What Festival Fashion Can Teach Us About Summer Dressing

Coachella and Stagecoach have officially wrapped, and now we have a great new collection of influencer and celebrity festival fashions to inspire our summer wardrobes. After all, I see the festival season as the unofficial start to summertime dressing, and the influencers and celebrities who flock to the desert to showcase their latest looks serve as the trendsetters for the rest of us.

The outfit prep begins long before influencers pack their suitcases and head out to Indio. Fashion and beauty brands, as well as PR showrooms from companies like Bollare, BRANDEdit, and Infinity Creative Agency, will host gifting suites in the weeks leading up to Coachella and Stagecoach to introduce influencers to their brands and get them decked out to wear their products out in the dessert.

There are also plenty of brands that activate in the desert, like Revolve, which hosts its annual Revolve Festival and dresses VIP attendees in their latest styles. Of course, influencers will also curate their festival style with the brands and products they organically love and want to show off to their audiences. All this work goes into shaping the style trends that emerge and influence the “it” fashions of the season.

Below are some of the influencer and celebrity fashion highlights from the festival season and the trends they are rocking. Keep scrolling to get plenty of outfit inspiration!
