now first and formost you have to look at what kind of show you are going to. wearing spikes would not go over well at a justin timberlake concert, or when going to see the symphony.
(trust me, i tried it with the symphony thing... never got around to seeing a jt show... but i'm not too sad about that either.)
so once you've established what kind of show you are going to, it is time to look at the time of this concert. daytime or nighttime? this is very important when picking out what kind of pants (or skirt) to wear. i would suggest pants for the evening, and capri's for the afternoon. i shy away from shorts; but that's just me, and i'm an odd person. if you feel like rocking the skirt: short for informal events, long for more formal things.
now that we've gone through the simple part of deciding what to wear on the bottom half of your body, we will now move up a bit. there are two things i must say for dressing your top...
first, wear layers. tank top, tee, and then hoody. (or if it's a formal thing: tank, oxford blouse, and jacket.) the layers will help you, because as we all know, you start out comfy at a show, get hot... and then when you leave, you will usually get cold before you end up getting home. layers will save you. i promise you that much.
second, black is always in. many colors have tried to out black... but black will always be the new black. black can be dressed up or dressed down. no matter what show you go to (local scene, big concert, orchastra, broadway performance...) simple black can always work for you. now remember, i said simple sequins and such are only acceptable at formals, on strippers, or on old ladies at church functions.
if you don't like black, then i suggest other dark colors such as burgandy, forest green, and navy blue. save the pastels for picnics.
i think this is the time to mention t-shirts. never - and i mean never wear a t-shirt of the band that you are seeing to that band's show. i can't remember what movie explains this, but it's true. you don't want to be "that kid"... the kid that looks pretty dorky wearing all the band's merch. (of course, we've all made this mistake... it's a rite of passage, really.) but, if you feel like wearing a band tee... make sure that band is not playing.
if you want to blend in with most of the audience you can always go and wear a classic rock tee. (the beatles, rolling stones, zeppelin, the doors, pink floyd... all good choices.) or, if you want to stand out, you can always go and wear a "relitively unknown and possibly regional band" shirt... which is a great convo starter if you're up for meeting new people.
other good tees to wear would be anything dealing with sex, alcohol or drugs. "vintage" tees (99 cent thrift store specials are a personal favorite of mine)... i would shy away from most shirts that show any kind of school spirit. fuck school.
be weary of being a billboard for various companies. if you're wearing a shirt that has hurley plastered on it, olong with a hoody that has element all over it, your pants that say abercormbie right on the ass, in addition to the huge ass volcom stone on your purse... it's overkill. not to say "don't wear labeled clothes, blah blah"... hell, i do it... just do it in moderation. pick one or two items, and wear some plain articles.
finally. pick your footwear for comfort in additon to style. wear ratted out sneakers. seriously. your feet will thank me for that advice later.
in my mind the most foulproof outfit is a black tee, a comfy pair of jeans, my old vans, and a good belt. the concert is about the music... and when you're comfy, you can totally appreciate the music, and that's what really counts.
later babes.
