On a Fashion Hunt - The Chic Hunter
also shown here), this look is what we call the "Chic Hunter". Going with the military theme, we accessorized this outfit with gold chains, bullet earrings, a bullet cuff, and clear-cuffed Valentino stud bracelet to add a killer edgy illusion. These UNIF Hellbound heels with suspender tights from Topshop pushes the ensamble toward the edge of chic edginess, providing the girly cropped top and shorts a different vibe and leaving more room for versatility. While putting this outfit together, we found the perfect color-blocked clutch from Celine that gives it that added pop of color. The orange nail polish brings in the bag with the clothes and adds a little funkiness to the outfit. For an extra pop of color, pout your lips with a warm red lipstick with an orangey hue to really make you stand out from the music crowd. For our readers who intend on using this outfit for your Coachella experience, replace these platform heels with mid-calf combat boots, thus completing your killer chic hunter look.

Mankind has learned time and time again that humans cannot predict mother nature. So if Coachella land turns out to be a lot colder than expected, cover up your stomach while still showing those abs by wearing high-waisted jeans. We've paired our leather detail bralette with a black racerback cut-out vest and striped jeans. We would suggest any kind of high-waisted jeans ranging from dark wash to light wash to even gray stone washed jeans. As an hommage to one of our favorite designers (Alexander McQueen), we chose to style it with lots and lots of skulls--McQueen's trademark fiend. When you're surrounded by free-spirited indie kids dressed like native indians with Native American headdresses and face paint ( as seen here), why go with the crowd and be "normal" when you can stay tres chic with skulls? Let your inner chic goth side come out by accessorizing with black and white bangles, Karl Lagerfield zip watch (that you can actually detach to form two leather bracelets), and bright red lipstick. Just because you like skulls and are vamped up to look like you're Dracula's mcQueen (you see what we did there?) doesn't mean you can't be a free spirit too! Heck, even dressing up this way at any music festival shows how free spirited you really are by going against the "normal" dress code. Like we stated before, class up the place! Say no to wearing only pasties (ew...), say no to the cliché flower-in-your-hair look (ugh, so overplayed), and most definitely say no to hobo boho (no..just...no.)
We wish everyone a great time at Coachella or wherever you will be this weekend. We hope you enjoyed our style guides and our somewhat-non-objective evaluation of the typical music festival styles. Whether you'll be out in the fields crowd surfing to your favorite band/DJ, dancing your feet off at a local club, or just spending a night out galavanting and wrecking havoc around town, we
XOXO, your honest friend,
Kaii
