With Coachella only days away, people are scrambling left and right to put together their own rendition of the perfect outfit for the most anticipated music festival of the year.
While we’ve given you the lowdown on awesome deals on Coachella-friendly Bohemian dresses, this time, we’re busting out the ultimate music festival uniform – the denim cutoffs. Check out our style guide below.
1. Go for that pop of color
While everyone’s grabbing Bohemian pieces, why not stand out by injecting neon items into your Coachella outfit lineup? Choose lace tops in fun colors and layer them; use knots to instantly turn them into crop tops.

2. Choose airy and light pieces
If you’re not such a fan of strong colors, we suggest putting together an outfit choosing light hues so as not to eliminate fun colors entirely. We suggest going for pastel colors paired with faded denim shorts and white lace.

3. Go denim-on-denim
Coachella is the perfect excuse to bring out your inner nasty – in our case, we mean denim and mesh overload. Wear a mesh crop top over a black bandeau and throw an oversized denim vest over it.

4. Combine ethereal yet polished pieces
Some are not exactly fans of ultra-femme dresses and not quite punk leather chic either – this look beautifully finds the middle ground between the two extremes. Pick out a severely washed pair of cutoffs and wear it with a watercolor print blouse.

5. Go biker chic
Of course, Coachella will not be complete without the leather ladies, and there’s no better excuse to wear a full-on biker jacket when you’re wearing a skimpy bandeau or bikini top underneath.
