10 Concert Outfit Ideas To Wear To Your Next Show | Swift Wellness (2024)

10 Comfortable Concert Outfit Ideas

One of the most important parts of choosing a concert outfit is comfort. Depending on the concert venue, you might be on your feet all night (dancing or head-bobbing), seated, or even walking around if you’re attending a multi-day festival. We’re here to help provide concert outfit ideas that keep style, practicality, and comfiness top of mind.

Intimate Venue

Going to a concert during the week at a smaller and more intimate venue? Even if you’ve had a long day, there is still that excitement to have a fun night at the show. However, with a busy schedule, you want to dress up, but keep it low-key.

We suggest pulling out a closet staple—the classic leather jacket—and pairing it with a black graphic tee, whether it’s one of the artists you’re seeing or another one of your favorite bands. Wide-legged and flared pants are a big trend for this year, but they’re also super comfortable. Depending on your mood, wear shoes that are easy on your feet, such as classic Chuck Taylors, or platform shoes if you need some extra height. If it’s a chilly night, put on a black beanie to top this concert outfit off!

Work-to-Concert Ready

Maybe you’re short on time, and you’re heading from the office straight to the concert! You can always pre-pack your outfits and change clothes, but that can be inconvenient, especially in a rush. So, wear an outfit that is not only office appropriate, but also stylish enough for a concert. This is when your favorite oversized blazer will be of great use! Pair this blazer with a cropped turtleneck top and black skinny jeans. Wear calf-high boots or chunky platform ones—choose the pair that you feel are most comfortable for working during the day and dancing throughout the evening. Stack rings and earrings on for some extra style.

Coachella-Inspired

Coachella is known to be one of the biggest music festivals, and it also becomes a fashion show for attendees and celebrities alike. It’s safe to say that we can all say goodbye to the flower crown. From my own experience of going to Coachella, the festival makes you want to wear clothes that you wouldn’t wear every day, but it’s also important to still be practical. This year, cargo pants are becoming increasingly popular, and it’s even more stylish to wear a colorful pair. Go for a two-toned look with a pair of bright cargo pants and a crop top in a lighter shade (or vice versa!). Accessorize with statement chokers and earrings, but also have fun with colored eyeliner (another big trend) to match your whole outfit. Coachella and other music festivals are usually multi-day events, so this concert outfit idea is comfortable for at least one of them!

Summer Festival

For any sunny music festivals coming your way, consider including this concert outfit into one of your lineups. Pull out your favorite high-waisted denim shorts, wear a trendy asymmetrical or cut-out top, and comfortable leather booties. Mix in a pair of retro-style sunglasses and a crossbody bag to hold your belongings comfortably. Lastly, since it’s so important to take care of your skin while under the sun, make sure to protect your lips with a sustainable lip balm and color. Don’t forget to stay hydrated! A reusable water bottle is a must-have to enjoy a day full of live music.

Fall Music Festival

Not all fun music events are only in the spring and summer! Music festivals are becoming more popular during the fall months, too. Arguably, with the chance for cooler weather, this means tickets may be less expensive and with fewer people. However, going to an outdoor concert in the fall calls for dressing a little warmer, and the layers you select are important. We suggest a light jacket—one that is easy to carry around, like a bright cropped puffer or windbreaker. Put on a colorful crop top to match your jacket and grab a pair of comfortable platform sneakers and baggy jeans. Lastly, choose a fanny pack to carry all your essentials, and don't forget that reusable water bottle!

Euphoria-Inspired

The hit HBO series, Euphoria, skyrocketed not only fashion trends—especially Y2K styles—but popularized clothing items that pushed boundaries. Music festivals and concerts can be a perfect place to wear clothes you wouldn’t wear daily. And, although it might not be an outfit you’d find yourself wearing often, that doesn’t mean you will have to sacrifice comfort. The centerpiece for a Euphoria-inspired concert outfit is a patterned mini skirt and a sheer long-sleeved top. Finish it off with a leather shacket and a pair of extra stacked platform boots. Accessorize with bright nail art, colorful makeup, and jeweled eyes for that extra-Euphoria touch.

Weekend Ready

A party-inspired concert outfit that will ensure you’re ready for any outing or event after the show, especially if you are in the mood to see where the night will take you. The concert outfit idea that best matches this energy includes dancing shoes and a little black dress. We suggest chic leather cowboy boots for comfort and style, accessorized with a choker, gold hoops, and a bold lip color. Top your outfit off with a light jacket that is easy to hold while you’re dancing and singing along to your favorite artist!

Classic & Fun

Sneakers, a cool hat, and comfy pants are always an easy and classic outfit idea. We suggest starting with a soft white tee and black leggings as the base. Accessorize with a neon beret and an oversized jacket—choose from a denim style, utility design, or ultra-cool leather. Classic sneakers to match with the ensemble are Old Skool Vans or your favorite Chuck Taylors—any color works! For more style inspiration, wear winged eyeliner for extra fashionista vibes. This outfit guarantees style and comfort—exactly what you’re looking for during a show.

Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Or maybe a disco ball? This concert outfit calls for all the sparkles, and we are here for it. Find the shiniest top you can (like this halter style), and pair it with leather pants—real or faux. If you’re thinking heels, kitten heels will work, but for more disco vibes, find a shiny pair of platform heels. After all, platforms are generally more comfortable than they look since they have that added support. Complete the look with a high bun, a shimmery eyeshadow, and a pink, shiny lip color. Sometimes our outfits are inspired by our favorite artists and singers, so think of Beyoncé or Rihanna when putting this outfit on.

Bold & Bright

We might have recommended bright colors throughout this post, but why not go all out in a monochrome ‘fit? Choose your favorite trendy color—lavender, tangerine orange, or neon pink—but we suggest trying another popular color of the year: “acid” green. Find some loose trousers and a matching color bodysuit. Depending if you’re outdoors or at an indoor venue, wear kitten heels for an elevated look or keep it casual with white sneakers. Keep the monochrome going with matching accessories—from jewelry to your handbag.

Whether you’re seeing your favorite artist this week or have a packed concert schedule coming your way, these outfits will surely give you some inspiration. They can help you get out of your rut of thinking: What should I wear to this concert? Mix and match and make it your own!
