What to wear to a concert (male)

TheBiz · 20-06-2016 12:57am #1

I'm going to an outdoor gig in July (Kodaline woo)
And I'm not sure what to wear for it, it's in Marlay Park so all those Cochella gear videos on YouTube aren't much help.

I'm 19, I'm thinking maybe skinny/slim fit jeans, a t shirt and old white converse I'll throw out afterwards, but maybe that's a little plain.
I know last year people went to Avicii wearing snapbacks (don't suit my egg head!) brightly coloured vests, shorts etc.

I might throw an open flannel over it. But again.. Maybe a little too boring..

Any ideas?

Eh... it doesn't matter?

Seriously though, a few tips:

1. Wear layers. If its hot, you can take them off. If it's cold, you can put them on.
2. Be prepared for rain
3. Very prepared for rain. That doesn't necessarily mean wellies, but converse aren't gonna do you much good in a muddy field. If it's a concert venue, then wear either boots or leather trainers - the more water resistant the better.
4. Have a raincoat / mac rolled up in your bag. Did I mention be prepared for rain?
5. Make sure you're comfortable, as outdoor gigs can be a long day / night out. Often with lots of walking.

Divers suit, sombrero, and wellies. The wellies should be pinstriped if you want to stand any chance of getting into the VIP area.

What about a pinstripe or paisley print Sombrero?

If it's hot then I would suggest maybe bermuda shorts and a nice shirt. Slim fit jeans if it's chilly with a button down tshirt or long sleeve depending on weather and time.

I wouldn't stress it too much I don't think anyone's really going to notice. What you've suggested yourself sounds good I'd go with a pair of ripped/distressed jeans, and then the white converse, T-shirt and shirt over it. But if the weather is better I'd go with a pair of shorts, T-shirt, for shoes you could go with white converse or Toms. Accessories wise I don't think snapbacks look great I think a simple watch like a Daniel Wellington and a few bracelets would he fine.

Once it doesn't clash with the wellies we're all good.

Thanks,
Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of snapbacks, but I do like the look of vintage baseball hats, just not for a concert.
A Daniel Wellington watch is high up on my list of hopeful purchases!
