Coachella is a time of non-stop fun, music, and, of course, fashion. Yes, we all go to listen to our favorite artists and dance our hearts out, but everyone knows that serving up looks is just as important as the tunes we’re listening to. However, as fashion enthusiasts, we definitely don’t want to show up in clichéd trends of years past. Which is why we’re here to present you some seriously good ensembles you actually haven’t seen before. From rompers to slip dresses, here are 11 Coachella outfits to help you do festival season right.
