From Glitter Mesh, Glossy Jumpsuits To Chic Boots, Your Style Guide To Dress For A Concert!

It’s the time of the year’s most-awaited music festival, as Lollapalooza makes its way to India from January 28 to 29, 2023. With a roaster of some of the world’s most loved musicians, the fest is all set to entertain Indian fans this year. And while everything from convincing your group of friends to getting that early bird ticket has already been ticked off the list, what remains as the biggest question is “What should I wear?” Concerts as much as fun and fancy as they sound, also require you to pick that easy yet chic outfit, that controls the sweat, and keeps you cool amidst the heated crowds of zillion others. Besides that, one also needs to look cute for that Instagram picture, which makes everyone sitting at home feel jealous. Hence, we’re here to help you curate your Wishlist-worthy look for the Lollapalooza India fest.

Comfy Bottoms 

The most common pick for concerts is a comfortable pair of trousers. Easy to spend a day in, and versatile enough to style in multiple new ways, you can pick your favourite, most funky pair to dress for the music fest. From graffiti denim, and snake-skin bellbottoms to patchwork prints, whipping a look in casual trousers will not be a task for you.

Mess With Mesh

The year 2022 ended with a growing love for glitter-filled fishnet fabric, that took a new shape and form for its renewed version. Finding a spot in every celebrity’s closet, the glitter-loaded mesh can be styled in plenty of new ways to for a night at the concert. Perfect to capture your OOTN in the dark, the drizzling crystal detailing can be used to inject some shine into a solid-coloured, simple look. Try these variations of mesh as seen on Tamannaah Bhatia, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Radhika Apte.

Relaxed Yet Chic Jumpsuits

Jumpsuit or mechanic suit is growing trend of the season, with Bollywood’s ‘it’ girls, giving them a new spin. Perfect for music fest and concerts, pick a sassy jumpsuit like Kiara Advani or a barbie-core-inspired glossy, latex pink silhouette like Jacqueline to dress yourself up. In both ways, you can trust funky hairdos and chunky jewellery to curate a marvellous look for the evening.

Statement Jackets

Jackets remain a staple, pick-me-up design for everyone heading to a concert. Suitable to cover up while getting back home or even layering your look with a statement pattern, you can pick super cute jacket designs with splash spray colours, embellished backs, or well-rounded necklines like in a varsity jackets. Confused? Take style cues from Hailey Bieber and Sonakshi Sinha.

Print It Up

For someone who is looking to go the fancy, more colourful way, take style cues from celebrities Esha Gupta and Sayani Gupta’s printed wardrobe. Especially in teeny tiny dresses, you can experiment with your favourite prints by curating a look with a fancy pair of footwear too. Much like Gupta, you can go all out with a head-to-toe print look with comfy boots to help you dance the night out.

Doll Up In Dresses

For someone looking to style a cute dress for an evening at a music concert, celebrities Janhvi Kapoor, Alaya F and Rakul Preet, will convince you to try layering and glossy leather. Much like Janhvi and Alaya, channel that main character energy in a well-tailored blazer with a quirky, little black dress, that has been lying in your closet for years. For some extra dramatic addition, choose a pair of sunglasses to finish off your look. And if layering doesn’t fit your style mood, select a lustrous leather/latex dress for a perfect instagram picture. Like Rakul, you can give your dresses, a sporty update with combat boots or even comfortable white sneakers.

Classics To Rescue

For someone, who is still unsure of their look for the Lollapalooza night, hold on and go shopping into your own closet. In case you’re building a last-minute look, seek help from your closet staples like a neat white shirt or tons of denim and stack it all together. Much like Ananya Panday, you can combine your crisp white collars with a bohemian, embellished skirt and curate a fabulous ensemble, or pick the fanciest pair of denim in your wardrobe and team it with the most comfortable tank top, pretty much like content creator–Prajakta Koli.

Accessories, Makeup And More

Even if you choose to wear the most simple attire possible, make sure to experiment with your jewellery, hair and makeup to dash an uber-cool look. To elevate your ensemble and keep your toes at ease in fancy boots, you can also take the route to layering, by combining all your silver jewellery and stacking it up around your neck. To keep you safe from the sun, make sure to take your fancy sunglasses, chic hats, a classic baseball cap or even printed silk bandanas along. For interesting additions to your look, you can also add a fancy phone chain that also does the duties of a quirky bag, as sported by Sonakshi Sinha.
