Festival Fashion: Why Swamis Swimwear Belongs in Your Coachella Outfit

The desert sun is relentless, the music is nonstop, and your outfit needs to keep up. Enter: Swamis Swimwear bikinis—your festival must-have. A bikini is the perfect foundation for your inner Psychedelic Siren, Desert Cowgirl, or Chill-Chella look.

Why Bikinis Are a Festival Essential

• Beat the Heat – The desert is hot. A bikini works with moisture, so you can dance without feeling drenched. 
  

• Layer Like a Pro – Throw on sheer tops, crochet cover-ups, or denim shorts over your bikini for an effortless look.
  

• Mix & Match – A colorful bikini instantly refreshes an outfit you’ve worn before, making it feel brand new.
  

• Pool-to-Stage Ready – Morning pool party? No problem. Add a crochet skirt or denim button up to your bikini.
  
  

Style Sustainably: Thrift, Borrow, Upcycle

Festivals are about self-expression, but we can be mindful in terms of consumption. Instead of buying fast fashion, you can thrift, borrow, or upcycle your outfits:

• Thrift pendants and attach them to old necklace chains for a unique accessory. eBay and Etsy are your best friends.
  

• Find a silk scarf at the thrift store—wear it as a headband, tie it to your bag, or use it as a dust mask.
  

• Upcycle old clothes – Crop a vintage tee, sew beads or sequins to a tank top, or style with thrifted pins or a brooch.
  

• Raid your mom’s closet for a low-waisted belt or funky fanny pack for a festival twist. 

Style Guides: Coachella & Stagecoach Outfit Inspo

The Indie Sleaze Princess - she's effortlessly cool. Thrift a fairy-inspired ruffle top to wear with the Swamis Ventura Top and Surf Shorts in Verde. Add a charm necklace, brown cowboy boots and a beaded turquoise bag. Definitely giving BRAT.

The Strawberry Patch Girly outfit is so cutesy. Pair the Swamis Strawberry Fields Sol top with green gingham boxer shorts, plus some hand-made berry earrings to match. Accessorize with a vintage strawberry bandana, a hand-knitted crossbody from Etsy, and Golas Firefly sneakers.

The Psychedelic Siren - total desert mermaid vibes. We paired the Swamis Sol top and Luna bottom in Moondance with a teal sequin fishnet top, seashell necklace, starfish earrings, and brown boots. A tiered lace skirt completes the look. The finishing touch is iridescent mermaid nails. *heart eyes*

The VIP Maven - she knows who's at what stage at all times. She's only in the VIP section. She's been invited by her favorite indie artist to the afters. We paired the Swamis Noir Sol top and Luna bottom with a mesh high-neck tank, nude shorts, and a glitzy mirrored bag. Suede boots, gold bangles and Shevoke glasses complete the look.

This 60's pink look is inspired by Pheobe from Friends. We paired the Peggy Flow top and Original Cheeky bottom with pink moto boots, a crochet skirt from Etsy, and a thrifted beaded Y2K bag. A sheer knit shawl top is perfect for those cool desert nights.

Girl Out West - she's channeling vibrant colors, but doesn't overdo it. The Swamis Swim La Jolla triangle top is great underneath any dress that might be too sheer. Ground the outfit with earthy tones - brown sunglasses, brown knee-high boots, and a low-waisted leather belt.
