Your advice on what to wear to a concert....

[skylerwhite1]

Help! me and younger sis are going to see Sam Smith in October. My sis is 32, blonde, gorgeous, slim and great fun. Im not... but would love to wear something cool and look nice (Im 46) for the concert. Can any of you stylish mumsneters help??
So excited for this night out!!! haven't been to a concert since REM in the 90's - sighs

Just spit out me tea MyHovercraft!!!

Honestly, I really don't think people get dressed up for gigs. Just wear the jeans you like best with the t shirt or top you like best. You'll get hot so wear layers

Don't like my jeans as they are too tight!! SwedishE. `Might take a look in Zara/River Island to see what the youngens' are rocking these days. just want to look a bit unmumsy for this night.

Skyler - just wear whatever you are comfortable with. If you normally wear jeans, then wear them, if you don't, then wear something else. A "gig" is not a dressing-up type thing, like cocktail dresses or pashminas (unless you want to). But you can, of course - whatever is, whatever goes.
I'm 55 - I wear jeans, comfy boots, t-shirt and jacket to a gig. JJuoosshh my hair and paint my nails. Job done. Theatre or Opera = dress up a bit more - dressy jeans, high-heeled shoes, fancier, floatier blouse.
Err on the side of smart casual - you will look fab!
Enjoy your concert

I got these phase eight jeans this weekend. They're lovely! Very flattering and very stylish. They're more black than grey and they're waxed so have a bit of a sheen. They're also more skinny than straight. I bought them for a night out and thought they were perfect! Can also be made casual with a wooly jumper.
