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

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

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 always wear a skirt or dress. Just make sure that it's long/loose enough that you can sit on the grass comfortably.

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

^Noted, thanks.

[rampaige]

A skirt or dress is definitely the way to go. I agree, make sure it's long enough to comfortably sit in. And avoid white...no worries about grass stains on your rear.

[rampaige]

Also, I had no problems with getting groped or anything of the like. Then again, my skirts were long-ish (knee length), so an itty bitty mini might entice some errant hands.

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

Haha, I definitely won't be sporting a mini, and from the day I went didn't really think the Coachella crowd was the sexual harrasment sort, but I just want to err on the side of caution as I don't want to end up one of those stories. *Goes to dig through closet for appropriate length skirts.

Haha, Thanks.

Hahaha, no skorts. Only Mom's and toddlers wear those. Hahaha.

[rampaige]

Wow, that thing is fugly. Sadly, it is also identical to the one I wore when I was 8.

[Balthazar B]

Wear a skirt...

a short one.

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

^I suspect that's meant more for your enjoyment than my comfort.... ;P

[Glamour Damaged]

I say go for capris that arent jean material. Jeans material gets hot. With a skirt id always be worrying about how to sit when your resting on the grass, and it gets cold at night. Khaki Capri pants are the way to go

[antpeople]

A tennis skirt is good too. The micro fibre and the skort thing = comfort

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.

You can get "summer weight" jeans. They sell them on J Crew all the time.

i wore a stretch jean mini. i honestly didn't really care, hahah. i get way too hot and sweaty to even think about wearing a longer skirt, let alone shorts or pants. i didn't have any issues with harrasment or anything. trust me, there will be girls dressed sluttier than you who will be on the receiving end of that groping.

[MusicIsMyBoyfriend]

^Hahaha, I'm sure that's the truth.

Wasn't that on the ad posters? Coachella 2007 - The Year The Sluts Take Over!

[rampaige]

I'm pretty sure sluts are headlining.

[el_harderino]

Hey... World needs sluts to.

[chappiz369]

and don't forget the sunblock, unless you wanna look like a shrimp

[SFChrissy]

Skorts have too much fabric...

Go light 'n short and throw on some bikini bottoms to keep the goodies covered...if your laying on the grass and take a moment to air out...you don't really care if someone seeez your bikini bottoms vs your undies...and you get to work on sunning the bottom 1/2!!!

Lightweight capri's are great too!!!

[woogie846]

What about basketball shorts? Comfortable, light, and not that exposing.
