\"Our new raffia bags from The Little Market are perfect for festivals,\" she said.
Fitzpatrick also highlighted that the fanny pack or \"belt bags\" are another functional option that will definitely be on display.
\"The 'ugly' sneaker trend shows no sign of slowing down, so I think a lot of people will be swapping sandals for chunky sneakers,\" Fitzpatrick said. \"Bonus: They can be more comfortable than sandals, anyway.\"
\"This year my outfits are going to be surrounded by comfy kicks or cute sandals,\" noted Austin. She chooses a comfy pair of white Kenneth Cole sneakers to maintain her style and ability to walk around the festival grounds all day long.

\"Coachella gets really hot, so I recommend bringing flip-flops,\" Conrad said. \"If you decide to wear boots or sandals, I would toss a pair of flip-flops in your bag in case you get blisters from walking around so much.\"

\"I love sets, simple matching top and bottoms look really cute so that's the perfect thing to wear,\" Austin said. \"Just keep it simple and dress it up with jewelry and accessories.\"

Austin is also a fan of wearing a bathing suit as a top. \"A cute bathing suit top is great because it gets so hot. I’ve worn it in the past and it was my best style decision of the weekend,\" she said.
Fitzpatrick suggests \"a patterned or white dress is key so you don't show sweat.\"

\"Don't fall victim to the festival dressing clichés, feel free to wear whatever suits you,\" she added.
But above all else, \"make it look effortless, and make sure you are comfortable,\" Conrad said, adding that \"not every piece should be a statement.\"

Conrad said when she's spending a long day in the sun, \"I always carry sunscreen, a snack, and perfume in my bag.\"
Austin and Fitzpatrick agree that sunscreen is a must, as well as water bottles that you can refill and portable cellphone chargers.
*Pro Tip: Bring cash*
\"Make sure you have cash on hand,\" Austin shared. \"A lot of the lines are quicker if you have cash because they're separated by cash and credit card and bring more than you think.\"
The first weekend of Coachella kicks off this Friday, April 13. The festival concludes April 22.
