From the Pit to the Fit: What are Andover Students Wearing to Concerts?

From glittering scarves to leather and denim, students at Andover curate bold, expressive looks that match the energy of their favorite artists. These concert outfits aren’t just about style, they amplify the vibes, deepen the connection to the music, and make the moment unforgettable.

“I attended Dom Dolla at Madison Square Garden. He’s a fun DJ and producer that makes good music. He makes mostly house music, but also some EDM too. [During the concert] I wore a purple sequined skirt with a black kind of mesh sheer long sleeve, and a gold scarf. I wanted to wear more sequins or bright colors [because] I feel like that just made sense for his kind of music and the vibe of the concert. I was confused about how to style the scarf at first, but I just wrapped it around my neck like a normal scarf, and then made it into a balaclava. My outfit made me feel more excited for the concert, and I was able to enjoy it more, really experiencing more than just listening to the music.”

“[I went] to a three-day music festival called Outside Lands in San Francisco in August. I went with my good friend Ethan Oder [’25] and I wore this outfit on day one of the festival. On day one, we saw multiple artists including Daniel Caesar, Kevin Abstract, and Tyla. When we were brainstorming outfits, we were inspired by one of Brent Faiyaz’s outfits where he wore a white shirt with a tie, blue jeans, and a black jacket. We thought it was cool, so we decided to recreate that. I thought wearing a tie was fun because I was dressing up a little more than everyone else at the festival, which was a cool experience.”

“I went to Country Fest. The concert was on August 24. It was at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. When we were there, we saw Megan Moroney, Zac Brown, and Kenny Chesney. I like these artists because I grew up listening to them with my family, and they have good vibes, so it was really cool to see them all in person. I wore jean shorts, Vejas, and a top from Edikted. I styled myself this way because I felt like it gave off the summer vibe, and my shirt had a kind of country vibe [and] I was gonna wear a skirt, [but] then I wore jean shorts, [which made me feel] much more comfortable and free to move. My favorite part of my outfit was my shirt. I’ve never worn it before, so wearing it [for the] first time made the moment special. The shirt is a blue backless gingham tank top.”

“I went to Outside Lands, a festival that happens every summer in San Francisco, and I go every year with my friends. Almost everyone at home goes, so it’s really fun to reconnect with people, and I also get to see friends from Andover… I thrifted my skirt in Barcelona, and I really liked this piece because it is pretty unique and fun. I chose this shirt because I wanted to match the color of the skirt, and the headscarf is my mom’s, which she got from her mom. My boots were also my mom’s.”

“I attended the Zedd concert in the fall. I started to listen to House music more this year, just cause a lot of my friends have been listening to it more. Also, I like to listen to it on runs because it has an upbeat tempo. Zedd is really catchy, and the music he plays is good. He does a lot of good remixes, which are really well-known. My favorite part was how they used a lot of visual effects, like a lot of different lights, and fire at times too, making it not just about the music. I wore a black top, mini leather shorts, a kind of head scarf thing, and glasses. If you have a good outfit for a concert, it makes you feel better and more connected to the music. Also, my outfit was really comfortable.”
