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.

This one’s for all the ladies braving Glastonbury. High street collections have finally acknowledged that British festivals and rain go hand in hand and have come up with a sassy solution to all your partying-in-the-rain needs. It’s called the rain mac and will save your carefully chosen OOTD from morphing into drowned rat chic-amazing right?!

Make the days brighter with a flower infused raincoat, achieve a high impact with a metallic mac or let your outfit do the talking with a transparent, clear-plastic style. Rain mac or style saviour?

Accessories are every festival lover’s best friend. Turn up the volume with palma violet floppy hats, sunflower crowns and mint chocolate satchels. Accessories are the easiest way to add a splash of colour to an otherwise understated outfit and when it comes to festivals, more is more.

If you’re still searching for a little somethin’ somethin’ to jazz up your look, go all out with bindis and glitter. You could even add a pair of novelty sunglasses to the mix to really make an impression.

The print revolution has landed. Highlighter yellow sunflower shorts, blood orange florals, speckled wayfarer sunglasses…They’re lively, they’re loud and they’re coming to a festival arena near you. Hold on to your no-colour rule with a flowery twist on the classic LBD or embrace the chance to be daring with clashing prints and accessories.

Whether you opt for neon or Neapolitan prints, matchy-matchy co-ordinates or one key piece, let the colours run by embracing this summer’s most energetic trend.
