Sequins, Cowboy Boots and Halter Tops—This Is What to Wear to Your Next Concert

Taylor Swift is taking over Edinburgh this weekend, and while I wasn’t one of the lucky ones who secured a golden ticket, I have been assembling hypothetical outfits in my head as if I were. Summer is often when the biggest, most exciting concerts and festivals happen—whether you’re attending a weekend-long event in a field, or an intimate gig at your favourite local venue, you’ll need a killer outfit to show up in style.

What you wear depends on the artist you’re seeing, to an extent. There’s a whole TikTok hashtag dedicated to Eras Tour outfits—let’s just say bejewelled dresses and pink cowboy boots feature heavily—but other concert types call for a moodier, low-key vibe. Whichever route you go down, don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes for dancing and keep a layer on hand (especially if the concert is outdoors).
