Forget Floral Headbands, Coachella's Key Accessory Will Be This

last updated 12 April 2016

It’s no secret that Coachella puts dibs on the festival trends first, what with it being months before the others and with that desert backdrop acting as a rather good catwalk. This year will be no different, of course, but according to our sources you'll need to swap out the floral garlands for something altogether cooler: A small neckerchief or bandana—tied with a V-shaped bib at the front—will not only add an element of style, but can also protect you from the dust storms that sporadically happen during the festival if you simply pull it up over your face!

This perfect Coachella accessory amps up any ensemble with just a simple tie around the neck. Whether you opt for a classic paisley, printed or graphic version of this neck scarf, you're sure to be on-trend and well-equipped, come one of the most fun weekends of the year, and beyond!
