If you didn’t get your Coachella ticket before the festival sold out, don’t sweat it—you can have your own dance party at home and still dress the part. For the second year in a row, H&M will release a co-branded collection with clothing pieces featuring beading, fringe and bold prints, according to the Hollywood Reporter. There will be a pop-up shop at the festival, and the collection is set to hit U.S. stores on March 24.
