What to wear to a concert? Well, whether you’re a Beyoncé gal or the sweet tunes of Sam Smith’s arena tour are more your speed, we’ve got the outfit for you. Rule number one, however, when it comes to concert-going, is that your outfit is as comfortable as it is cool. Of course, there are a few factors to consider: You need to be able to dance, possibly hoof it long distances and, if the concert is outdoors, brave the elements. To help, we’ve compiled five looks of some of our street style stars. Get ready to rock out in style.
From the super-cool grunge look to a more vinyl trousers-and-Converse vibe, there are plenty of styles that you’re bound to love and want to pin. And if you’re not a skinny jeans kind of girl, don’t worry—you won’t be forced into a pair of drainpipes, as there are many ways to make a dress or skirt look ready to rock. By taking inspiration from the likes of Pernille Teisbaek and Gilda Ambrosio, we guarantee there’ll be an ensemble that’s right for you. Click through to see and shop five concert-ready outfits.
