My Friend Asked Me What to Buy for a Late-Summer Concert—I Sent Her This List
One of my favorite texts to receive: "Do you want to come with me to this concert?" The second it pops up on my phone, I'm already figuring out what I'm going to wear. I'm a huge live music girl: you'll find me at a concert most weekends of the year, especially in the summer, when I'll happily say yes to just about any excuse to hear music outside.
Whether it's a major festival like Lollapalooza, a country concert, or a local band playing at a bar, I treat every show as an opportunity to get dressed up in a way that feels a little more fun than usual. My outfit differs depending on the vibe—festivals call for something different than a stadium show—but the one constant is that I always want to feel comfortable, like a more fun version of my everyday self.
So when my friend asked me to help her plan a few concert looks for the summer, I immediately headed to Nordstrom. Ahead, head-to-toe look inspo for whatever concerts this summer takes you to.
Big Jacket, Mini Short
This leather jacket is on major sale and will be a closet staple for life.
I love to juxtapose a masculine top with more feminine bottoms.
I wear mine every day.
Funnel necks are all the rage.
The studs on these!
The perfect little shorts to go with a big jacket.
Will always love a nylon jacket.
Again, I love the sporty look against the girly shorts. You'll wear these all summer.
Comfortable, cute, and easy to wipe off. What more could you need?
A Cool Pant and Great Accessories
You'll wear these twill pants for years to come.
The bias cut adds interest.
How cool are these?
The perfect oversized white tee.
I am currently obsessed with a skant.
The ruched leather feels fun and different.
A classic.
White on white for a concert is majorly chic.
With this bag to top it off.
Sporty Chic
Feels very current.
A sporty top + girly bottom. Are you sensing a formula here?
I love wearing a boot to a concert or festival. Bonus points if they're Frye.
Stock up on these tanks!
The colors are just so right.
These look 10x more expensive than they are. And I love how the yellow ties the outfit together.
Perfect White Dress
My roommate wore this to Coachella and has reworn it a million other times. Such a classic.
I've never needed something more.
Everything you could want from a maxi dress: lightweight, flattering, and affordable.
Another easy throw-on-and-go shoe.
