Festival Style: What To Wear To A Rock Concert
Knowing what to wear and how to dress at a festival or a rock concert isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone. In fact, it’s one of those things that requires quite a bit of planning, especially if the event is going to last a couple of days.
That’s where this guide will help. We run through everything you need to know so that you can make the best possible decisions and have a great time to boot!
Band Tee
The most obvious choice is to find yourself a band tee. These get you in the mood immediately for the concert and make you feel more like a part of the event.
Band tees are essentially a nod to the culture of the band and what it’s trying to create. It shows that you’re a part of the tribe and you’re not afraid to let your true colors flow.
The best band tees have a graphic on the front and then tour dates on the back. What’s nice about this is that it reminds you of the year you wore the band tee every time you put it on, transporting you back to the past (perhaps when you felt happier and more content).
If you want an old band tee, you can usually find these on Etsy or Preloved. They’re very cheap and they allow you to get into the spirit of the event without having to spend any money on the overpriced merch at the concert itself.
Leather Jacket
If you want to say “rock ‘n’ roll”, nothing really does it better than a leather jacket. If you get real leather, it’ll give you a kind of edge that other people at the concern simply won’t have (as well as keeping you warm in cold weather).
Wearing a leather jacket is fun because it gives you options. You can pair it with a slip dress if you want a grunge look, or wear denim with patches for a punk look.
What’s nice about rock concerts is that you actually have a lot more choice over what to wear and how to accessorize. You don’t need to stick with the tried-and-tested options if you don’t want to, and you certainly don’t need to dress like you’re seeing Taylor Swift.
Ripped Jeans
You also want to look into getting yourself a nice pair of ripped jeans (if you don’t have any already). These will give you a rebellious spirit and immediately get you in the mood for just rocking out.
If you want to take it a step further, you could opt for leather pants. Naturally, these aren’t for everyone, but they could be a great option if you want to experiment.
If you go for jeans, make sure you pair them with combat boots. These will help round out your outfit and make it more impactful.
If you have leather pants, you might want to soften your outfit by combining them with a flowy blouse or a band tee. Again, these can change how you feel and the image you project.
Get The Right Piercings
Of course, everyone knows that rockers love their piercings, so you might want to experiment with yours. Earrings are great, but you could also read a guide to rook piercings here.
If you’re not sure what piercing you want, look at what rockers themselves sport. They will often provide inspiration you can follow.
If you’re going to a summer festival, it’s also worth exploring body piercings. These are a fantastic option if you want to show off what you’ve got and don’t care who sees it.
Clunky Boots Or Sneakers
Clunky boots or sneakers look good at rock concerts, and most people will be wearing them. They are ideal for muddy fields, dancing on dance floors, mosh pits, and more.
You can also wear boots and clunky sneakers with almost anything, like jeans, shorts, or dresses. Converses also work if you want to add a little extra volume.
Just remember to break in your shoes before wearing them for a couple of days at a rock concert. Otherwise, the risk of blisters is high.
Add Statement Accessories
Finally, it’s worth adding some statement accessories when you go to a rock concert. Things like studded bracelets and chain belts really mark you apart. If you can wear a bandana, that’s even better.
These accessories give your look a new vibe and edge. It becomes clear that you’re 100% focusing on the rock concert and nothing else.
