The good news? When it comes to music festival style, figuring out what to wear to Coachella is way less complicated for men than it is for women.

Coachella outfit trends come and go as fast as headliner acts and heaven forbid that you make the trek to Indio sporting unicorn makeup and a choker when you’re supposed to be in cowboy boots and fringe!

For guys, though, music festival style stays pretty consistent from one weekend to the next.

Meaning? Bookmark these outfit ideas for inspiration all summer long.

Feel Good, Look Good

Your goal? Look good and feel good in festival fashion that’s as functional as it is fashionable.

Because when you’re schlepping to the desert (literally) to cover a lot of ground (also literally) walking from stage to stage, practicality is key.

Once you’ve filled your suitcase with survival basics like a portable phone charger and sunscreen, reach for lightweight essentials, like layers that will take you from sunbaked days to cooler nights without skipping a beat.

Below, three days of Coachella outfit ideas for guys:

Day 1: Stripes

SG Says: When it comes to men’s Coachella outfits, this preppy-meets-hipster vibe that’s so cool right now will fit right in when you hit the California desert.

Grab your favorite sneakers and pair them with all the stripes you can find. From a breezy Oxford or linen shirt to boxer-type shorts, you’ll fit right in when you arrive in Indio.

You’ll most likely want to leave your denim at home in favor of breezy thigh-baring shorts. If you do bring jeans, opt for a light wash pair that won’t absorb a lot of sunlight.

Day 2: Monochrome

SG Says: Nervous about veering into trendy territory? Savvy attendees keep things simple in the desert heat by wearing one color head to toe.

The way to keep this casual look interesting? Follow this trick that celebrities know. Mix your textures and add accessories like a necklace, bracelets, bandana, or baseball hat.

Even a small piece of jewelry like a signet ring will add style oomph to your Coachella outfit.

Day 3: Bright Colors

SG Says: There’s nothing more fun than a music festival outfit that feels inspired by your favorite Ninja Turtle.

Go with purple, or any color that makes you think, “I hope this day is as awesome as my outfit.”
