Did your Coachella ticket get lost in the post again? Mine too.
It’s like being left out of the most exciting party that all of your friends keep instagram-ing and tweeting about (there’s even a dedicated selfie zone).
It’s hard to believe there’s time for any music at all what with all the street-style images popping up and celebs from Beyonce and Kendall Jenner to Cara Delevingine pictured having a good time at parties.
If your weekend was more Couch-ella than anything else, then don’t worry.The festival season is still in its infancy and there’s the likes of Field Day, Lovebox, Reading and Glastonbury to come on our shores. So, use our top fashion tips from Coachella to create the perfect festival wardrobe this summer.
If you don’t have anything planned, then, with a bit of tinkering, these looks could also be suitable for casual Fridays or, failing that, lounging in the park.

Meanwhile, if you’re still experiencing a bit of Coachella FOMO, there’s always the second weekend of the festival, which starts this Friday.
1. Crop top + skater skirt
Crop tops are the trend that just won’t go away. If you’re afraid, then team with a high-waisted skirt to minimise the amount of tummy on show.Crop top, flirty skater skirt and shades – perfect festival gear (Picture: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella)

It’s now acceptable to wear your favourite fruits, characters, even body parts on clothing. I’ve even spotted a pineapple bag.The fun prints at Coachella (Picture: Getty)
4. Hi tops

5. The midi dress
