You might want to channel the vibe of your favorite artist with a costume-inspired look. Or, you may prefer a more trendy and fashion-forward style. One way or another, if you're on the hunt for the best festival-style outfit ideas, we've gathered 12 looks that are sure to turn heads. From sporty chic to bohemian glam and modest elegance, these outfits are designed to stand out and make it easy to dance the night away.
No matter if you're off to a field or a packed concert hall, you'll find what to wear to a festival or chamber music concert here.
Jorts
As many of us have discovered through experience, some concert musical outfits may look attractive at first but quickly become uncomfortable as the night goes on. Fortunately, that's not the case with a reliable pair of denim shorts. These staples most likely are already in your summer capsule wardrobe, thanks to their comfort and practicality. Not only are they stylish to match any concert vibe, especially in the summer months and relaxed concert dress code, but they also keep you comfortable throughout a long set. Just be sure to pair them with some comfy footwear.
For our example, we styled the Loose shorts from Agolde with a Floral printed linen blouse from 120% Lino, adding a touch of sophistication with Hereu's Flat square crossbody bag in a soft sand hue.

Crochet
Whether by the pool, at the beach, or in a desert, crochet outfits are the perfect choice for festival outfit inspo. A crochet maxi dress exudes an air of elegance while adding a playful touch with its sheer knit design. If dresses aren't quite your style, embrace the trend with a matching set or flowy pants.
For our summer music festival look, we want to highlight the stylish crochet set from House of Dagmar, featuring the Crochet drawstring skirt paired with a Crochet poloneck top in black. Complete this ensemble with bold statement shoes and eye-catching accessories to make your outfit pop.
Country
What to wear to a music festival with a distinct country vibe? Grab your cowboy hat, pull on some cowboy boots, and don't forget those western belt buckles! For the complete look, go with bootcut jeans, or switch things up with cut-off shorts on those sweltering hot days.
Our fav band concert outfits feature High-rise bootcut jeans from Citizens of Humanity paired with the Poloneck long-sleeve top by Erika Cavallini. Just remember, the magic of this ensemble lies in the accessories!
Elegant Silhouette
When deciding what to wear to an indoor concert, such as an opera or classical music performance, focus on balancing modesty and trendiness. Opt for neutral colors and sculptural silhouettes. Consider styles like A-line dresses, tonal ensembles, or sharp-shaped tops and bottoms.
For a classy festival look, we paired the Sculpted tube top with an A-line silk skirt, both from House of Dagmar. This black ensemble emphasizes elegance through its silhouette and can be enhanced with the right footwear. A pair of black Woven slingback sandals from Hereu perfectly completes this understated outfit.

Rock Chic
Heading to see your favorite pop star or a legendary rock band? Don't underestimate the power of rock concert attire. A pair of black leather pants and boots can truly set the tone, especially when you add stylish accents like a lace top or a leather corset—depending on how daring you feel!
In this ensemble, we paired Straight-fit leather trousers with a Lace knit top with a unique lace design. And if you are wondering which shoes to wear to a concert with festival lace attire, you can't go wrong with black Leather Chelsea boots from Voile Blanche—both chic and comfortable.
Bohemian Pastels
Sundresses truly represent a girl's go-to summer style. With their cute patterns, airy fabrics, and feminine shapes, they add a chic touch to everything from a concert bohemian outfit to a beach party outfit. They pair well with virtually any footwear, whether sneakers, boots, or sandals. When it comes to colors, let yourself be drawn to soft dusty blues, delicate purples, and sunny butter yellows that radiate a cheerful and whimsical pastel aesthetic.
We adore the light blue V-neck flared linen midi dress from 120% Lino for summer concerts and live events. Team it up with a stylish pair of white Cross-strap leather sandals by Erika Cavallini, and you'll be ready to rock those bohemian vibes!
Low Rise Jeans
Low-rise jeans return from the '90s, and they're here to stay. Embrace that cool vibe with low-slung denim, platform boots, and a bright top. These jeans are a fantastic way to inject some edge into your music festival attire while ensuring you stay comfortable all day long.
Agolde's Low-rise baggy jeans in a light blue wash are a must-have for both your casual outfits and festival ensembles. Team them up with the olive Contrast stitch top for a pop of color, and complete the look with stylish accessories like a statement bag or oversized sunglasses.

Cute Mini
Looking for a super simple way to shine at a music festival? Dress to impress with those short hemlines! Whether it's a minidress or a miniskirt, you can't go wrong.
As a festival look inspo, we suggest the stylish black Mini strap dress from House of Dagmar. Its sculptural silhouette and flattering halter neck will make you stand out. If a skirt is more your vibe, check out Lisa Yang's vibrant apricot Fringed mini skirt. Pair it with the matching Fringed vest top, and you're guaranteed to turn heads in the crowd!
Sports
The sporty style is definitely on trend, extending well beyond just sports enthusiasts. In recent years, boxy tees have transitioned from mere stadium gear to bold fashion statements, largely thanks to influencers and celebrities. Pairing a jersey with relaxed-fit pants and chunky sneakers creates a cool music festival outfit, while standout accessories add an extra touch of chic.
We put together our festival retro outfit featuring the blue Embroidered crewneck t-shirt from Aeronautica Militare and the Cargo cotton trousers from Agolde. Don't overlook footwear—select something eye-catching, like the Rubber-heel platform sneakers from Voile Blanche, to complete the ensemble.
Fringe
Surround yourself with tassels and fringes, and dance the night away! Whether you opt for fringed hems, embrace a fully Western style with camel suede, or add a touch of luxury with sequined embellishments, these decorative details bring movement and flair to your concert experience.
For our outfit ideas for a concert, we paired a Fringe midi skirt with a chic Open back top in classic black. Suppose the weather turns chilly; layer on a stylish coat or blazer. Complete your look with some minimalist accessories for that perfect finishing touch.

Jacket over Knit Dress
The best fall music festival outfit starts with a reliable jacket, like a denim or chore style. To complement the practical jacket, layer a statement dress underneath—opt for something shiny! Whether attending an open-air festival or an underground concert, head-to-toe sequins, rhinestones, and glitter will help you stand out. Plus, you'll sparkle under the concert lights.
Using this formula, we can put together a stylish 90's concert outfit with a modern twist. Pair an Agolde Oversized Vintage Denim Jacket with a Metallic Knit Dress featuring golden accents for a vibrant, eye-catching look.
Scarf Top
When it comes to trendy tops, the scarf top is a must-try. If celebrities can pull it off onstage, it's definitely a stylish choice for the crowd as well. Dress to impress with your festival style with a chic bandana tank that has straps, or get creative by transforming a silk scarf into a fashionable top—just fold it into a triangle and tie it around your back.
The Silk scarf from Beige Brown is an excellent option for that fashion-forward look. Pair it with a Denim asymmetric skirt for a striking ensemble, and choose the Padded fisherman sandals from Hereu as your comfy music festival shoes.
