Hi Imogen,
I love your website but am using it to gain confidence with choosing clothes that suit my shape.
I need your help and ideas for an outfit. I am a forty eight year old, X shape, bra 12F and I am going to a Powder finger concert with my children aged 19 and 17 in a few weeks time. I am not at all sure what to wear, I don’t want to look like someone my age trying to dress like their age, but I want them to think “Mum still has it”. Jeans may be ok but what to wear with them?
I would truly value any tips that you are able to send my way.
Kind regards,
Sally
So what does a 48 year old wear to a rock concert these days?
Given that you’ll be one of 100 000 (most likely), no need to overdress, but you definitely don’t want to dress frumpy and embarrass your kids, nor do you want to dress too young and look too ‘try hard’.
I’d suggest a great pair of jeans (definitely no mom-jeans), in a dark wash in a bootcut or straight leg style, then teamed with a funky top and some fun accessories.
No tacky old t-shirts, but something modern, team it with a soft leather biker style jacket for that bit of ‘rock chick’ glam.
Chunky jewellery is the way to go, this is not the outing for your delicate diamonds.
Make sure your shoes are stylish whilst still being comfortable to stand in for hours (and even dance, you will be tempted to get up and boogie).
Great suggestions!
Great tips for a 43 year old as well, thank you!
I love it. Hip without looking like you're trying too hard.
Love both looks! They're perfect!
Perhaps what you wear depends on which band you're going to see? Some bands you won't even have to worry about embarrassing your kids because the majority of the concert goers will be over 40 as well! I noticed this when we went to a Scorpions concert in June.
I am a 45 yr. old and I will be attending a Rick Springfield concert in Vegas in a couple of weeks with my hubby and his friends. I am never sure of what to wear. Can you help? I don’t want to over dress but I don’t want to under dress. I am 5′ and a little heavy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Lisa, these tips should work for you! As a petite, remember that less is often more, don’t clutter yourself with too much fabric or detail.
Great Suggestions and advice, I just turned 52 and next weekend my hubaby and I are going to a Brit Floyd Concert. I am 5’3 and am about 115 pds any suggestions for me?
I’m 54 years old and attending Lynard Skynyrd with my sons 27&23 and husband. Want to be stylish classy and appropriately edgy. Thanks in advance
Hops it’ll be HOT!
I’m going to a Slayer and Lamb of God concert in 2 days. My brother is taking me. We have pit tickets. I’m honestly a little scared. Looking at videos of Slayer mosh pits is terrifying lol. I’m 47 and love metal, but this is Thrash Metal, much different…a lot of men there. My brother looks the part (he is 43) and goes in the pit at almost every concert. What do I wear besides boots to protect my feet? HELP!
Steel cap boots! And black! Add a few extra piercings and you’ll fit right in. 😉
