Festival Outfits I’m Styling For Coachella To Serve Off-Duty Super Model
Because I WILL look cute, even if I'm covered in dust.
What’s something that’s piping hot, freezing cold, and dusty all at the same time? If you guessed the desert during Coachella (and Stagecoach, for that matter), you guessed right! But despite the logistical challenges that come with looking cool while getting in touch with nature on the grounds, festival season is a major fashion moment. Coachella has been setting trends since the ’90s, from flower crowns (RIP) to metallic rodeo core (thanks, Beyoncé), and 2025 will be no different.
My current prediction is that casual skin (and healthy hair) will be the most popular accessory (like how everyone was low-key naked at the VF Oscars After Party, but make it outdoorsy). Coachellas of the past have been about elaborate glam, but I think the serious style gurus may be keeping it skimpy, simple, and down to earth (Exhibit A: the entire Boys Lie April 2025 Drop). And yes, tight tight is officially out, babes!
Wondering where to find looks that give a natural, glowy goddess at your music festival of choice? Here’s my Coachella fashion guide to the best festival outfits.

Revolve Micayla Maxi Dress
What I love about this mesh maxi dress is that it covers everything and nothing at the same time. It screams you have taste, but you don’t have to try to show it, which is pretty much always the goal.

Revolve Moss Metallic Umbra Maxi Dress
Here’s a sandier version of the same idea for my Mad Max baddies out there. Is this technically a bathing suit cover-up? Yes, but don’t let labels stop you from channeling Greek Goddess energy!

Steve Madden Rocky Distressed Buckle Boots
Dainty on the top and chunky on the bottom, or as Pinterest’s trend forecasting board is calling it, “Urban Wrangler,” is a big festival vibe this year. Think rugged rodeo meets high-maintenance princess.
I love adding these boots and a bolo tie to a feminine silhouette look because the contrast is visually 10/10 (plus, your toes will be cozy and protected).

FP Movement Dance All Day Bubble Skort
I love that this skort is both activewear, so you can be comfy running around all day (or literally running at the festival’s first 5K, if you’re an overachiever like that) and super cutesy for a layering moment.
