The first weekend of Coachella 2023 may have been without its festival fashion queen, but the absence of one Vanessa Hudgens most definitely did not leave us with a shortage of outfit inspo across the desert of Southern California. In fact, it was the laid-back looks of celebs like Zoey Deutch (who opted for a comfy T-shirt, mini skirt, and sensible sneakers) that were getting the most attention, suggesting that festival attire might slowly be shifting from statement-making to something a lot more... easy going. And with the summer season fast approaching, that means the latest looks on the festival scene are rife with style ideas you can carry over to your hot-weather wardrobe.
From breezy button-downs and kaftans to wearable takes on the biggest Y2K trends (think rosette appliqués and baggy silhouettes), there's lots to love in the world of festival fashion right now. So we've rounded up some top looks from the Coachella Valley and beyond to inspire your approach to summer dressing this season.
Festival outfit idea: leather-on-leather
If the thought alone of wearing leather in the summer has you breaking a sweat, then look away — because two-piece sets in the durable fabric (and/or its vegan alternatives) are proving to be fashion's glossiest outfit formula for the season ahead.Festival outfit idea: cowboy hat
