It wasn’t all glitter bindis and flower crowns at Coachella 2018. The guys also embraced festival fashion by emulating Spring/Summer 2018 trends including Gucci everything, two-piece fashion and dad on a Hawaiian holiday inspired. Here are our favourite men’s looks from Coachella 2018.
Charlie Heaton
The 24-year-old ‘Stanger Things’ actor looked effortlessly cool as he attended one of the many exclusive Coachella pool parties, pairing skinny black jeans with an oversized vibrant button down and denim jacket. Heaton blended in well with the Coachella crowd without causing any unneeded attention. Although a well-coordinated look, we do wonder how well this did in the desert heat.
KJ Apa
Kiwi KJ Apa made a surprise appearance during the Kygo set this weekend with ‘Riverdale’ superfans frantically buying tickets to see the real-life Archie Andrews play on stage. Apa looked like he belonged on the Coachella stage wearing a casual Hawaiian shirt and a 90s inspired jean chain as he made a solo guitar appearance.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber made no effort to hide from fans at Coachella. Bieber’s festival attire included a matching Hawaiian-print two-piece that he wore unbuttoned for the majority of his festival goings, showing off his tattooed chest and gym body. The Hawaiian inspired pattern two-piece was designed by New York-based label, You As.
A spokesman for the streetwear label discussed Bieber’s relationship with the brand, “Bieber’s worn the brand before, but it was great to see him embrace such a bold look. The print was inspired by traditional vintage Hawaiian border prints but rendered in desert flora like yucca and cacti, so the occasion and location that he wore it was fitting.”
The look was accessorised with Vetements socks (and no shoes for the majority of the festival) and a Gucci cross-body bag. Bieber was basically the poster boy for all the biggest Spring Summer 2018 trends. Bieber was seen running around Coachella, taking photos with fans and sticking close with bestie Post Malone.
Kendrick Lamar
Like Bieber, Kendrick Lamar went with matching two-piece separates. The look was more street style cool than Hawaiian holiday dad. Lamar was a surprise guest of rapper Vince Staples as they performed ‘Yea Right’ for the Coachella crowd. Lamar wore denim on denim in the desert with a splash of festival vibes with his Hawaiian printed undershirt.
G-Eazy
Yet another Hawaiian shirt graced the stage as rapper G-Eazy appeared on Cardi B’s set to perform ‘No Limit’. G-Eazy, who is normally known for his leather jackets and black skinny jeans was inspired by the bright colours of Coachella and embraced playful pattern.
Aminè
Aminè stayed clear of pink and yellow Hibiscus flowers and opted for something true to his style. The loose military- esque vest was refashioned in a feminine floral print, a contrast that strangely works as he boldly wears it on top of his all-white ensemble.
Perfume Genius
Perfume Genius pushed fashion boundaries once again in a look that’s reminiscent of the likes of Freddie Mercury. Perfume Genius took the stage in a boxy paisley suit with a floral pattern, something alike to Grandma’s curtains or a 60’s sitcom. The look is teamed with a block-heeled crocodile boot that and a matching belt and a pop of light berry lipstick to add just a little more colour.
