This guy may be the embodiment of the worst of Coachella — the unnecessary accessories and the lack of actual clothing are the hallmarks of the annual music festival, where many people don't seem worried in the least about looking like they're on a lot of drugs. Look, this spirit shan't depart Coachella or any other summer music festival any time soon, but there are ways to liven up some of the festival circuit's most tired — and tiring — trends. Here's a handy guide to updating your summer festival wardrobe so that you don't end up as that person who showed up wearing ten dead trends at once. This isn't fashion week, after all!
1. See-through miniskirts.
Instead try: midi skirts.
2. Trying to look like Criss Angel.
Instead try: one necklace.
3. Over-accessorizing, just generally.
Instead try: wearing just one completely ridiculous thing at a time.
4. Mixed aztec prints.
Instead try: graffiti prints.
Or: mixing florals and stripes.
5. Wearing bathing suit bottoms instead of actual clothes.
Instead try: distressed boyfriend jeans.
6. Face paint that looks like cocaine.
Instead try: statement eyeliner.
7. Feathers as hair.
Instead try: this headband.
8. Jorts shaped like diapers.
Instead try: longer shorts!
9. Floral head wreaths.
Instead try: a turband.
10. Ironic mancessories.
Instead try: ironic pineapple short shorts.
11. American flag anything.
Instead try: this "pirate queen" tank.
