What you can wear to concerts as a standout look
1. Classic Jeans
Denim jeans over a corset or sequined top remains the classic and timeless concert choice. High-waisted jeans and a top embellished with rhinestones can make you look like a timeless concert queen. Remember to keep your top dressier than your bottoms. And if you want to wear pants to concerts, a halter neck satin with flare or bellbottoms would make you shine too. As for the accessories, go for chokers or bandanas to look like a dancing queen.
2. Bubble skirts
Remember when bubble skirts made it to the Runway in Australian fashion week in Sydney for its 2024 and 25 season? You can steal them for your concert looks. Bubble skirts are the way to go when you want to make that romantic, soft-feminine statement. A voluminous silhouette cinched at the hem, this kind of skirt is titular and flowy. The ‘away from the body’ silhouette is a fresh alternative to the slim-fitting or body-fitting skirts. The bubble hem has returned to the Spring-summer fashion show runway, and you’d be donning a runway-approved look as you doll up to listen to your favorite artists. Bubble skirts with embellished sequins? They will only add to your concert glam. You can style them in numerous ways. As for the top, go for a crop top or a body-fitting top. Off-shoulder and bandeau styles are quite a popular choice for concert goers. Keep it minimal on the accessories, as you’d already be sparkling in the lights. You can even go for the cool girl aesthetic, with a metal or rock tee, a mid-length bubble skirt and boots. Style it with chains or hoops to create that cool concert look.
3. Bustier tops
Let's face it, corsets vs bustiers are a long-standing debate. Corsets are essentially for more formal events, while bustiers are for modern event-friendly looks. In fact, due to their slim fits, bustiers will perfectly complement your bubble skirts. While they flatter your figure, they’d also create that stand-out effect.
4. Metallic skirts
You’d definitely want to add metallic skirts to your concert wear. Give yourself a glamorous edge with metallic skirts. They should definitely be on your cool concert looks bucket list.
5. Denim with Rhinestones : Classic combo
Denims are the perfect way to create a chic and confident statement, and that, combined with rhinestones, can help your concert outfits glow in the light. Denim and rhinestones would complement each other, interacting with the concert lights, bringing out your best look as you shine and groove to your favorite outfits.
You could also go for floral midis with satin detailing or bodice dresses with a bandeau type silhouette. Experiment with jackets with ethnic detailing for a polished and contemporary finish.
Body and Face glitter
Glitter is the ultimate choice for a glam look, elevating your concert style catalogue. Be it from the jeans and dressy top style or a bubble skirt with a bandeau. Think of glitter as an accessory, just as you would wear earrings or other concert looks. Glitter around the eyes or the lips works best, as it is the first place where a person’s gaze would travel. Think colored mascaras with gold or silver eyeshadow. You can wear rhinestones over your eyelids too. Think of it like different cycles of the moon displayed together over a silver background, if you go for silver eyeshadow. You can give off the main character energy as you stand out with your concert look in Australia.
Concert season in Australia is your time to stand out and shine. Whether you’re rocking denim and rhinestones, styling a bubble skirt with a bold top, or adding a touch of glitter for extra glam, the key is to wear something that feels confident, comfortable, and completely you. When the lights flash and the music starts, your outfit should move with you and reflect your vibe—so dress up, sparkle a little, and own the night.
