Remember when must-attend music festivals were just about the music? Nope? Us either. Style is as integral to the experience as the tunes, and with Coachella having recently broken this summer's festie seal, it’s as crucial to have your lineup squared away (and your antibacterial spray close at hand) as it is to ready your main stage look. Here, we’ve compiled our tried-and-true sartorial approaches for every type of fan.
Classic Boho-Chic
Soundtrack: First Aid Kit — Muse: Florence Welch

Bohemian-inspired looks are the go-to festival get-up, so why not try a twist on this comfortable-yet-stylish approach? Free People’s sexy take on the classic denim dress is a welcome respite from the gypsy skirt brigade. And while flat gladiator sandals make for easy navigation to the beer vendors, a pair of wood-heeled, sorbet-hued platform sandals from Messeca really amp up your earthy ensemble. Complete the look with a floppy hat from ASOS and a Southwestern-inspired carryall for toting around your back-up floral head wreath and organic sunscreen.
Rock n’ Roll Rebel
Soundtrack: Sleigh Bells — Muse: Allison Mosshart

If you cringe at the sight of a gauzy dress, feather motifs, and turquoise jewelry—and have a secret penchant for leather and lace—then, by all means, channel your inner bad girl for your festival wardrobe. Skip flowing cuts and ombre everything in favor of a cropped faux-leather vest with cut-off jean shorts, or a ‘90s-inspired mini a la Kelly Kapowski. Stud-embellished accessories roughen up a classic jeans-and-tee formula—top your look off with Hells Angels-meets-Charlie’s Angels ankle booties—our pair-to-beat is the Tripoli by Jeffrey Campbell.
Glam Rock
Soundtrack: Santigold — Muse: Nicki Minaj

If you’re the type of girl whose bathroom floor is perpetually coated with glitter, and who applies fake lashes to pick up your drycleaning, we salute you. Now go snag yourself a pair of Pixie Market lace bloomers, then top with a Silence & Noise bustier top and a cropped leather jacket and prepare to be mistaken for a member of the opening act. If you can manage a little altitude and a lot of attitude, the covet-worthy yellow Platform Pumps by Costume National are a slick finishing touch.
Urban with an Edge
Soundtrack: The Weeknd — Muse: Beyonce

Still pining for B’s Glastonbury wardrobe? Go ahead and set your style dial to hip-hop video vixen. While we don’t condone letting it all hang out, we do approve of asset-hugging, within reason: Ksubi’s cheetah print Albuquerque shorts make for a fierce pairing with an asymmetrical, hipstamatic-emblazoned tee from Wildfox Couture. And if you’re in a go-jumpsuit-or-go-home frame of mind, go big with an ASOS Studio 54-inspired one-piece accessorized with an armful of blingy bangles.
