Yes, Coachella always calls for a flower crown [1]. That's one thing that won't change. But just because you tend to spot a lot of the same boho-inspired staples year after year [2], that doesn't mean you won't find outfits with an element of surprise. With flared, '70s cuts [3] and fringe trending [4], the 2015 festivalgoers certainly followed suit. (Seriously, we don't think anyone left home without a few tassel-embellished pieces.)
But that's not all we laid eyes on in Palm Springs, CA. Read on to see all of the stylish snaps from Coachella [5] last year, and then learn how to create your own signature carefree look just in time for this weekend. Whether you're planning on enjoying a concert [6] or you're just itching to let out your inner desert queen, we have all the inspiration you'll need [7].
