5 style mistakes to avoid if you go to Coachella - First rule: avoid clichés

Coachella is arguably the most famous festival in the world. Back in the days when Lana del Rey sang West Coast in 2014, Coachella was at the height of its myth: teenagers from all over the world dreamed of California escapism, went into raptures reading the huge line-ups, dreamed of California, meadows, desert parties. In that period the contemporary imaginary of Coachella was formed: girls dressed in macramé and crowned with flowers, faces painted with glitter, colored bandanas, the atmosphere of a big garden where the Olympus of the beautiful and famous stretched out on the green lawns laughing and dancing. Coachella has above all an aesthetic uniform, a series of boho-chic and fully summery outfits that have become synonymous with the festival.

Anything that looks like it belongs in Johnny Depp's wardrobe, should stay in Johnny Depp's wardrobe. This includes men's Indiana Jones-style wide brimmed hats, a supremely romantic and rock accessory but now a symptom of boundless pretentiousness. The problem, as with flower crowns, lies not in the hat itself but in the cliché that the hat represents. You go from simple sin to mortal sin when the fedora is made of woven straw - because at that point you stop being boho-chic and become boho-cheap.
