What to Pack for Coachella, Based on Your Festival Personality

Every April, the desert becomes a backdrop for some of the year's most iconic performances at Coachella. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Cardi B alongside half "The White Lotus" cast including Lisa make their annual pilgrimage to Indio, California — plus a swarm of influencers, music fans, and nature lovers. With one weekend down and one weekend to go, the vibes are high, the sun is relentless, and everyone's trying to look good, stay hydrated, and not blow their entire savings.

This year, we're breaking down the five types of Coachella personalities — and what's in their survival kit to keep them going from the first set to the last afterparty. Whether you fit squarely into the influencer or stylist box — or you're a chaotic mix of all five — you'll find something worth investing in from this prep list, which includes everything from comfortable sneakers to a bottle of water to help avoid the dreaded Coachella cough.

Pack accordingly, hydrate aggressively, and don't forget to reapply sunscreen. Check out some of our favorite festival must-haves below.
