Concert season is upon us. and unfortunately, deciding what to wear is harder than deciding who to see. Regardless of who you plan to see this year, a good outfit sets the tone for a good night. Consider this piece your go-to guide for how to dress for your upcoming concert schedule. From chic vintage-inspired pieces and cozy tops to supportive footwear, we’ve rounded up the 10 best pieces to incorporate into your concert attire.
A Band Tee
When choosing the best top to wear to a concert, might we recommend something sweet that also works if you wanted to dance like no one's watching? A band tee meets those requirements exactly. Because most concerts have cute merch waiting to be purchased, it's important to wear something cute in the meantime. You never know who you could meet standing in the line waiting to get in. In 2023 you don't even have to know any songs from the band whose T-shirt you're wearing, but it is always fun to widen your music taste.
As previously mentioned, we aren’t afraid to admit we’ve been ill-equipped in the clothing department at previous concerts—like wearing a mini skirt and heels! But when it comes to style, comfort, and practicality, you can’t go wrong with a pair of jeans or shorts. Especially if it's summer and especially if the concert is outside. Sometimes a band's set can go on for hours, so ensure you’ll be comfortable all night by wearing your favorite denim bottoms.

Cowboy boots have been a longtime staple for country concert goers, laid-back but recently they have gained more popularity in all genres. Pair them with an oversized tee or wear with some baggy jeans for a slouchy, laid back look.
Corset tops don't have to be ultra feminine. They can be worn with a pair of ripped denim jeans or punked out like the above with a graphic tee and a printed mini. Dress up a simple silhouette with lots of accessories or let a detailed design do all the talking.
Whether you are headed to Taylor Swift or Beyoncé, head-to-toe sequins are guaranteed to make a statement. Not to mention, you will glitter under the stage lights.
Before the show starts, it’s usually cold at the venue. That's because it hasn't been filled with sweaty bodies ready to dance. Because you never know what temperature it's going to be, it’s ideal to bring a jacket with you. Even though it feels annoying to carry an extra piece of clothing around, and even if you lose it in the crowd, you’ll be glad you brought it because all that sweaty dancing you'll be doing might turn into what feels like cold rain dripping down your body.
We can't stress enough that comfortable shoes are a must unless it’s a sit-down concert. The opera is a beautiful experience, but there's nothing more thrilling than shoving your body against a stranger to hear the music better. From waiting in line to dancing the night away while your favorite musical act performs, there’s a lot of standing. You’ll want to wear supportive footwear to avoid any post-concert foot pain.
Some concert outfits can be a little flimsy (micro crop tops we are looking at you). That is where denim comes in. Not only will this outfit keep you warm after the temp drops when the sun comes down, but it will also set you apart from the rest of the concertgoers.
Having to hold your phone or anything in your hands at a concert is anything but convenient. The only thing one should ever hold at a concert is back their tears from how much fun they are having. Concert safety is super important and it's the absolute worst thing when something gets lost or stolen because the chances of getting it back are very slim. Carrying a mini purse or crossbody bag is the perfect solution. Worried a purse search will slow you down? Opt for a stadium-approved clear bag to breeze right through security.
Crop tops are all over your social feeds, but IRL there are only a few opportunities to wear them. Concerts are the perfect place to bust them out. Wear a ribbed option for a little extra warmth or wear a bikini top to show a little more skin.
Building a wardrobe of timeless and high-quality basics is essential for simple but stylish dressing. Invest in well-made pieces like a classic white button-down shirt, a pair of well-fitting jeans, a tailored blazer, and a little black dress. These versatile staples serve as the foundation for numerous chic outfits.
A lightweight jacket, cardigan, or even an oversized shirt can serve as an additional layer. Remember to include a few practical accessories in your concert ensemble. A crossbody bag to keep your essentials close, a stylish hat for shade, and don't forget those sunglasses if the concert is during the day!
For girls, a lightweight dress or comfortable romper is a good choice. Keep it light to stay cool, but bring some layers in case you get chilled. A long sleeved button down shirt can be tossed on top of most outfits. Wear a romantic look for a country concert.
For a rock concert, you'll want to look a little edgy. Think dark colors, neutrals, simple casual pieces that fit the body, lots of leather, studs, or anything a little rebellious and sexy. Jeans are a no-brainer; if you have distressed or raw-hem jeans, they can look very cool. Leggings will also fit right in.
Neutral Palette: Keep it suave with shades of navy, gray, beige, and earthy tones. These are the colours that whisper elegance - not shout trends. Refined Accessories: Enhance your style with simple yet refined accessories.
No matter what, you'll want to wear some comfortable shoes. High heels, sandals, and flat shoes are all going to have you hurting by the end of the night. Some comfortable tennis shoes with cushioning will ensure you're comfortable throughout the concert and your feet will thank you for it when you get home.
Is there a dress code? No, you can wear whatever you like. Jeans and trainers are fine, but equally if you like the idea of dressing up, this would also be acceptable. Usually the only people wearing red and gold jackets and shiny shoes are on stage though!
There have been notable exceptions to the rule for band shirts. People have been kicked out of venues for wearing wrong, or offensive shirts. Exceptions to the rule can happen, but this is not true for most bands. For everyone but Metallica versus Slayer, wear a band shirt to their concert!
It definitely depends on the child, not the age of the child and work up. Some 2 years can sit still, some 12 year olds can't. Understanding your child's attention span and abilities is key. Start with smaller concerts geared at younger kids and classical music.
It's best to check in with your parents before you buy tickets to make sure you'll be allowed to go. Have a conversation with your parents to figure out how you will travel to and from the concert, and to talk about ground rules for staying safe at the event.
You can definitely attend a BTS concert at 12 years old, it's K-pop so generally it's family-friendly but it's best to get seated seats as standing sections can be dangerous because of pushing or you may get crushed if you are not big enough.
Even if you're not going for a mosh-pit, head-banging, freestylin' experience, your KISS concert outfit should keep you on your feet and active. For a classic rocker look, think moto boots, combat boots, or Dr.Martens. Any dark boots or solid shoes in a dark color win over sandals, flip flops, or backless shoes.
If you want to wear an outfit that makes a statement for your next concert, we've got you covered with fashion-forward (and dance-ready) ideas for all music genres. Goodbye, jeans and a band tee. Hello, feather boas, colorful cowboy boots, and fringe dresses!
When picking your outfit, make sure to dress for the type of gig it is that you're going to. For example, ripped jeans and a graphic tee would be perfect for a rock gig, but might not the look to go for at a classical concert (as much as we wish it was!).
Add texture, new materials like leather or suede and contrasting colors to make your dress more interesting. This is a great example of adding a third piece to a look to make it feel more complete and interesting.
