Ready to Rock


Express

Spring music festival season is upon us and we all know that music festivals are about so much more than the music.  Since there are all kinds of Spring festivals, it should come as no surprise that each has its own individual vibe and style.  Coachella, in particular, is a "fashionable" fest, with girls in expensive boho chic garb, waiting to get their pics snapped by street style photographers. For those who have never heard of Coachella, it is best described as Woodstock for Generation Y.  Music aficionados from around the world gather in California every year in mid April for two weekends of nonstop music. Not only does Coachella attract some of the coolest rock, indie, hip-hop and house artists, but it also attracts some daring fashionistas.  Coachella began this weekend and all anyone is talking about is what they're wearing to the big event. Yup -- festival hair, makeup, and fashion practically overshadowing the bands on the big stage.  If you are going to Coachella this year, here are some popular fashion trends you might want to try:

Express

- Cut-Off Denim Shorts: Cut-off denim shorts can get a little dirty, which makes them the perfect option for an outdoor music festival.

- Braids: Braids are perfect for warm weather to keep your locks from dragging you down.

- Gladiator Sandals: Gladiator sandals will keep you cool, while still looking stylish.

- Floral Prints: Floral prints are springy and very 1960s-chic. Embrace your botanist side with a medley of botanical blossoms on backpacks, dresses, leggings and bikinis.

- Tie-Dye: This one might be a bit obvious, but is still a necessity. Try a tie-dye maxi dress from Michael Kors. Or make your own with an at-home kit.

- Feathers: While I don't recommend wearing feathered clothing, I would opt for feathered jewelry like earrings and necklaces.


- Fringe: Fringe looks great on clothing and crossbody bags and it just screams Coachella.

-Vests: Vests can go over any outfit -- a T-shirt, a dress or even a bathing suit.

- Crossbody Bags: Hands-free is the way to go at any music fete.

- Hippie Headbands: Hippie headbands come in some concert-ready fabrics these days, like sequins and metallic. If you really want to show off your inner 60s-goddess try a band of flowers.

- Maxi Skirts: Maxi skirts are comfy and light enough for optimal movement.

- Cropped Tanks: What better way to beat the heat than with a cropped tank? Try a neon color for that extra pop.

- Round Oversized Sunglasses: These shades are all the rage this season. Think Lady Gaga or Mary-Kate Olsen.  Try a tortoise shell pair from Asos for just $29.99.

- Sun Hats: Sun hats are the perfect accessory to shade your eyes from thesun's piercing rays.
