Concert dressing should survive standing, dancing, and the occasional shove toward the stage.
A graphic or textured top
Concerts are one of the few settings where a bolder graphic or textured piece feels exactly right. It's a chance to dress with a bit more personality than usual.
Jeans that move with you
You'll be standing, swaying, possibly dancing for hours. Jeans with a touch of stretch handle that far better than rigid denim.
Sneakers that can take a beating
Crowds step on shoes. Choose a pair you don't mind getting scuffed rather than your newest or most precious ones.
A light jacket with secure pockets
Venues get warm fast once the crowd fills in. A light jacket you can tie around your waist, with pockets that zip, keeps your phone and cash secure.
Layers you can tie, not just carry
Anything you bring should be wearable around your waist or shoulders — you'll have no free hands once the show starts, so coat-check-style carrying doesn't work.
