20 Accessories For Coachella & Other Festivals That Will Take Your Look To The Next Level
From a little known festival in the desert featuring the likes of Weezer and Rage Against the Machines in 1999 to a near cultural phenomenon today featuring headliners like Ellie Goulding and Drake, you know it... it's the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Beside the amazing music, what's even more compelling is the way the fashion and beauty industry have so seamlessly become synonymous with the event. In the spirit of this triple threat, I've rounded up a list of fashion forward pieces perfectly inspired by Coachella's bohemian desert aesthetic.
With achingly stylish pool parties hosted by Lacoste to this year's sponsors, H&M and SEPHORA, it's no wonder the fashion crowd flock to Indio, CA each spring. Everyone from blogger favorites Man Repeller's Leandra Medine and Sincerely Jules' Julie Sarinana, to industry A-listers Diane Kruger, Karlie Kloss and the Jenner sisters, the crowd is packed with stylish celebs.
Long gone are the days when flowers in your hair and jean cutoffs, well, cut it. But don't you worry, these 20 festival-ready accessories are far from cheesy —and let's be honest here, it's all about the next level selfies for Instagram.
