2) Green Machine
In a sea of muted tones, it’s time to embrace the vibrant allure of color for your next summer festival. And this season, all eyes are on the captivating shades of green. This saturated hue holds the key to adding an electrifying pop of color to your neutral ensemble. If you’re feeling extra bold, follow this influencer’s suit by opting for a pair of green trousers. These colorful bottoms are a surefire way to stand out among any crowd. You can even go the extra mile by coordinating your green bottoms with a matching accessory for a full circle moment.

3) Metallica
Aside from sequins and bold colors, you should consider incorporating metallics to your upcoming concert. Whether it is a reflective mini skirt or a pair of flashy boots (or both worn simultaneously, such as Aimee does), you are almost guaranteed to look like a million bucks. Regardless of your preference between silver or gold, don’t be afraid to double down on a few metallic pieces within one look for optimum impact.

4) A Touch of Barbie
Everyone this summer is talking about nothing but Barbie, so channel your inner doll head on by incorporating flashes of pink into your concert look. Perhaps one of the easiest ways to do so is by styling a fuchsia toned top with your favorite pair of jeans. As long as you are wearing some variation of bubble gum pink, you’re sure to get the message across. But for good measure, pile on the pink accessories such as sunglasses, handbag, and sandals.

5) 90’s Baby
One of the prevailing trends the past few years has been taking inspiration from years past. While Y2K looks are youthful and fun, borrowing from the 90’s offers a more pared-back approach. Simply throw on a strapless top and kitten heels. But by far, the most important element is a pair of loose, baggy jeans that will round out the entire look. For extra credit points, a messy updo is a stylish final touch.

6) Coastal Cowgirl
Popularized by TikTok, the coastal cowgirl aesthetic is exactly as it sounds. It manages to combine the easy, effortless feel of resortwear with the rustic vibe of the western trend. Both looks manage to mesh really well together, despite their differences. Marta takes the lead by wearing a crochet matching set with a pair of cowgirl boots. Both elements are not only incredibly effective, but are perfect for tackling an all day festival.

7) Dripping in Crystals
Fringe is always a fun detail, so why not take it one step further with crystal fringe? This offers up the same merits as fringe as it still provides movement, texture, and dimension to your outfit. However, the crystal element certainly takes it up several notches. The added rhinestones add an endless amount of drama, creating a look that’s hard to ignore. Plus, it will make dancing through the night extra special.

8) Denim Days
No matter what, you can always rely on denim for an infallible outfit. Whether you need to scramble for a last minute ensemble or just want an uncomplicated look, denim is your one-size-fits-all solution. But rather than just throwing on some cut-offs and calling it day, try your hand at an all denim ensemble. Pair your shorts with a cropped jean jacket for a catchy monochromatic moment.

9) Walk on the Wild Side
Embrace your wild side with a bit of lace. A summer concert is the ideal excuse to get dolled up and to wear your flirtiest outfit. While we always adore a lace corset, something out of the box, like a pair of lace pants, is more fitting for that endless, care-free summer vibe. Sofia layers a pair of these eye-catching bottoms underneath an ultra mini skirt for a little more coverage.

10) Flower Power
This quick and easy outfit comes together in seconds and is the perfect solution to last minute concert plans. We can guarantee almost everyone has a little floral mini dress within their arsenal. But instead of styling with sandals, complete the look with a pair of platform combat boots. Doing so adds edginess to an otherwise completely feminine look but it also means a little boost so you can see the stage.
