Coachella 2025 Outfit Trends: The 3 Biggest Festival Fashion Aesthetics You’ll See Everywhere
Cowgirl, brat, and boho. 🎡
We’re in full prep mode for Coachella 2025 NEXT WEEKEND, and our festival wardrobes are top priority. Comfort is key first and foremost—and it’s easy to be comfy in some western and brat-inspired fits. Think denim, fringe, flowy and micro mini skirts. Some are even saying Coachella 2016 style is back. We’re still big fans of reusing what you have, rental clothing like Nuuly, thrifting and then buying a few key pieces that you can wear after the festival. After diving into the latest runway shows and trend reports, scouring TikTok and shopping in stores, we've curated the ultimate guide to festival season with the 3 main style themes we’re seeing and key items needed for each.
1. Indie Sleaze, But Make It Brat
The early 2000s grunge aesthetic is making a bold comeback, infused with sporty elements reminiscent of "Brat Summer". While the vibe is undeniably different this year, Charli is bringing brat back out at the likes of Coachella and Primavera Sound, plus her own string of arena shows.
Key Items:
Mesh Tops
Vintage Graphic Tees
Ribbed Tanks
Micro Shorts or Skirts (sequins are a yes!)
Sporty Mirrored Sunglasses
Pashminas
2. How the West Was Fun
The Wild West rides into Coachella with cowboy boots, wide-brimmed hats, and cowprint taking center stage. Feminine shapes and fringe detail soften durable materials like leather and denim for the mix of form and function that festival dressing requires.

Cowboy Boots
Baggy Overalls or Denim Shorts
Wide-Brimmed Hats OR Baseball Caps with Scarf
