The right look for a gig is super important, isn’t it? Even though you’re about to experience the joy of live music, the thrill of the crowd, and the high-octane energy that you only get when seeing your favourite artist or group in the flesh, you’re also going to need to be able to dance. And dance like nobody’s watchin’, right babe?
Yep, choosing the right outfit is critical because whilst you might need to give a nod to your indie kid roots you also need to be able to move to the rhythm.
In this style guide, we’ll walk you through some perfect yet practical concert outfits, ensuring you rock fashion while immersing yourself in the much-anticipated atmosphere. We’re providing the hottest concert outfit ideas around. You just grab your tickets and let’s get ready to make a fashion statement!
Lace Off The Shoulder Mini Bodycon Dress
Outfits to wear to a concert
So you’ve got your tickets and it’s time to head out to your upcoming gig. But what do you need to think about when planning what to wear to a concert? Here at EGO, we have all the concert outfits you are ever going to need but let’s hit some basics before anything else.
First things first, it’s essential to consider the type of music you are heading out to enjoy. You can’t channel your inner rock chick in a baby-pink bodycon dress and you mustn’t go too glam for grime. It’s all about concert context (!) and we’ve got every one of those covered.
Our Low Rise Pocket Detail Utility Cargo Jeans would make the perfect focal piece for a rock-band-inspired outfit. Featuring a smokey grey denim material, distressed detailing, a wide leg, and a low rise, these jeans are the perfect choice for a rock-chick look. Complete the look with some high heels or kick-ass chunky trainers to keep your feet happy during hours of jumping and dancing.

Or, if you’re heading to a pop concert, embrace the vibrant and energetic atmosphere with a sexy and sultry outfit. Opt for a sequin dress or metallic mini dress such as our Black Square-Necked Embellished Crucifix Mini Dress which is exactly the kind of vibe you’ll need if you’re heading to a pop concert. Pair with some heels and a mini handbag and you’re good to go!
Alternatively, a quirky jumpsuit or a co-ord set paired with the right accessories can make a fashion-forward statement. Complement your look with comfortable yet stylish trainers or platform heels for some extra height. Extra height is always a bonus as you can then see your chosen artist or DJ above the crowds. Both sass and wisdom right there hun.
If you’re heading to a grime concert, streetwear-inspired looks can be both ‘in your face’ and friendly. Embrace the urban vibe with hoodies or sweatshirts, paired with baggy jeans or leggings. A figure-hugging unitard also makes a perfect outfit because it’s sexy and allows you to move freely when the beat beckons. We’re loving our Long Sleeve Scult Jumpsuit in Black. When styled with an oversized hoodie you’ve got the ideal look for a grimey, grungey vibe.

And, don’t forget to accessorise with chunky jewellery to complete the look! These stellar Oversized Stud Heart Earrings will finish off your outfit to perfection. Just add a pair of chunky boots and you’ll be vibing all night long. We’re just jel we’re not coming with you, girl!
What to wear to a standing concert
Now, when it comes to concert ‘fits, comfort is key, especially if you’re heading to a standing concert. Just think of the long hours you’ll spend on your feet. It’s worth investing in looks that are both cool and will stand the test of a good few hours bar-hopping, queuing for loos, and most importantly of all, dancing!
When choosing what to wear to a standing concert, try to go for breathable fabrics that allow you to move freely and stay cool amidst the crowd’s energy. We all know how hot it can get when you’re standing at a gig – don’t forget to make sure you have some liquids to keep yourself hydrated!
Avoid uncomfortable shoes that might leave you with blisters or sore feet. Instead, choose footwear that’s comfy but still looks unreal, such as cowboy boots (ideal if you’re going to see Tay Tay or Bey).

Layering is another practical tip for concert outfits, as the temperature inside venues can fluctuate. Always try to start with a versatile base layer like a crop top or a lightweight t-shirt. Throw on a stylish jacket that you can easily tie around your waist or carry in a bag if it gets too warm. Depending on the time of year, you might need a jacket on the way home! By grabbing these extra layers, you’ll be prepared for any weather dramas without sacrificing your gig-going style.
Accessories play a crucial role in elevating your concert ensemble. Opt for a shoulder bag or a cute small backpack that will help you carry your essentials while keeping your hands free for dancing. We love the Woven Knotted Shoulder Bag in Black for its style and size.
Statement earrings, funky sunglasses, or bold hats can add an extra touch of personality to your look. However, remember that large and heavy accessories might become hard work after a few hours, so choose wisely.
