The Best Outfit For Summer Concerts-What To Wear To A Concert

Whether you’ve got tickets to see Adele at the Greek, Dolly Parton at the Bowl, or Sade at the Staples Center, there’s a bevy of can’t-miss girl power concerts happening all summer long in the City of Angels. And while budgeting for tickets and figuring out parking are surely things you’ll have to worry about ahead of time, you won’t have to stress about finding the perfect look—we’ve already got you covered. Just steal a page from this SoCal gal’s style playbook: High-wasted jean shorts, a comfy band T-shirt, and leopard cardi layered under a chic, rocker-esque leather jacket is the ultimate (and easy!) event ensemble. You can keep the jacket on to stay cozy en route to the concert, and strip off layers when you work up that sweat while singing and grooving. Just remember to wear some cool black ankle boots to add that practical standing-all-night-long edge, and we promise you’ll be hitting a high note that really resonates.
