It's officially "brat girl" summer with the recent release of Charli XCX's latest album Brat. Sabrina Carpenter's "Please Please Please" and Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" are taking over the charts on Spotify. Everyone is talking about Chappell Roan. With a great summer of music also means some of the most anticipated concerts on the horizon. If you're planning on booking seats for the buzzy shows coming up, there are also great outfit recommendations to know about, courtesy of Who What Wear's fashion editors.
Curious to know their ideas for stylish concert outfits, I asked our team to share the exact outfits they would wear or have worn recently. Their looks range from straight-leg jeans to dresses to leopard miniskirts, and more. If you already have tickets en route, your outfit is as good as sorted as well. Ahead, you'll find the best concert outfit ideas, according to fashion editors.
The Minidress Outfit
"No matter what type of concert I'm attending for my favorite hip-hop or country artist, I frequently wear one outfit formula: a minidress, knee-high boots, and a shoulder bag. What's great about this simple pairing is that it's straightforward, so you won't be stressing about what to wear. Plus, it always looks chic, it's comfortable enough to wear on a long night out, and it's adaptable for any venue or genre." — Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, editor
The Jeans Look
"I dress pretty casually for concerts, as they always seem to involve a lot of walking and standing. My idea of the perfect outfit is pretty simple: jeans and a cute top with walkable heels and the smallest bag I own since there are usually size restrictions." — Allyson Payer, senior editor
The Skirt Look
"I love getting playful with my fashion choices when attending a summer concert. I'd probably go for a leopard-print miniskirt and a shirt with mesh flats so I can be comfortable and dance! I'd finish the look by layering on plenty of cool necklaces." — Judith Jones, senior market editor
The Band Tee Look
"Whether I'm going to see the Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney, I always wear a band tee to match the performer. I'll style it with an oversize army jacket and a pair of straight-leg jeans. I hate wearing open-toed shoes to concerts because the floors tend to be beer splattered, so I'll wear either sneakers or a pair of lace-up boots." — Erin Fitzpatrick, associate director, fashion news
The Boot Look
"When it comes to getting dressed for a concert, the first question I like to ask myself is, Can I really dance in this outfit? I recently wore a minidress, a leather jacket, and Western-inspired boots to see Bad Bunny. I kept in mind that I wanted a dress I could wear a supportive bra with and that wasn't too short so I wouldn't be fidgeting with my outfit at all. It ended up being the perfect look for the occasion. A concert is definitely one of the best opportunities to make a fashion statement and take a little bit of a risk, but it's never worth sacrificing your comfort over it because you'll remember your experience seeing one of your favorite artists more than what you wore." — Sierra Mayhew, associate editor
