If you’re going to a punk or a metal concert, then lots of black clothing and spikes (and possibly a highlighted mohawk).
For country concerts… actually, if you know what to wear to a rodeo, it’s safe to say that you know what to wear to a country concert.
And hip-hop outfits are absolutely no different!
Well of course, except for the influence of music, audience, and general vibes. All of which we totally stan.
From Missy and Doja to Drake, Future, and dare we say… Beiber, there IS a unspoken dresscode.
There is no one perfect rap concert outfit, but believe us when we say, there are plenty of top contenders, babe. Here’s our roundup of baddie outfits that will help you match the vibe of your next hip-hop concert.
