Finding outfits to wear to concerts can be difficult, and it varies between artists. Today, I am lucky enough to attend Drake’s “Big as the What?” tour. Though I have a fashion column for The Slate, I normally dress in sweatshirts and sweatpants due to comfort. On a day where I am going to a concert, it’s very important to me to do things that I would not do every day.

I love the color black. I think black is elegant, classy, and flattering. Drake’s tour is a black and blue theme, which makes me feel confident because I personally think I look the best in darker colors. I wanted to incorporate my everyday style into the concert, so I wore all black.

I am wearing black flare pants with strings in the front that you can tie around your body, and I paired this with a long sleeve black crop top. Currently, you can see the ties around my waist because of the crop top. The flares at the bottom of my pants add an element of accessory, which helps any outfit succeed. With the clothing pieces, I decided to wear my UNC to Chicago Jordan 1’s. They are black, blue and red. As previously mentioned, the tour is black and blue themed. My outfit is blue and black, and my hair is red, which matches my shoes. Attention to detail is mandatory. 

I recently got rid of my bangs, so I’ve been loving my hair straightened. When my hair is straight, it frames my face nicely and looks polished. For the concert, I decided to implement this hairstyle into my concert outfit. Because what I’m wearing is flared and fitting, I thought it would be important for my hair to fit the same energy. Hair is a major component to any look. 

Makeup is optional, but for my personal standards, I love the way it heightens my appearance. It maximizes my confidence and makes me feel symmetrical. Today’s look is a base of Rare Beauty concealer, Fenty Beauty contour (in the shade Amber), Rare Beauty blush (in the shade Encourage) and Better than Sex mascara (in the shade Chocolate). I also did winged eyeliner, as it lengthens your eyes and creates an illusion of additional brightness. With this, I’m wearing a Nyx lip liner (in the shade Nude Pink) and Fenty Beauty lip oil. The look is complete.

Concerts are wonderful events to attend, because you can see the people you love and look up to and indulge in your fashion desires. I am excited to see my favorite rap artists perform, even though rap is not my favorite genre. It has been a dream of mine to see Drake, and he is bringing out one of my favorite humans of all time: Lil Wayne (I’m seeing Lil Wayne!). Hopefully they like my outfit.
