Concert Series - Outfit ideas

Hey guys!

So I thought that since 'concert season' is coming up that I would begin a mini concert series on my blog! Every week will be a different topic, such as make up and hair ideas for a concert, tips and tricks for a concert and that sort of stuff. This week I will be showing you various outfit ideas to wear to a concert :) If you are like me and are a professional concert goes ;) then this might be something you are interested in, who knows!


For me, I have 4 concerts coming up within the next few months, so I know that outfit ideas is something that I will be on the look out for in the next few weeks. Hopefully this gives you some inspirations and ideas as to what you could wear to a concert you might be going to, or if you like fashion this might be interesting to you as well! I don't really know, this might be silly but I'll go with it! :P

I will split this into two separate categories - Girly/dressy outfit, more casual/ and comfy outfits. These are the two that I normally would go for, depending on who it is that I am seeing in concert and where the concert is going to be at (e.g outside or at an arena) and also if I am standing or have a seat. 

Girly and dressy outfits: 

Ok, so if I am going to a concert and I am standing but I want to dress nicely then I would go for something such as a jumpsuit or play suit and then just casual pumps or plimsolls and then glam it up more with my jewelry. Here are some examples; 



I thought this outfit would be good as it would be comfortable when you are standing but it still is very feminine and still quite dressy. The flat shoes would suit as if you are standing you normally would be standing in a queue outside the venue for hours (experience!) 

  • TIP: If you are standing, I suggest wearing flat shoes that have a strap around the ankle, which means that if you are running to the front they won't fall off! 
To add to this outfit, depending on the season you might want to add a light jacket, such as a blazer or even a leather jacket would suit this look as well, if you wanted more of an edge.


If you aren't standing and can brave wearing heels to a concert, then this is a look I would wear;



I really like this dress because of the floral print and I think it looks really pretty and girly, however adding the black accessories to it makes it not too girly. The black platform heels wouldn't be too hard to walk in due to the platform and I think that the ankle strap is important as it means your shoes won't fall off if you are jumping along to a song! The bag is also big enough to hold all you need and I think it is important to take a shoulder bag rather than just a clutch or a big hold-all carry bag as it means you won't set it down and lose it! To add to the outfit, you could put on a black blazer and add some bracelets and other jewelry pieces :) This is defo something I would wear to a concert - only I would find cheaper shoes!! Also, depending on the season, you could add black tights or even skin coloured nude tights to keep your legs warm!

As well as dresses and jumpsuits, girly girls can also wear shorts or skirts to a concert. I would suggest shorts for an outdoor summer concert. Also skirts can be wore both in the summer and winter (if you add tights) Also, very on trend right now (watch me try to be a pro at style!!) is skorts (looks like a skirt but is actually shorts..how clever!) I am loving skorts right now as I think that they look really cool and they are so comfy! Skorts are in most high street shops at the minute, however I am seriously loving River Islands as they have something for every occasion and ones that suit everyone!! So defo check them out if you are looking to invest in a skort for the right price! :)

Casual/ comfy outfits - 

Ok, so these outfits are for the girls who like to be comfy and casual at a concert. I think that you don't always need to dress up for a concert, jeans are perfectly acceptable, and lets be honest whoever it is you are going to see won't really care what you are wearing as long as you are there supporting them! :) 

So, if you want to wear jeans to a concert, pick your most comfy pair that you know won't fall down when you are jumping along singing!! Here is an outfit that I would wear if I was going to wear jeans to a concert; 





I chose a pair of black, high rise skinny jeans as this is most likely what I would wear as it would match a lot of tops. If it was in the summer you could wear mid-wash or bleached jeans as it would be more appropriate. I didn't know what top to pair it with as everyone's style is different so I went with one that I would most likely wear, and it lets the band/singer know that you love them ;) #cringe also I was attracted to the flower print! You could wear a jumper or blouse if you preferred or even a band/singer merch/concert t-shirt! Which is probably what most of the 'fangirls' would want to wear! :D Also by adding the converse it makes it more casual and converse are SO comfortable! If you wanted you could wear vans or any other type of plimsoll style shoe :) Since this was a casual outfit I didn't add any jewelry to the picture, but of course if you wanted to then it would suit perfectly! :)

Lastly, if you wanted to not be as casual by wearing jeans then wearing a nice pair of shorts would also really work when going to a concert, especially if it is an outdoor concert during the summer! :D There are so many options when it comes to shorts, such as denim or leather or other texture (such as glitter!) and you can get any colour of shorts, so just go with whatever you prefer!

I hope this has given you some inspiration for the next concert that you are going to! :) I really enjoyed writing this post and think I am going to make a concert series giving you some tips, my experiences of concerts and hair and make up ideas? If you would be interested in this then let me know! :D

If you made it to the end of this very long blog post then well done, you get a gold star!! :)

Sorry this took me so long to make and that's why I haven't posted in ages!! Also I hope you all are loving the new look of my blog page, it needed spruced up for Spring ;)

Until next time, love and happiness,

*Disclaimer* I am not a fashion expert, these are just my personal options that I wear to concerts, also I don't know everyone's style so I tried to be general :) **
