Concerts are quite fun and exciting, especially when meeting your favorite artist. Whether going to a Hip hop concert or Beyonce, wearing something fashionable yet functional is a great element for your dressing. You want to look chic while dancing like nobody’s watching and take Instagram-worthy pictures. Not sure what to wear to a concert? We’ve got you! From double denim to leather jackets and cross bags, we’ve rounded up the best outfit ideas to wear to a concert.
Before deciding what to wear, try to consider the following first:
- What type of concert is it? (Orchestral, rock, hip-hop, RnB?)
Different music genres have distinct looks, so let the music be your outfit guide. For hip hop, sporty brands look great with hoodies, and leggings are perfect for pop.
- Where is the venue (A club, stadium, outdoor?)
There is really no right or wrong when dressing up for a concert; just make sure you wear something suitable for the venue.
- How is the weather?
If it’s a winter concert, the last things you want to wear are shorts and a crop top, which brings the advice; dress appropriately for the weather. Bring your hoodie and sweater, or wear your leather jacket if it’s chilly. Wear a lightweight dress or a romper if it’s a summer concert.
- Will you be standing or sitting?
If you will be standing, you don’t want your feet in heels that will make you uncomfortable. Concerts are meant to be fun, so ditch your heels for sandals so you can enjoy yourself. If you would be sitting or don’t mind wearing heels, by all means, wear them.
- What time of the day will the concert take place? Night or daytime?
The time of the concert can also influence what you wear to the concert. For example, a floral-designed outfit will look great if it’s daytime.
Concert Outfit for the Ladies
All the ladies in the house, consider these outfits for your next concert:
1. T-shirt and Jeans
Sometimes, simple is better, so opt for your favorite pair of jeans, some t-shirt, and a jacket or sweater for layering. Wear sneakers or other footwear that will let you stand on your feet for a while. This style idea works for both ladies and men and is great for pop and hip hop concerts.
2. Wear Sneakers, Sandals, or Other Comfortable Shoes
Concerts often take hours, so you need to wear something comfortable, especially if you are dancing or standing. We recommend sneakers, trainers, sandals, and low heel boots. If you will be sitting at the concert for a symphony, you can wear your heels.
3. For Country Concerts: Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots are perfect for country concerts so go for knee-high cowboy boots combined with denim shorts and a patterned blouse for an ultra-chic effect.
4. Body Hugging Dress + Sneakers
Wear a body-hugging dress paired with sneakers and statement earrings for a figure-flattering look.
5. Cargo Pants + Crop Top
Headed to a rap concert? Try your cargo pants and crop top paired with chunky sneakers. You can add a bomber jacket to the mix if it’s a cold season. You can also switch the crop top for a bra top if that feels more like your style.
6. Floral Top + Jeans
Pair your favorite jeans, whether plain or ripped, with a cute floral/printed top, and throw in your sunnies to the mix. Accessorize by wearing a pendant necklace and a stack of hand bracelets for a more sophisticated look.
7. The Rock Uniform: Band Tees + Denim Bottoms
A band tee is one of the best tops you can wear to a rock concert. Pair it with straight-leg jeans or shorts and classic pumps or sneakers, and you are good to go. Asides from rock concerts, this style is perfect for any show and venue.
8. All Black Everything
Black is an excellent color for concerts, so embrace an all-black head-to-toe look and pair a short black gown or romper with your black cowboy boots and black bags. Or you can wear a cute black skirt paired with a shirt and a black leather jacket. You can add some sunglasses and laid-back accessories to stay stylish.
9. Jackets
It’s a great idea to bring a jacket with you because it usually gets cold at the venue before the show starts. Your jacket can be leather, corduroy, denim, or anything that can keep you warm.
10. Double Denim: Best for Country Concert
Going to a country concert? We recommend double denim! Jeans are great and practical for a concert and even better when you pair them with a denim jacket of another shade and sneakers. Opt for blue jeans, a button-down plaid, denim jackets, and some Cuban heeled boots. Another fashion-forward to tock the denim on denim is wearing a denim skirt instead of jeans.
11. Sequin Top and Leggings
Pair your sequined tops with black leggings, leather pants, or jeans, and you look great for a pop concert. Wear sine comfortable heels or opt for more comfortable shoes. To take things a step further, accessorize with hoop earrings and bracelets.
12. A-Line Skirt
For a more feminine and stylish look, wear a knee-length a-line skirt paired with a cute sweater or short-sleeved shirt. If you are tall, you are good with a maxi A-line skirt, and if you’re curvy, we say go for a short A-line skirt. Add a chic bag and dangling earrings, and you will epitomize chic fashion.
13. Boiler Suit
Like a jumpsuit, a boiler suit requires little styling and is super comfortable. Just throw it on, pair it with some mules or trainers, and you are good to go. A great style tip is wearing vibrant hues boilersuits

If you want to make a serious fashion statement, rock a mini dress with some boots. You can wear ankle or knee-length boots; both look incredibly stylish on a dress. For your dress, you can wear something plain or have fun with animal or floral prints. Finish off the look by rocking statement jewelry and a mini bag.
15. Extra Long Tees
Feel free to wear your oversized and extra long tee shirts and style as a dress. Pair it with fishnet tights and finish the look with some boots or trainers. For a delicate touch, add a bracelet or several layered together. This simple outfit is a great way to keep things casual, comfortable, and effective.
16. Jeans Shorts and Cowboy Boots
What is a country concert without some cowboy boots? Try a pair of short jeans with a simple white shirt and cowboy boots. Or keep your outfit over the top by adding your cowboy hats too. Feel free to inject colors by replacing the white shirt with hot pink or blue.
