It's famously the coolest and the cleanest festival on Earth. At Coachella, you won't find revellers dragging their wellies through e-coli mud or falling over beer cans. You can only drink in restricted areas, for one thing, a policy that sounds about as conducive to fun as the American legal drinking age of 21 is to having a great time at university.

Thankfully the street style there is far more relaxed, taking in everything from sporty to hippy and back again with a touch of rock chick. The message from Coachella this year is that boho is anything but dead. Tiers, fringing, cowboy boots and cowboy hats abound, and the more the merrier when it comes to 'ethnic' leather accessories.

Marvel at the immaculate grooming despite the desert heat. Take heart that festival chic seems to be about more than simply the receding VPL of a jeans short this summer. And click the gallery for some of the best looks from the suspiciously verdant turf at this, the desert's biggest fashion moment.
