Stylehaus Presents Coachella Chic Fashion Show

Last week, I headed to the Mondrian LA for Stylehaus Coachella themed fashion show—getting festival attendees ready to rock the desert! There were so many fun looks, from maxi dresses to high-waisted shorts, and combat boots—and layers were key. I chatted with Stylehaus owner, Marina Monroe, about dressing for the festival and how to look cute without a lot of fuss!

RM: What style trends do you think will be the big at Coachella this year?

MM: High-waisted shorts and a bikini top covered with a crocheted top are basically the standard Coachella uniform. I see a lot of girls adding accessories like hair feathers, headbands, and stacks of bracelets, necklaces, and rings to make the look their own. I would expect to see a lot of flowing maxi dresses, as they are absolutely huge in terms of fashion this season. Finally, I’m predicting a lot of color this year because color is huge in fashion right now. I’m thinking colored denim with bright tops, and even crazy hair colors will be everywhere!

RM: What fashion/beauty item should Coachella attendees not leave home without?

MM: Sunscreen! It gets super hot out there, and trust me—you WILL burn! Hair and makeup at Coachella tends to look pretty natural, so the only beauty items you’ll really need are a little bronzer to highlight the tan, and you will most definitely need chapstick, and mascara. A good hairspray helps hold your hairstyle for a day or two, since you probably won’t want to deal with re-styling your hair anymore than you need to. A hat would be really helpful, as well. During the day, it will shield your face from the sun, and at night, it will help keep you warm. My favorite hats for Coachella are the wide-brim, floppy hats. I always recommend that girls not wear sandals if they are planning on trying to get anywhere near the stage. Instead, pack a pair of fun, distressed combat boots, motorcycle boots, or cowboy boots to protect your feet from out of control dancers (not to mention all the dirt!).

RM: What celebrities have you seen wearing these looks and how did they achieve them?

MM: Kate Bosworth always looks amazing at Coachella. She wears easy basics and always looks comfortable and cute at the same time. I’m also always excited to see what Alessandra Ambrosio wears to the festival. She tends to dress very Coachella-esque in her daily life, so I always like to see what she comes up with for the actual event itself.

RM: What is the key to dressing appropriately for Coachella?

MM: If you are the type of person that commits to staying at the festival all day you MUST wear layers (especially if you’re not camping, if you are then it’s super easy to go back to the campsite and change as the weather does). For example, high-waisted cut-offs, a bikini top, and a light, long-sleeved shirt that you can tie around your waist during the day (‘90s revival, people!) with a pair of combat boots, will keep you cool during the day, and then you can throw the shirt on at night to stay warm (you can always borrow a flannel from a nearby boy if need be as well—the Coachella spirit is all about sharing!).

See you on the red carpet!
