What To Wear To Prince Concert?
I thought it only fitting to post something honoring the Prince.
In terms of fashion, Prince was famous for his rather androgynous, diverse, and bright clothing choices. One can imagine that people listened not only to music but also dressed in their finest Prince-inspired attire while attending his concerts. If you are privileged enough to secure a ticket for a Prince tribute concert, then it is expected that you should dress to please the purple one and the other fanatic supporters. Here are some tips for ensuring you dress like the prince you are at heart through your concert wear.
The Ruffled Shirt Prince would perform with his shirt open revealing his stomach, the shirt was like pirate style, ruffled and in shiny colors like purple and gold. Gather the drama with a ruffled top and choose a vibrant jewel color instead of going for a neutral color like white. I don't think that it is very hard for one to find cheap ruffled tops given the fact that there are shops that sell clubwear and going out wear. Sure, the shiny top can be complemented by black trousers or a skirt. Complete the style with an accessory seen on Prince, such as a headscarf or sunglasses, or Prince-inspired jewelry in the form of his famous love symbol.
The Three-Piece Suit Prince was a master at dressing sharp and frequently wore a three-piece suit, the kind that is well tailored in one of his favorite hues. Check your wardrobe or hit up the thrift stores for separates in purple, gold, or another jewel tone to match that royal feeling. Pair it with a clean and neat white button-down shirt topped with a thin tie or ascot if preferred. Complete it with a fedora to have the Prince-inspired look that is both stylish and modern. This look also provides space for some more individuality: buttons with Prince symbols or embroidered logos.
The Trench Coat In the summer of 1984, during the Purple Rain period, Prince was famous for those long trench coats, which allowed him to spin and casually unbutton the coat to show the bright-colored suits. Check out cheaper brands like H&M and Zara for the trench in tan, black, white, or even a deep purple. You can style it over a printed blouse, skinny jeans, or even faux leather leggings. Take a pair of heels or boots and sling them under the chair for a bit of Prince's sex appeal. Finish off with large frame glasses for that unmistakable prince feel.
Lace and Ruffles Galore Unlike today, Prince was not embarrassed to wear lace, ruffles, silk, and satin or all four materials in a single performance, especially when he wanted the performance to have a romantic feminine touch. You can find sheer fabrics in most stores selling formalwear, and lingerie, or even in some craft shops if you wish to incorporate lace and silky fabrics. An all-over lace top would look best when worn with leather pants or a ruffled skirt. Or sew some lace emplacements or peekaboo insertions onto a plain tee shirt. Lastly, the lipstick should be a daring shade and draw doves and teardrops inspired by Prince. I have always considered more lace, ruffling, and sparkles as the key to the perfect wedding gown.
The Motorcycle Jacket Prince was once known for wearing more feminine clothes but he was also a man and he never let go of this aspect by dressing rather more masculine at times than feminine. Make some of those edgy vibes shine through them by adding a good old moto jacket. Choose a daring hue instead of plain black, it can be red or purple, for instance. Extraordinary accessories including studs, pinstripes, or even custom-written texts, lyrics, or symbols such as the Prince's symbol make a basic moto jacket unique. Wear your rocker jacket over a fitted camisole, skinny jeans, and high-heeled boots to replicate the look seen at concerts Prince himself would have envied.
Glitzy Sequins and Metallics Prince also loved to dance so he found himself performing under the lights and wearing sequined suits of all the colors of the rainbow. You may not be able to find a sequin from top to toe but you will not miss a way of including some twinkle in your Prince concert outfit. Again, you might consider a sequenced tank with black leggings and a metallic skirt with boots. Or a sequined beret or a piece of jewelry will instantly transform a plain black outfit to another level. Rev up Channel Prince's kitsch factor with an iridescent jacket or glitter boots. Indeed, when it comes to sequins and shine the sky is most certainly the limit!
Make It Minimal Prince once again to perform shirtless at times, so you do not have to dress in an overly flamboyant manner to be styling like the icon. This can be done by opting for good-fitting black pants and heels accompanied by a bralette, camisole, or cropped jacket on the upper part of the body. Is your hair, your makeup, or your accessories colorful enough to bring color and zest into your life? For this sort of sexiness with minimal effort, all that you need is a bejeweled choker necklace, diamond teardrop earrings, and violet eye makeup.
Customize With Symbols no ensemble can be named Prince-inspired and not include the nods to his iconic trademarks; such as the unpronounceable love symbol which he used as his name in some period of his career. Search for T-shirts, jackets, bags, caps, etc., with printings of Prince's image that you can sew appliques, studs, patches, pins, and iron-ons on. One can even later add Prince patches on a jean jacket or embroider the symbol on a plain t-shirt. Not crafty? The same is true of merchandise available online, mostly T-shirts and other products with Prince's emblem or images associated with him.
Sky-High Platforms Prince's shows are all about the performances and that included lots of dancing, moving, and even soaring across the stage. You can pay respect to his bravery shoes with your high-platform shoes. Combat boots, wedge sneakers, and strappy stilettos will all help you recreate the funky footwear that was the trademark of Prince's iconic performances. As long as you can manage to climb the building then, you are ready to party all night.
And that, dear reader, is all you need to properly pay tribute to the purple one with your Prince concert wardrobe. Whether it's sequins and symbols, a three-piece suit and trench coat, lace and leather just remember to always dress fearless and unique like the artist Prince wanted all his fans to be. Lastly, remember that fashion is fun and don't be afraid to be playful when choosing your outfits. Prince's style is a beautiful chaos of long hair, makeup, and clothes that do not adhere to any normal rules of dressing for a man or a woman. So wear whatever makes you feel sexy, confident, and ready to celebrate the spirit of this nonconventional icon. Make sure your outfit for the concert makes you as happy as the music that the legendary Prince brings to the world. That is the best way to pay style homage to the purple one.
