Feathers, crocheted tops, high-waisted shorts – they’re all staples of the “Coachella” look. The fest is also a good time to bust out that item in your closet that makes you smile and “when would I wear that?.” Today. It’s today.

A few that have made me smile:

On Arenas Rd. back in Palm Springs? Par-for-the-course pride. At Coachella? Rainbow shoelaces are hipster and hot.

Even when the sun’s not blaring, you can still rock your shades at Coachella. Just ask this chick – she’s got shades for her shades. No squinting in her future.

Alligator hat. Never leave home without it.

And one most-likely unplanned accessory:
It’s chilly, you have a knapsack full of jean shorts and tank tops. Get cold or get creative? Your call. This guy borrowed socks from his jammies (a guess) to warm his hands. High-five for innovation. Oh wait, socked fist bump better for you?
