With one of the biggest musical festivals of the year right around the corner, it is the perfect time to reflect on all the great things Coachella has blessed us with in the past. The beautiful weather brings in great music, people, food, and most importantly, fashion.
Starting in 1999, the Coachella Music and Arts Festival has progressively become a celebrity fashion destination. With the help of social media, this two-weekend event attracts over 579,000 people to the California desert which allows us to track what has now become known as “Coachella fashion.”
The multiple opportunities to express individuality through wardrobe is what makes the fashion element of Coachella so exciting. The festivals indie, boho, and overall hippie vibe encourages but does not limit, festival goers to making the experience completely their own. With such a free and welcoming environment, it is no surprise how quickly these tickets sell out. Let's take a look at celebrity outfit choices in the past years as inspiration for your 2016 Coachella shopping cart.
