From Drake to Phoebe Bridgers to Zach Bryan, artists draw in people everywhere to their concerts. Whether you go with your friends or parents, it is always fun to see your favorite artist live.

The process of buying tickets and finding someone to go with is fairly easy for many, but the bigger challenge comes when trying to pick an outfit. Some pressures of finding your perfect concert look may be based on music genre and trends, as well as clothing prices and preferences.

Although it can be difficult to find your outfit, it doesn’t have to be impossible. Luckily, there are many different ways to find ideas and inspiration. This includes Pinterest, Instagram, or even your school newspaper.

“I love finding outfits for concerts,” junior Lilly Kimble said. “It’s really fun to search for different clothes.” Lilly has attended Austin City Limits, a music festival in Austin, Texas, several times throughout the years and finds a fun outfit to wear every time. One year, she wore a fun sparkly top and colorful denim jean shorts.

There are many places to go shopping for outfits, such as malls and other cloth- ing stores in the Omaha area. Some stores include Garage, Urban Outfitters, Pacsun and even department stores such as Von Maur. If you’re looking to support small businesses, there are also small clothing stores in Omaha such as Four Sister Boutique and Mesh.

Don’t worry if you don’t want to shop in person, though, because there are also a plethora of options for cute clothes online. Some online-only places to shop for concert clothes are White Fox, CottonOn, Amazon and Princess Polly.

There are even online stores that are extremely cheap for people looking for outfits on a budget. Junior Izzy Vlasek recently bought a top from a newer shop- ping platform called TikTok shop, similar to Shein. This online store is within the TikTok app and is extremely cheap and trending. The top she bought was for the Ross Lynch concert on April 11, and she “loved to rock it.”

Rather than just doing a Google search for more original ideas, you can take advice from influencers on TikTok and Instagram. Some popular influencers to search for are Gertie Nazaroff, Ana Stowell, Halle Sandberg and Tilly Joan. You can find all four of these influencers on TikTok, Instagram and other forms of social media. All of these influencers have a large following from displaying their different types of clothes, jewelry, makeup and other products.

The varieties and combinations of clothing pieces are endless, and choosing what to wear does not have to be difficult. Overall, concerts are a place to express yourself and be who you are, so you should wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. But if you’re stuck and stressin’, try these style ideas that will leave an impression— whether you’re in the stands or you’re “finna be in the pit.”
