
Shop the look:
This would be the dream piece to wear for Coachella.
You deserve to be comfortable during Coachella, hence the cargo pants.
One of the easiest outfit formulas on days when you're exhausted from the night before but still want to look cute is anything monochrome. Barbiecore is most definitely a thing, so pink it is.
Shop the look:
Whenever I'm traveling, my wardrobe revolves around pretty dresses. Getting dressed up when you arrive in Palm Springs will be easy if it just requires one piece.
Shop the look:
Stars, they're just like us. Kendall Jenner ditched the glitz and glam to be comfortable during Coachella and enjoy the show. I'm with her on that and would definitely pack a casual look for after dark.
Shop the look:
A romper is a low-key genius way to look cute at Coachella but still be comfortable. You won't have to worry about flashing everyone while you jump up and down in the crowd.
Shop the look:
The denim maxi skirt will peak in 2023, and I guarantee you you'll see a lot of them at Coachella. Swap out your jeans for this style to instantly elevate your look.
Shop the look:
As seen on fashion people:
If you want your outfit to feel "Coachella" without having to try too hard, try wearing a sheer blouse. I've barely been wearing denim shorts lately, but this is the perfect time to pull yours out.
Shop the look:
While you might typically save the fringe skirt for a vacation, dressing it down with a logo tank is such a vibe. With logo tanks being a big runway trend as of late, this is a great opportunity to wear them.
Shop the look:
A dreamy skirt you'll want to wear on every vacation for the rest of your life.
There's nothing I love more than a trendy and printed minidress, so this one was an immediate obsession of mine. Pair it with bold and trendy accessories—you'll get plenty of compliments.
Shop the look:
A sheer embellished dress is a staple come Coachella. This is another runway-approved trend that I'm currently obsessed with and highly recommend wearing during the hot days in the desert.
Shop the look:
Wear a broken-in pair of combat boots to Coachella, and you won't regret a thing.
Vivian wore a skirt as a top, and now I want to wear a skirt as a top. Paired with oversize denim, this look is a hit.
Shop the look:
