Not been to many outdoors recently but in UK recommend waterproof layer. For nightclub style gigs remember can get hot, particularly if you have a hot moment. Last gig I went to though was a small one in a large nightclub, famous for music, loved by students. Wore leggings, buckle boots, long tunic, always jewellery. Be true to yourself, better not to be too grungey when you’re older. I’m 53.

For indoor concerts I found 2 logo t-shirts from a world-famous guitar maker; one black with simple white lettering, and one more elaborate in burgundy with pink, tan & gold. I pair the tees with either camo jegging, distressed denim jeans or black coated denim with a very subtle reptile pattern. I finish with high-top wedge sneakers or ankle booties and tailor my accessories accordingly. Depending on the venue, a denim shirt, cargo jacket, or rolled-sleeve blazer for the top layer.
For a multi-day summer outdoor music festival, I wear simple solid color tees or a tank and kimono, paired with distressed denim bermudas or summer weight cargo capris. Footwear is supportive slip-on sneakers or a “hiking sandal”.

These are all great ideas! … For indoor concerts. 😉 Most of the shows we attend are during summer in South Carolina at outdoor, amphitheater-style venues. It is hot! Even after the sun goes down, it’s still hot and humid. It might even rain. I usually wear shorts and a band tee, with some faux Converse style sneakers. Or I might wear a cute pair of patterned shorts and a plain tee with a long necklace and some jingly bracelets. Some ladies opt for capri pants or cute skirts. Depending on the show, lots of ladies wear tie-dye, gauzy skirts or tops, too. Parking is almost always grass or gravel, and some people prefer lawn seating rather than seats, making high heels impractical. I’d love to see some ideas for warmer weather concert wear! PS, don’t bring a purse! Wear something with pockets or have your partner carry your lipstick and credit card/cash in his pockets. That way you don’t hold up the line at the security check! Many venues in the US now have a clear bag only policy anyways, and those are more trouble than they are worth.
