Over the years, music festivals and concerts have transformed from a listening party to a fashion show. Social media and Outfit of the Day videos encourage festivalgoers to dress to the nines, matching each artist’s aesthetic and unofficial dress code — ACL is no different. The Daily Texan put together a lookbook to help inspire ACL festival-worthy outfits that turn heads.
Sabrina Carpenter
One of the hottest artists in this year’s lineup is Sabrina Carpenter. Not only is her music risqué, but her outfits are, too. For Carpenter fans, ACL proves particularly exciting since the release of her latest album, Man’s Best Friend. To match this new aesthetic, the Texan recommends short, black and sparkly. One idea is a short black mini skirt paired with boots with little to no heel, as attendees often stand for hours. For tops, aim for flowy, bedazzled or see-through nightgown lingerie. Another option to pair with her suggestive songs include jorts with a see through shirt or a barely-there crop top.
Doechii
For those looking to replicate the rising rap sensation Doechii’s concert attire, the outfit starts with accessories. Gold jewelry, including long necklaces, bracelet stacks and big earrings, supports a unique skirt or pants with different patterns and fabrics, mid-length white socks and cute sneakers. With Doechii’s eccentric style, tops come in a wide variety. Think small tank tops with sequins, office siren-inspired button-downs and ties, vests and a personal favorite, vintage bikini tops.
Luke Combs
One of the biggest country artists requires the most fabulous country outfits. For Luke Combs, think game day but less burnt orange and more white, denim and gold. For example, consider white tank tops, denim vests, halter tops and denim shorts or flowy white skirts coordinated with gold hoops and a cute gold chain belt. Red offers another option to stand out. A red dress or skirt paired with white boots will catch eyes and make for good pictures. However, no matter the outfit, for those hoping to see Combs, boots are a must.
FEID
One of the most well-known Latin artists, FEID, will take the stage at ACL this year on both Sundays. Known for his neon green stage outfits, fans opt to match. Tight neon green tops, bandana tops and tank tops pair well with white mini skirts or small shorts, although jorts offer another fitting option. To complete the look, sunglasses are a must, as well as hair accessories, ribbons in braids, green and orange passadores and glowy, dramatic makeup with jewels and a large eyeliner wing.
