ott-face-jewels
OTT Face Jewels
A bit of bedazzlement is always a plus, but try not to go so HAM on stick-on face jewels that your can’t move your eyebrows properly.
floor-length-skirts
Floor Length Anything
Floor length skirts and dresses are a staple in any gal’s wardrobe (and are a godsend when you don’t wanna shave/cbf to fake tan), but after an hour of wandering around on a muddy field, the hem’s gonna look pretty grubby, and you probs don’t want that.
headdress
Native American Headdress
This one kinda goes without saying, but let’s put it out there one last time: any clothing that causes a whole heap of offense really shouldn’t be at Coachella. Nuf said.
white-sneakers
White Sneakers
As good as white sneakers are for literally any social occasion, they’re gonna be the first thing to look grubby when you’re bustin’ a move in a big crowd of people. Save your sneaks and swap ’em out for gumboots.
flower-crowns
Flower Crowns
Throw it back to 2015 and we’ll admit, flower crowns were the absolute tits. But not they’ve become a bit of an overdone ~cliché~, y’know? Why not swap ’em out for a baller cap (and protect your face from ~nasty~ sunburn while you’re at it)?
grey
Anything Grey
Grey seems like a totally ace choice for a festival, until you start sweating like a mofo and it starts to soak through your clothing under the arms and around the bewbs.
Heels
Heels
Keep your heels at home this festival season to save your feet a lot of discomfort and some potential falls.
big-bags
Big Bags
You might want to bring all your worldly possessions around with you (because who knows when you might need a face wipe, amiright?), but trust us when we say that ‘less is definitely more’. Opt for a small cross-body bag, and dance unrestricted all day and night.
skinny-jeans
Skinny Jeans
We know what you’re thinking: “No SKINNY JEANS? WHAT?” but hear us out. Our beloved skinnies go with practically everything in our wardrobe, making them one of our hero pieces, but when you’re at a festival there’s nothing worse than leg sweat combined with someone spilling their sticky drink all down your trousers.
synthetic-nylon-fabrics
Synthetic Nylon Fabrics
While they might look great, you definitely won’t feel fre$h after jammin’ in the sun in an outfit that doesn’t breathe.
