f you are not a regular concert-goer and you’re not sure what to wear to a concert you can feel pretty daunted by your options. You will worry that you won’t fit in and you’ll have a hard time deciding what to wear. You need to feel comfortable and confident, but it’s hard to know which clothes suit a scene that you don’t know very well. Perhaps you are going out on a date or perhaps you are entertaining some clients – no matter what your reasons for heading off to a concert you’ll want to know that you are dressed appropriately. In this article we will tell you what sort of things to wear for a variety of different musical events – read on to find out more.
A Classical Concert
Classical concerts are generally held in music halls, cathedrals or churches so it is always advisable to wear something that errs on the side of conventional. Generally classical music fans are slightly older in age and they tend to wear smart clothing that is neither too glamorous nor too casual. Opt for a sophisticated skirt or trouser suit and throw a lightweight blazer or cardigan over the top to keep warm. Flat shoes are generally better for classical concerts and don’t forget to take a bag with you to keep some makeup and your phone (which should be turned off!)
An Indie Gig
Indie gigs are generally pretty laid back affairs where anything goes, so don’t be afraid to wear pretty much whatever you feel most comfortable in. When you get there you’ll find people dressed in quite a gothic style as well as some other alternative fashions going on. Some people look edgy while others go for a kitsch, old fashioned look. Make sure you accessorize your outfit really well and put your hair up. Anything edgy will look really good so have a look in the shops for something new and on trend.
A Rock Gig
If you are heading off to a rock gig then you can pretty much bet that it will be a sweaty, riotous affair! Even if it’s cold outside you will get very warm once you start dancing, so make sure you wear plenty of layers that you can strip off as you warm up. Most venues have cloakrooms where you can leave your coat, hat and scarf but don’t leave anything valuable there as they won’t accept responsibility for them. Leave expensive items of jewelry such as diamond earrings and silver necklaces at home and instead opt for costume jewelry which you are not so attached to. Rock concerts get pretty hectic and you don’t want to risk losing your favorite pieces of jewelry.
If you are in any doubt as to what to wear to any musical event then it’s best to have a look at pictures online and notice what other people tend to wear. The chances are that as long as you are yourself you won’t go too far wrong, so don’t feel under pressure to dress completely differently to the way you normally do.
