Going to a music concert is not as simple as it seems, especially when we are discussing the fashion choice. Picking from the wrong wardrobe collection will make us stand out from the crowd, but not for the right reason. In some cases, even wearing a band t-shirt does not guarantee safety. For example, Kendall Jenner has been bullied and hated by most metalheads because she acted as a poser to the genre. She ever tweeted once that she could not understand how people can enjoy listening to music as harsh as metal. But on another occasion, she wears Slayer t-shirt for a fashion statement.
Rock community, especially the extreme version, metal, is full of elitists. Their style is not only a fashion choice but a lifestyle. It is more like a religion to them, so any hipster who is trying to go to the show without even knowing who the performers are will be most likely to get bullied.
Observing the headliners
The first fashion tip that will guarantee your safety is to pay close attention to the concert headliners. Try to get a t-shirt or any merchandise that is related to the band. Improve your fashion vocabulary by browsing concert images and learn how they dress. As an example, the show of children of bodom denver in 2009 can be a good start. And once you observe the concert images, you will notice that there is no clear-cut difference between female and male outfit code. As long as it is dark, the scene approves.
Cargo pants
Cargo pants are wearable for both men and women. But the men tend to choose the long pants, while females are wearing the shorts. But you need to know also that there are cargos for males and there are cargos for females. Female cargo shorts are about the same size as hot pants. Male cargo shorts are just slightly above the knees are not of fit-size. Male cargo shorts do not highlight any curve, unlike the female counterpart.
Metal footwear
When it comes to footwear, you will see various kinds of it. Some black metal or goth fans might wear biker or new rock boots. And the Thrashers will prefer sneakers. All of them should be in dark colors.
Leather jacket
Wearing a leather jacket is also metal. It is like reverence to the pioneers of power metal, like Judas Priest. Manowar, and Hellhammer. Women who wear leather jackets also fit prettily with the atmosphere of rock/metal concerts.
Vest
The alternative to leather jackets is the vest-jacket. It gives you a sense of vulgar savagery if compared to leather jackets. Vests also allow customization, such as with pins or band patches. Once you get bored with one band, you can replace the patch with another.
