! The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held just recently in the Colorado desert in California, is the Music Festival of the year in the States. Other than the music performances and the art exhibitions that took place in Coachella, street and celebrities’ style from Coachella has been taking over the internet. And with the warmer weather in the Cali desert, it’s no surprise that people were already dressing summer. I am here today to talk about these amazing Bohemian-inspired outfits and must-haves that aren’t restricted to Coachella only, but also essential for looking on-point this summer!!

Main Pieces:!Crop tops and high waisted denim shorts are the to-go outfit in the summer, but you can add some Coachella vibes to make you look music festival-ready! White laced crop-tops or white crop-tops with crochet detailing are great ways to bring some bohemian elements into a summer outfit.!

!Rompers or playsuits are easy and comfortable pieces to wear to a music festival. But they can also go anywhere from indoors to the beach. Pair some bohemian or tribal patterned rompers with boots and some hair accessories, and your outfit is good to go for a summer music festival.!

An example of the suggested main pieces for the music festival.

!If there is any staple piece to add on to an outfit for Coachella, it has got to be a fringed kimono top. If you have a simple outfit underneath, go with a bold bohemian-patterned kimono. Wearing patterns already? Choose a laced or mesh kimono to complete your look.!!!

Accessories:!Sunnies are going to help you survive a hot music festival. It’s time to have fun, so go with some statement shades to spice up your overall look. Some other great head or hair accessories for music festivals are: floppy hats to keep the sun from shining onto your face, bandanas to bring fun, hippie vibes to your outfit, and flower crowns to add some summer and girly touches to your overall look.!!Flash (temporary) tattoos or hennas are must-haves for a fun music festival like Coachella. They weigh absolutely nothing

and are definitely attention grabbers! !!Must-have jewellery for a music festival would be: body chains to add effortless gypsy vibes to your outfit, statement or layered necklaces to add to your look, and a lot of arm candy.!!Footwear is another important element to an outfit, and with Coachella, it’s all about the boots, boots, and more boots. Ankle boots are great for completing a Coachella outfit with a bohemian touch, and I would recommend black or brown boots with fringe detailing, or suede ankle boots.!!!Overall Outfits:!Vanessa Hudgens is known for her amazing Coachella outfits. At last year’s Coachella, she rocked a red desert-inspired romper, a floppy sun hat, red sunglasses, black boots with fringe detailing, and killer jewellery. No wonder she’s known to be the “Queen of Coachella”!!!Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosia was spotted at Coachella with one of the best looks. Her patterned off-the-shoulder top with brown shorts and ankle boots made her outfit bohemian-chic, and showed off her gorgeous long legs.!!Bella Thorne went to this year’s Coachella wearing a gorgeous floral maxi-dress, a simple flower crown, a blue fringe bag, layered necklaces, and quite a lot of arm candy. Her outfit was full of bohemian vibes, and is definitely a comfortable outfit to wear to a music festival!
