With Rolling Loud and Dreamville out of the way and Coachella incoming, we’re already fully in the spring and summer music festival season. While we also look forward to Bonnaroo, Stagecoach, Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, and more, we fantasized about what we would wear to these festivals. Imagine you and your friend or partner strolling festival grounds in Travis Scott Nike’s and Charli XCX charm necklaces. Tombogo tees and Acne shorts. This could be you. Literally.
See below for some festival outfit ideas for every aesthetic, and how to get your hands on them.

This is someone who has truly mastered their aesthetic. Along their style journey, they’ve struck the perfect balance between embracing current trends and making them uniquely their own. They prioritize quality over quantity, investing in statement pieces that can be dressed up or down. For them, a classic bomber jacket and an everyday grey zip-up hoodie are timeless staples, essential all year round. This person sticks to a clean palette while adding hints of color through accessorizing with an embroidered belt or a skullcap. And of course with their attendance at any festival, they have to get that Pinterest-worthy fit dump. –Bree Walker

The boho girl is Coachella personified. Vanessa Hudgens pioneered the style in her 2010s prime, twirling in flowy dresses, concho belts, and fringe under the scorching desert sun. No matter how much festival fashion changes, the bohemian look will always remain stylish. The modern-day boho girl is wearing modern denim, classic Isabel Marant, and a pair of comfy, overly worn-in Birks. She’s probably vibing out in the back at a smaller stage, away from the crowd, listening to an artist she truly loves—without a care in the world. –Shinnie Park

Malbon Golf Cannes Pleated Trouser, $198

When it comes to prepping their Coachella wardrobe, some people treat it like a summer vacation. This person isn’t as interested in trendy and expensive brands that will be turning heads. Instead, they prefer a breezy button-up, cleanly pleated trousers, and the right pair of shades. Usually, they’d pair this type of outfit with some penny loafers, swapped out for more comfortable Vans to account for the miles of walking at the weekend festival. It’s a timeless look that will have you looking put together in all the photo dumps that end up on social media. –Mike DeStefano

Travis Scott is taking over the desert for this year’s Coachella. That means you can expect to see a lot of his loyal fans stomping the festival grounds. Dripped out in every earth tone known to man and a few pieces of Cactus Jack merch for good measure, these people call Travis Scott their GOAT. They may wander around to a few other sets, but they’re really just there for the night show. They would camp out at the barricade if they could—anything to be front row for “Fein.” –Mike DeStefano

Rolling Loud Fly Cap, $35

Music festivals are certainly an opportunity to dress up and go all the way out, but for some, it’s just another way to enjoy music. If you’re an audiophile who mostly only cares about the listening experience, just make sure you’re at least amply hydrated and protected against the sun. A fly cap, hydration pack, and sunstick should do the trick. And a T-shirt with plenty of pockets just in case you want to be hands-free in your partying. –YJ Lee

Staud Wally Boots, $495
Summer is coming back, which means Brat Summer is too. Charli XCX is headlining the second day of this year’s Coachella, and her brat girl is wearing a baby tee, micro shorts, and dark shades to block the laser beams from the stage. Taking cues from the artist’s style, the ensemble can be complete with some charms and sexy knee-high lace socks. You’ll be ready to be a “365 party girl.” –Shinnie Park
Xwore Plaid Printed Hoodie, $130
Paly Hollywood FWF Tee, $350

We definitely know at least one person in our lives who dresses perpetually emo. Now they can update that inner rock-kid aesthetic with some premium streetwear. Paly and Tombogo are great options for grungy clothes, and Martine Ali and Starchain offer chain accessories that are perfect to bling out a look that could otherwise read a bit gloomy. Concert earplugs will let everyone around you know: I’m here to bop, please don’t bother me. –YJ Lee

Wish Me Luck Blue Denim Jeans, $105
Iconaclub Moto Punk Beanie, $40
Pythia Red Barbwire Star Earrings, $36

If it’s a major festival, you can count on there being a major K-Pop star. Celebrate Jennie’s performance on Coachella’s final days with Complex’s exclusive Jennie merch created for her March cover story. But also: comfy sneakers you can run around in to chase down your bias, and of course, an ultra-highres DLSR to capture their every precious moment. –YJ Lee

Every music festival has a handful of bro-y twentysomethings who are just there for a good time. While plenty of people who attend Coachella spend months planning their outfits for the big weekend, this person has been busy crunching numbers for their beer budget and trying to figure out how to sneak in some extra booze. Minimal effort is put into the fit, but they still don their lucky Luka jersey and a pair of nylon shorts to stay as cool as possible during their wild marathon. Their white Nike socks will become a shade of brown by the end of the day, as will their shoes. But who cares. If this is you, we aren’t here to judge—just remember to party responsibly. –Mike DeStefano
