The difference between the trends that dominated Coachella in the aughts and those that are dominating the event these days cannot be understated: As photos show, there seems to have been no distinct "Coachella" aesthetic whatsoever back in 2007.
Audience members were seen wearing typical summertime outfits in the late '00s. Many festivalgoers wore baseball caps or visors and low-rise denim shorts, often paired with simple bikini tops, tank tops, and button-downs. The attire was casual, simple, and practical for enjoying music during a warm day.
