For the girls: Is wearing skirts @ Coachella a bad idea?

[chairmenmeow47]

i wear a skirt over a bikini. that way, it doesn't matter if it flips up or something.

[kimery08]

I wore skirts both days last year. The only issue is chafing from sweating and walking at the same time (and that problem can be addressed several ways). I wore a knee-length skirt, kind of light beige colored, and medium weight fabric. Breeze was not too bad in the evening, I just brought another shirt with me to keep my arms from getting cold. Also, it is advisable to wear closed-toe shoes regardless of how god awful it might look with a skirt.

my sister gave me the best advise one summer. put deodorant on the inside of your thighs to keep them from sweating. it seriously works.

This was one of the most interesting threads to have read while bored at work.


I personally go for light weight capris and chuck taylors.

I'm trying to figure out why that's much different than a skirt over panties.


I have this thing for girls in long skirts. I don't know why, but I've always liked them.

I think it depends on the type of panties.

Sez who? I think I speak for most guys when I say we have NO problem whatsoever with flashing thongs!

[thaipod]

what about a thong bikini, then?

*shrugs* there really isn't that much difference. generally though, bikini bottom's tend to be a thicker fabric, as well as more having elastic around the edges so they stay over your bum better. plus, if it matches your bikini top, it's not that shocking and it's a cute pattern.

thin panties wedging up your cheek on the other hand doesn't look as good when your skirt flips up.

i like the shorter skirt cause it's one of the few times of year my legs actually get some sun. plus, it's dope to dance by the air vents in the sahara tent cause the air just goes right to your cash and prizes!

Another reason skirts are awesome: dealing with port-o-potties. Much easier than pants.

Sun dresses aren't a bad idea either.

I'll be in my bunk.

Ewww. Please don't.

lol I think I saw a really cute scort at like old navy last year..

[momof5]

I have worn a skirt and found that it was not absorbing all the sweat running down my legs! Looser Light pants/Shorts work better for me and my girls. Also laying around/sitting on the grass or trying to get a small space of shade is difficult walking over people in a skirt.And for the record I never wear a skort!

cash and prizes!


Now there's a euphemism I've never heard before. Congratulations, you just replaced "furry front bottom" as my new fave!

I heart you.

[fever55]

go for booty shirts = )

[Encaitare]

do a skirt/sundress with light weight boxers underneath. i wore this for a 3 week backpacking through europe a few sumemrs ago this way, and it saved my thighes, "cash and prizes" - seriously, best quote ever.

although I think i'm going to rock a sixties style cotton jumper for coachella. button up blouse top style, open, with either a bikini top or a tank underneath, depending on weather/mood/position of venus relative to mercury.

A jumper seems like it would be a hassle when using the restroom.

being from the south, i know that skirts are the way to go when it's hot. however, i'd bring some baby powder or something to reduce the serious heat rash you can incur on your thighs. unless you're a skeleton and your thighs don't touch when you walk, you definitely will need something between them so the skin doesn't fall off after the first day.

[Paisleyy]

it all depends. if you're one of those people who likes getting right up front & being squished in the crowds, i wouldn't reccomend a skirt unless it was long & tight enough at the top that it's not going to fall down or come up. if you are one of those people, & still don't want to wear pants, then wear a skirt or a dress with cutoffs underneath. that's what i usually do.

[Changoloco]

So I've only ever been to Cochella once and for only just the one day, and I wore jeans as I assumed that would be the most comfortable and worry free option, but it was so freaking hot and about an hour into the day I was regretting the decision. So this year I'm going for all 3 days and am thinking about wearing a skirt. My question to the girls who have or haven't done this what are the pros and cons of skirts vs jeans at an event like this. Obviously I'd be a lot cooler in the skirt, but has anyone ever been groped, or found that it wasn't such a good idea?!

I know this is a completely frivolous topic, but hey, inquiring minds are curious. Thanks.

I grope at least 5-6 girls in skirts a day when I'm at Coachella. It makes my year!!!!!!!!!! Wear your skirt, if I see ya, I'll grope ya.

[chiapet]

I had been thinking of wearing skirts with some sort of shorts underneath. Not for modesty so much as not worrying about putting my arse down on gross or scratchy grass/ground. The boxers suggestion is excellent!

[hellok]

I always like to wear skirts with boy shorts underneath - it's the most comfortable and there's nothing to worry about.

To avoid chub-rub (legs chafing due to heat and friction) try this new product. Chub-rub is a serious problem, I am glad there are companies finally addressing this need. (I have heard that men have similar rub problems and use this product for other sweaty areas.)

[ch33tah]

i would totally suggest to stay away from skirts/dresses. you'll constantly be worrying about flashing your no-no spots to strangers if you sit on the grass, and in all honesty, this is not a club, this is an out door festival and it's hot and you watn to be comfortable. i remember looking all the hoochie chicks who were wearing mini skirts and 4" high heels pracing through the grass. not saying you will be like that, but i always thought of the girls wearing dresses/skirts at coachella to be a bit odd.

i wore some super thin stretchy gaucho pants that i got from victoria's secret. they have a nice fold over waist and were perfect for the hot weather. they cut off just about mid calf and almost look like a skirt when im standing still.

here's a photo

planning on wearing the same ones again this year, only i got them in other colours too. ;]

bikini top + thin stretchy gaucho pants FTW ;]

[DuctTapedGerbil]

I'm wearing a tutu with bike shorts underneath. Then, I am going to keep a pair of capri length leggings in my sequined fanny pack for after dark.

[chiapet]

I don't think we were talking about hoochie skirts with heels. And what's to worry with modesty if one's wearing shorts underneath? The pants you are wearing look really warm. I am a whiny northern california who cannot tolerate knitwear when the temperature is over 75F :P

it's not knitwear i can assure you.
it's a very thin stretchy material. and when the temp goes upwards of 30C they are my godsend in the summer time. nice and breezey. ;]
