There’s just something electric about live music—dimmed lights, deep bass, a crowd vibing together. But before you even step into the venue, the classic question hits: what am I supposed to wear? If you want to show up with just the right amount of style and swagger (and, yes, great hair), there’s no one better to turn to than celebrity stylist and Britt Lower’s husband Kenna Kennor.
Whether you’re channeling glitz, indie cool, or laid-back legend, Kenna’s advice will have you looking and feeling the part—no rockstar connections required.
Start with the Vibe—But Make It Yours
Kenna never recommends “dress code cosplay.” Take a cue from the headliner and venue, but don’t feel boxed in. You’re going to move, dance, maybe sing along until you’re hoarse. If you usually live in jeans and band tees, Kenna suggests a killer jacket, funky sneakers, or layering necklaces for a punch of personality. More glam? Bust out sparkly boots or big statement earrings—you’re there to have fun, not just blend in.
Rockstar Hair, Even if You’re in the Cheap Seats
Concert hair is all about texture and easy polish. Kenna’s classic look: soft waves, messy buns, or textured ponytails that hold up if things get sweaty. For guys, a little styling cream and a tousle is all you need (no helmet hair, please).
Worried about your style lasting? Dry shampoo at the roots is your secret weapon Kenna swears by. If it rains or you’re in a packed crowd, a bandana makes for the chicest back-up plan.
Dress for Movement—You’ll Regret Fussy Outfits
Nothing will kill your vibe quicker than a skirt you can’t sit in, shoes that pinch, or complicated tops that ride up with every jump. Kenna is a champion for broken-in boots, layers (think vests, light jackets), and accessories you don’t have to babysit. Crossbody bags keep your hands free. Leave anything you’ll have to constantly adjust at home.
Add a Pop of Color or Edge
Concerts are a perfect excuse to try something new. Neon nail polish? Go for it. Metallic eyeliner or big, wild jewelry? Totally on-brand. Kenna’s signature touch: a little hair glitter or a dramatic part. Just don’t pile on every trend at once—pick and choose what feels like you.
Pack Light, But Smart
No one wants to cart around a huge tote all night. Kenna recommends the basics: ID, phone, cash, a tiny brush, a lip balm, and maybe a spare hair tie or two. And don’t forget—if you’re going to be outside, a clear rain poncho can save a whole look (and won’t block your light-up accessories).
Most important of all, Kenna says that the best accessory at a concert is your energy. Bring your best attitude, let your style set you free, and throw your head back for at least one wild, off-key singalong.
