As the first weekend of Coachella 2019 came to a close, the music, fashion and style of the festival had everyone talking.

3. Iconic Boho Style Replaced by Chic and Sophisticated Aesthetics
As fashion trends change every season, so does the boho-style aesthetic. While it was once a key indicator of effortless, earthy style and bohemian luxury, now the tides have shifted. For fall 2019, the chic and ethereal outfit is no longer the go-to look. Instead, fashionistas are gracing the streets with newer, more sophisticated styles.
The fashion magpies have ditched the all-over floral prints and have embraced muted, yet feminine tones and classic fabrics. Satin is making a comeback, along with elegant, minimalistic garments and takes on timeless silhouettes. There are also some animal-themed pieces and subtle hints of sparkles in ruffle-hemmed dresses and detailed skirts.
- To top it off, the combination of neutrals, shining fabrics and small personal touches of color has allowed for a contemporary and subtle look.
- Accessories are no longer bulkier, wood-beaded necklaces, but instead, tiny jeweled studs, hoop earrings and layered necklaces.
