Coachella is set to kick off on April 14, drawing flocks of music fans — including countless celebs — to the scenic, mountain-view grounds of the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif.
While festival-goers will enjoy a killer stage lineup that includes such big names as Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Lorde and Kendrick Lamar, fashion-watching is also a major part of the Coachella fun. Free-spirited, boho looks rule the scene, including sandals, ankle booties and espadrilles featuring plenty of fringe, feathers, beading, embroidery and earthy color palettes.
And although Coachella is strictly for the 18-and-over crowd, teens can still get in on the fashion action from the sidelines with festival-inspired styles of their own. We shopped around and found some of the best boho footwear looks at budget-friendly prices.
New York label Soludos strips things down with this simple, all-leather thong sandal, decorated with delicate embroidery on the vamp.

If sneakers are your thing, Keds’ Triple Decker platform slip-on style delivers cushy comfort (thanks to an Ortholite insole) along with a boost of added height. The colorful abstract-shapes print — created by Brooklyn, N.Y., artist Kristin Texeira exclusively for Keds — nicely complements Coachella’s desert vibe.
