Music festivals provide one of the few off-runway opportunities to experiment with truly outrageous fashion. Many Coachella goers who attended the shows in Indio, Calif., this weekend and last took the opportunity to wear out-there ensembles showing off their individual style sensibilities.
One particularly daring attendee stepped out in a shiny silver duster with pasties and white hot pants underneath. White ankle boots and sparkly silver face glitter finished her bold ensemble.

Another showed off her festival style in a striped set consisting of an off-the-shoulder crop top and hot pants. She draped a fluffy jacket over her shoulders, completing her look with chunky white sneakers.

Given the dusty desert terrain of the festival grounds, sneakers are a perfect choice for the festival — so it’s no surprise that many attendees choose comfy kicks. Work boots, such as Dr. Martens’ trendy but practical styles, were also a popular choice among Coachella goers.

While there tends to be less experimentation on the men’s end, guys who dared to step out in more fashion-forward styles made an impact.
Green Adidas high-top sneakers with an tropical-themed, neon-striped set provided an eye-catching accent to one attendee’s look.

Another got it right in an edgy eye-covered pair of shorts teamed with iridescent sneakers.
