What to wear to a concert

10 replies

I've got 2 concerts to go in a week and have no idea what to wear. One is indoors other is outdoors.

Last concert I went to see was Bros but I feel grolsch tops on my shoes aren't appropriate at these ones! Grin

I'm 43. Curvy size 12/14 with big boobs. Haven't got a huge budget think more next, Dorothy Perkins, fat face.

Wear thin layers that you can take off and tie around your waist. Don't take a handbag. They're both a pain in the arse when trying to have a good bop, and delay your entry into the venue in these times of heightened security.

Similar age & size here. I usually go with a denim skirt (pockets!) over leggings and comfy boots. Can whip leggings off if weather heats up. T-shirt or vest, cross body bag & long sleeved top tied onto it/around waist for journey home. For outdoors add sunscreen & sunnies, baseball cap (folds easily or hangs off bag) and emergency rain poncho. I take a picnic blanket to festivals so I can lie around drinking beer, it rolls up small and has a shoulder strap. Adele crowd will probably be more dressed up than BA but that's just my guess. I despise BA but I bet the atmosphere will be great. Oh and bring hand sanitiser and tissues as the loos will probably ming!

Check what additional security is currently in place for bags. Robbie Williams recently was no bag bigger than an a5 sheet of paper.

Sorry but you don't need all that crap mentioned above. If you are outside and on the pitch put an all day sunscreen on or if it's to rain a waterproof hat. If it rains you are going to get wet, nothing can stop that.

Jeans, comfy shoes, t shirt and something like a light jumper or shirt on top so if you do get hot you can take off and out around your waist.

daily some of us do need all that crap! All fits into an A5 bag though.

I go to many concerts and generally at outdoor festivals anything goes but be prepared for the weather, check weather report 5 days in advance. Take a pacamac which you can tye around your waist if it stops raining. Wear comfortable sandals/trainers or ankle boots. A small crossover bag to keep your hands free for drinking, dancing and clapping.
Indoors it can get hot so a loose camisole top over 3/4 trousers and sandals and bag as above. I have seen maxi dresses, Bardot tops over maxi skirts and play suits (personally would avoid these if you need to get in and out of the loo asap) whatever you wear have a great time 😀

Thanks. Some great advice here. Didn't think about hand sanitizer but fab idea.

I've got a pac a mac thing I can take and across body bag.

Is a blazer with skinny jeans and t shirt too dressy? Thinking of that for Adele.

I've no idea what Bryan Adams signs apart from anything I do song Blush going to have to do some serious you tubing!!

I'd wear jeans and a tee shirt to Bryan Adams and a maxi dress to Adele.
