Outdoor day concert outfits

Daytime concerts mean all-day partying. Between the bottomless mimosas to kickstart your morning and the hours of dancing you’ll do at the concert, you need a fashionable and functional outfit that will allow you to sway throughout your day.

Outfit #1: Bold & Breezy

Convey your lively spirit by pairing bright colors and patterns with simple staples. A brightly colored asymmetrical skirt with a white bodysuit makes for a bold duo that pops. Keep yourself comfy by sporting a pair of comfortable flats. You’ll appreciate the lack of a heel as you enter your third hour of boogying down. And don’t worry about staying fresh on your feet—Rothy’s flats are machine washable, so they can keep up with all the concerts on your summer schedule. 


Outfit #2: Lawn Seat Chic

Maybe the closer seats were sold out, or maybe you and your group of friends just wanted to kick back with a few drinks and a picnic blanket. Either way, you ended up with lawn seats. Just because your seats are in the nosebleeds of the venue doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style. Grab your favorite pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and a glittery top for a laidback rocker-chic look. Complete the outfit with a pair of pointed black Rothy’s flats, some sunglasses, and a chic belt. .

Outdoor night concert outfits

Doors open at 6:30, the show starts at 7:30, and the sun sets at 8:00. Sure, it’ll still be warm out when you get there. But if you want to stay comfortable all night, you’ve got to plan your outfit accordingly. .

Outfit #1: Retro, Refined

Break out the old school flares and give them a sophisticated modern twist. A pair of high-waisted black bell-bottom jeans with an off-the-shoulder top bring that vintage ‘70s style into 2019. Accessorize with a colorful headscarf that can easily double as a shawl when the sun goes down. Pull it all together with a cute multi-layer necklace and a pair of wooden platforms.


Outfit #2: Gone With the Wind

No matter the weather, a flowy maxi skirt is always a good choice. Keep your legs protected from any chilly breezes while looking like a photo-ready fashionista by pairing a printed maxi skirt with a solid bell sleeve top. A wicker crossbody bag, ballet flats, and fun tassel earrings complete this easy-breezy summer concert outfit.

Rock concert outfits

Headbanging to sick guitar riffs should be done in style. Even if you have no intentions of moshing, you’ll be doing plenty of jumping and solo air-guitar strumming to warrant these savvy ensembles.

Outfit #1: Instagram Baddie

Pleather may not be the most practical material choice for the summer, but if you pick your pieces correctly, you can stay cool while looking even cooler. A vegan leather zipper skirt matched with a snakeskin bodysuit is a definite crowd pleaser. Top this ‘gram-worthy rock concert outfit off with a pair of black platform ankle booties, a black moto jacket, and a bright red manicure.


Outfit #2: Your Moshpit Moment

The circle pit is wide open and you’re ready to dive in. A distressed band tee, a pair of high-waisted shorts and fishnet tights make for the ultimate mosh-ready outfit. Skip any extra jewelry, you won’t want to lose it in all the excitement. A cute pair of slip-on sneakers are the comfiest and most practical shoes for channeling the inner rocker in you.

Pop concert outfits

Whether your pop concert lineup consists of Ariana Grande or Ed Sheeran, you need the perfect outfit to match the vibes of your favorite pop artists. We’ve got two stellar concert outfit ideas: one for the gal who wants to keep it classy, and another for the gal who likes to mix it up.

Outfit #1: Showstopper

You won’t have to be on stage to be the star of the show in this outfit. A red mini dress with capped sleeves, paired with some platform espadrille sandals make for a fun pop concert outfit. Accessorize with some dainty jewelry and a cute bucket bag for a complete look.


Outfit #2: The Groupie

Sometimes less is more, which is why this outfit works so well for that summertime heat. Break out those fall time knee-high boots and slip on an oversized band tee. Seriously, that’s all you’ll need for this cute concert outfit. Add a bit of glam with a couple of chunky bracelets, a floppy hat, and a funky pair of sunglasses.

Country concert outfits

Fans of country music always look forward to summertime shows. From the tailgating to the masses of cowboy boots, what’s not to love about country concerts? Practice that southern twang and brush up on your line dancing skills in these adorable outfits.


Outfit #1: Southern Belle

Looking for an occasion to wear a cute two-piece outfit? Now’s your chance! A pink crop top and skirt set paired with matching pink pointed toe flats will look stunning enough to make anyone smile. Finish this ensemble with a charming gold necklace for a runway-ready look.


Outfit #2: Carrie Underwood’s BFF

That girl next door look is a timeless classic that doesn’t get as much credit as it deserves. Basic as it may be, there’s no going wrong with a white tee and a pair of mom jeans. Throw on a pair of heavy-duty combat boots, and you’ll be well prepped to soak up the sun without letting any grass or mud cramp your style. Add some shine with a bright crossbody purse and a pair of simple hoop earrings.

EDM concert outfits

Nothing gets you fired up like a bass drop and an intense light show. Whether you’re a self-proclaimed raver or not, EDM concerts are your favorite place to just get lost in the music. Get creative with your EDM ensembles this year. 

Outfit #1: Go Hard or Go Home

Channel your inner party animal by breaking out the neon colors and sequins. A neon two-piece set is your one-stop-shop answer to the perfect EDM outfit. Find a matching pair of sunglasses and hair accessories to pull it all together in one fell swoop. A mini backpack is the perfect addition for keeping your hands-free all day and all night.


Outfit #2: Low-Key Head Bopper

You’re here to have a good time, but like to keep it as low-key as possible to really get into the music. Instead of going for a flashier outfit that will turn heads, you want to keep it cool and get lost in your own world. Opt for a simple bodysuit with bright bottoms for optimal coverage and cuteness. Kick it old school by wearing an anklet, doing your hair up with fun scrunchies or digging up those long-forgotten platform sneakers.
