Thanks to possibly the most stylish festival of the year, our Instagram feeds have been filled with glamorous shots of festival fashion direct from the stateside Coachella. If you’re heading to a festival this summer, let us help you be inspired by some of Coachella’s coolest trends. 

Statement Kimonos

If there’s one item that you almost have to take along to a festival, then make it a kimono. Not only do they infuse your outfits with an effortless dose of cool but they also act as a great cover up when the sun’s beating down on your shoulders. 

At this year's Coachella, it was all about the Statement kimono with cool fringing, lace and detailed embroidery leading as decorative trends. Which style will you choose?

Suede

This is the fabric of choice amongst the festival trend setters this year, as not only does it tie in with one of the season’s biggest stories, the Seventies’ theme, but its tan colourway is also really easy to wear. 

We've seen it in so many different forms from skirts and crop tops to waistcoats that it’s difficult to decide our favourite way to wear the trend.

Backpacks

Some of the Nica team were also lucky enough to hit Coachella this time around, and of course they took along their favourite #NicaHandbags. Nikki from the Nica team shared her festival fashion with us, featuring her new season Tary backpack that’s due to launch very soon.

The backpack is perfect for all of that hands in the air dancing with enough room to carry all of your essentials, especially a much needed bottle of water. Nikki styles hers with a very on trend suede skirt, patterned crop top and cool sunglasses. 

Why not share your festival fashion looks with us? Just tag your stylish photos with #NicaHandbags. We can’t wait to be inspired.

White, White and More White

White fashion is big news in the style world at the moment and boy did the colour conquer at last weekend’s Coachella. Channelled in crochet dresses, lace shift tops, white blouses, sunglasses and sandals; white enjoyed supreme reign this year. Some opted for head to toe magnolia while others worked the trend with a subtle accessory.

ALL of the Accessories

A quick peek at Coachella street style snaps confirmed that accessories were a key focus area over the weekend. Mirrored sunglasses, diamond hair crowns, stack rings, catarzi hats... When it comes to festivals, the less is more rule need not apply- more is more.

As for handbags, cross body styles won the majority vote. And with hands-free features allowing for optimum accessibility, it comes as no surprise that the faithful cross body is the must-have festival accessory of the moment.

Kimono Love

Kimonos are a staple piece at music festivals. No other fashion garment can quite match up in terms of bohemian chic which is probably why every fashionista in sight was wearing theirs at Coachella. Whether teamed with light denim shorts, flowing in eye-catching patterns or simply a subtle finishing touch to an understated outfit, kimonos were out in full force.

And there we have it, it looks like white fashion, accessories galore and statement kimonos are the way to go for festival fashion kudos.
