Before they cue the music at the next gig you’re slated to attend, you’d better make sure you have your sartorial act together. That’s right – what you wear to a concert is a pivotal part of setting the mood for the evening. Besides, if concerts are all about artistic expression through music, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do the same through your clothes, right? From floral printed dresses to sleek and simple shorts, concert clothes should be flexible, comfortable, breathable, lively, and most of all, statement-making. So whether you’re looking to spend a pretty penny or save up for drinks, you can take a tip from this lineup.
